Level 2 Upgrade Requirements

Make sure that these buildings are connected to your Burgage Plots via a Road so that they can supply the necessary resources.

Do note that you don't need all three types of Clothing to upgrade a Burgage Plot to Level 2. Just have at least one type of Linen, Leather, or Yarn Clothing Stall.

Gain 1 Regional Wealth Per Family, Per Month Plus Artisan Extensions

Upgrading a Burgage Plot to Level 2 will allow you to passively gain 1 Regional Wealth for each family within the lot per month.

You also unlock the option to add Artisan Extensions to make the families within the Burgage Plots Artisans. However, keep in mind that this option is permanent and any families in this plot cannot be assigned to anything else.

How to Use Burgage Plots

Construct Burgage Plots For Homeless Families and Settlers

Burgage Plots are the residential units in Manor Lords. Building Burgage Plots will help you get rid of homelessness and increase your population. Take note that Families will only join in Burgage Plots if there are unused living spaces in the structures, and your approval is high.

A Burgage Plot provides at least 1 living space for any family living in your settlement. If a Burgage Plot can be expanded but not to the point of adding another Burgage Plot, then the structure can simply be augmented to accommodate an additional 1 living space at the cost of 2 Timbers.

Burgage Plots Generate Regional Wealth

In addition to providing housing for your families, Burgage Plots also passively generate a small amount of regional wealth. However, you will need to level up the Burgage Plot to Level 2 first before it starts passively gaining regional wealth.

How to Get Regional Wealth

Build Backyard Extensions in Your Burgage Plots

If you plot your Burgage Plots large enough, you can add Backyard Extensions. These extensions can provide your settlement more resources which you can use or trade away.

Select an Area and Build your Burgage Plot

Select an area in your settlement to plot your structure and decide what area points will encompass your Burgage Plots. They have flexible borders and you can plot multiple Burgage Plots in one go.

Backyard Extensions or Living Space Expansions are Determined by Plot Size

Depending on how large you plot out the size of your Burgage Plot will determine if you can add Backyard Extensions or expand living space in it. This can easily be seen once you reduce your Burgage Plot division.

Rotate Burgage Plot, and Add or Reduce Division

Before starting construction,you have the option to rotate the plot, as well as adding or reducing plot divisions. Look for the rotating arrow and the + and - options beside the Hammer (construct) button.

Once you've started construction, you can also set your Burgage Plots’ construction priority.

Burgage Plot Construction Requirements
2 Timber

Burgage Plots are Level 1 by default, but can be increased to Level 2 if requirements are met. These requirements include settlement levels, construction materials, amenities, market supplies, and regional wealth.
