The On the Edge scenario gives you a limited time (one year) to build defenses against enemies while trying to reach the highest level of development of your city. In addition to managing resources and infrastructure, you must deal with raiders who can burn your settlement to the ground.
How to Deal with the Ruthless Marauders | Manor Lords: On the Edge
To survive raids in Manor Lords, you need to plan your economy and focus on trade. But not all areas are the same; depending on the fertility of the land and the availability of resources, you will have to choose between animal husbandry and agriculture. It is crucial to build your city near resources and the main road, because trade is crucial for the fast development of your city.
While these steps are the same for all scenarios, in On the Edge you'll be confronted with other lords and plunderers, making city building even more challenging.
Follow our building order guide to solve the basic needs of your villagers and prepare for more complex activities. Since you have no time to waste, you can upgrade your settlement to a village by building five Burgage Plots (houses). Planning is essential, so leave a spot for a church, tavern and market so that they are in the same "neighborhood".
