The Rise of Cuntz
Manor Lords, developed by Grzegorz Styczeń, prides itself on historical accuracy, including names derived from a 14th century census. Among these names is Cuntz, a moniker that has unexpectedly become a focal point in the game. Players have embraced Cuntz as a humorous addition to their virtual villages, often sharing anecdotes and memes featuring this character across social media platforms and gaming forums.
Despite its popularity, not everyone in the Manor Lords community has welcomed Cuntz with open arms. Concerns have been raised about the name's appropriateness and its potential to detract from the game's immersive medieval atmosphere.
Community Poll: Should Cuntz Stay or Go?
Recently, a poll conducted on the Manor Lords Discord by the game's developers sought to gauge player sentiment regarding Cuntz's name. The poll offered an alternative name, Konrad, as a potential replacement to address concerns about the name's disruptive nature.
Surprisingly, the majority of players expressed a strong preference to retain Cuntz. With over 8,000 votes cast, a significant 85% of players voted in favor of keeping the controversial name, while only 15% supported replacing it with Konrad or another less provocative option.
"I'm happy with the result-my Cuntz is a gravedigger, and I'd hate to see him be metaphorically buried along with all the other corpses," remarked one player, reflecting the sentiment of many who find humor and attachment in the character's unconventional name.
Player Preferences in Manor Lords
Beyond the Cuntz controversy, Manor Lords players continue to shape the game's development through community feedback. A recent poll on crop storage methods has highlighted players' interest in implementing dedicated storage spaces such as barns for crops like barley and flax. This preference is expected to influence upcoming game updates, demonstrating the community's active role in shaping the game's evolving features.
