InManor Lords, you task your people with building and growing a community that welcomes more people. If your settlement has plenty of burgages, food, clothing, a church, and maybe a tavern to drink at night, more people would want to live there.
However, food is a critical resource that must be stocked in surplus. If not, your community will slack off from tasks, catch a disease, and die. Even if you have less food to feed families, you may cure them of diseases via herbs. This guide explains how to get herbs and keep your community healthy.
