Bandits are never good in any setting and can be devastating in Manor Lords. They can attack your villages or raid your city for supplies. Luckily, there is a way to eliminate and disable them before you start a game.

There are a few settings you should turn on before you set up your map and decide how you’re going to play. If you don’t have these settings right in Manor Lords, bandits will continue to be a problem until you have every region under control and have completely wiped out their camps with your militia. Once you have these few settings down, bandits will be a thing of the past and you won’t have to worry about your supplies running low due to their raids.

You can disable bandits before starting your Manor Lords game by going into the Template Difficulty menu when you first set up the game and going to the Raid frequency choice. From there, set this to none, set the Initial bandit camps to none, and set the Random bandit camp spawn limit to zero. After making sure these three settings are disabled, bandits should not spawn during your Manor Lords game.

Setting these settings to their lowest choices will remove bandits from your game, and you shouldn’t have to deal with them during your campaign. The most important one is to make sure you turn Raid Frequency off, but you can still spawn bandit camps if you want to remove them from the map and gain Influence to expand your territory. Aside from getting it from the church, eliminating bandit camps and winning fights is a good way to get it.
