Once you've gained enough resources and built a Manor in your settlement, you will be able to enact Policies under the Policies Tab in your Main Menu.

How to Build and Use the Manor House

How to Use Policies

Select Policies to Enact in Main Menu

Manor Lords - Policies Menu

After you've built the Manor in your settlement, access the main menu and choose the Policies tab between Development and Production. You will be able to see the list of all Policies in the game, with most being locked in early access.

You will also notice that there are 4 rows of policies under the Policies tab. Each row signifies an Administrative Level, and you'll eventually gain access to all 4 Administrative Levels once you've made enough progress in the game.

Once you've chosen a policy to enact, click the icon for it and notice a checkmark appearing below the icon. The checkmark indicates that the policy is currently being enacted in your settlement.

How to Turn Off Policies

If you wish to turn off the policy you've signed, simply click the policy again. This will allow you to undo policies that don't suit your needs to greatly improve your settlement.

Specific to Regions

Similar to developments, policies only take effect in the selected region. You'll also need to build Manors in other settlements to use a policy for those regions.

What Are Policies?

Enacted Guidelines of Settlements

Policies are guidelines that can be signed by hovering over the Settlement Name and opening up the menu.

These policies will decide the course of action for your chosen settlement and its citizenry, giving you more options in controlling your regions.

Uses of Policies

Increase Settlement Efficiency

Policies can give you short-term benefits with certain drawbacks. Some useful policies can help you maintain or increase your overall resources.

Do note that not all policies are meant to improve the quality of life for all those living in settlements, as other policies might impose less food consumption at the cost of earning disapproval from your citizenry.
