Comments

While managing the needs of your citizens in Manor Lords, you could also start filling your coffers. The more money you amass, the more goodies you can buy. Here's our guide on how to increase Regional Wealth and Treasury in Manor Lords.

How to increase Regional Wealth and Treasury in Manor Lords

Regional Wealth and Treasury both refer to money obtained in-game. However, they have very different uses and acquisition methods.

What is Regional Wealth and how do you gain more of it?

Regional Wealth refers to the collective "value" of your settlement. Initially, this is generated by each individual Burgage Plot (i.e. residential housing/lot):

  • Burgage Plots that are only level 1 do not generate Regional Wealth.
  • Burgage Plots that are level 2 earn +1 Regional Wealth each month.
  • And, upon having Burgage Plots that are level 3, these will churn out +2 Regional Wealth per month.

To increase Regional Wealth in Manor Lords, you should also consider using Trading Posts. These buildings allow you to export surplus goods to earn additional Regional Wealth. We don't recommend importing goods early on due to the costs of items. In any case, you can learn more about these concepts in our town/housing upgrades guide and our Trading Posts guide.

What is Treasury and how do you gain more of it?

The Treasury is yet another facet to keep in mind during your playthrough. Think of this as your character's personal coffers. The resource is primarily earned once you've constructed your Manor, which requires:

  • Upgrade your settlement into a Small Village.
  • The Manor's construction costs 5x timber, 20x planks, and 15x stone.

Once built, you can change the taxation level for your settlement, but this has the adverse effect of lowering the approval of your citizens. The Treasury resource can then be used to settle new regions or to hire retinues/mercenaries.

Lastly, there might be instances when you come across bandit camps during your playthrough. Bring your army to defeat the hostiles, then destroy the bandit camp for good measure. You're then given two choices:

  • Sending the resources to the nearest town increases Regional Wealth.
