In Manor Lords, your task of growing the settlement is of the highest priority.

How To Place Roads

To place roads in the game, press the R button on the keyboard and you will access the Roads menu. You need to place at least two connecting points to make a road. For this, select an area and press the mouse's left button. This will pin one point anywhere you place the cursor.

Pick any length and direction and press the button again to draw the second road connecting point. Once this is done, click the hammer icon and you will see a road placement.

You can construct as many road points as necessary, and they can be short or long, depending on the situation or requirements of the town.

Clicking the right mouse button will undo the road point. This is useful for deleting a point if you accidentally created it.

You can only place or make new roads in your occupied regions. Making roads in the regions controlled by enemies and unclaimed regions is not possible, hence the option is always disabled. The road points will also be disabled if there is no place to put them.

You can also adjust road curvature by holding the CTRL button and scrolling the mouse scroll button. Turning this setting to the left side of the bar will make roads linear and without any curves. However, if you increase the mark to the right side of the bar, curvature in road placement increases.

How To Delete Roads

As you progress and make your settlement grow from a small town to a large town, creating the best city layout will need some redesigning. Deleting some early-game roads will be a good startto redoing the layout and making it more connected.

To delete roads, press and hold the ALT button on the keyboard and click the left mouse button on any road you have placed already. This action will prompt a road deletion box on the screen, allowing you to completely remove a road.

Pressing the mentioned button combinations will remove any two road points, no matter the overall length of the road.
