In the more demanding Restoring the Peace scenario which has all three types of enemies present on the map I recommend starting a few times over, recording each start as a separate save file and choosing the most convenient start as the one for your playthrough.
Now what makes a convenient start? Well that is a start in one of the map regions where you have ample food sources close to your starting location with resources which you need later on in a playthrough farther from your initial village location.
There is a special marking on resource locations, the small crown above their icon which marks them as rich deposits. This means the amount found there is above standard, usually double. So to be able to avoid two of the biggest pitfalls of Manor Lords gameplay, which are lack of food and lack of money, your best bet is to start in a region which has a rich deposit of berries, close to your starting position.
This advantage can be very quickly multiplied by a factor of two, once you reach the first settlement milestone and gain a village development point. Because once you invest that point into forest management you double the capacity of berry deposits, getting that rich berry source up to 256, and when you learn that it regrows actively during spring, it means you can harvest over 300 barriers during the first year.
These barriers can be sold for a great sum per unit at the local trader building which you have to construct and operate, and considering how easy it is to harvest them it is an amazing way to make easy money. This money is key for purchasing new animals like oxen and horses which are the backbone of your local workforce. This is another major pitfall of Manor Lords gameplay and an additional reason why this is a great way to start as you solve many future problems at once.
With just 8 timber to begin with, building choices are limited, and also of important note the supplies, like bread, firewood and tools are left out in the open and in danger of being destroyed by bad weather.
This means you have to quickly construct a storehouse and a granary to keep these supplies safe. But on the other hand if you leave your villagers homeless for a long time, your approval rating will suffer, due to negative homeless traits. From my experience it is better to give the people a roof over their heads first, and then take care of the supplies as you probably won’t get bad weather in the first month or two.
