What is holding your town back?

Check your supplies, production and wealth in the game before making a large change.

Your next move

Check living space and approval

Look at the population bar for an empty living space.
Check the approval shown at the top of the screen.
Use the two-reading check below to find the first obstacle.

Check approval and housing below →

Check it worked: The missing housing or approval need is clear, then an arrival can happen after a monthly check.

No new families arriving?

Example: 50% approval with a free home. Enter the approval and housing you see in your town.

Approval shown at the top

Free living space?

A free Burgage living space and approval both matter. Check the population bar for housing capacity.

For the values shown

Raise approval above 54%

Fix red Burgage Plot needs, especially market food and clothing delivery or church access, then check approval again.

The approval entered is in the Respected range. Other game conditions can affect when a family moves in.

Check it worked: The population panel shows an arrival after the next monthly check, or the missing housing or approval need becomes clear.

QUICK ANSWER

Why is my Manor Lords town not growing?

Start with the problem you can see. For new families, check free living space and approval; for an empty market stall, trace an existing good from storage to the stall. The choice above gives you the first check for each common town problem.

What to check after the fix

After the fix, watch the affected home, building or population reading. A new family is checked at the next monthly arrival opportunity.
