The secret to a wood-only Manor Lords run is tax avoidance and lying to your villagers

Manor Lords.

My people are cold and hungry and as far as I can tell, they don't seem too happy to be part of my grand experiment. I'm trying to prove it's possible to complete Manor Lords by harvesting only one resource: wood. That means no farms, no chicken coops, or vegetable gardens. Nor any iron mines, clay pits, or stone quarries. I'm not even collecting firewood. 

However, rather than excitement at the prospect of proving you can lean on this medieval city builder's trade network to source everything you need to grow a thriving town, my people’s morale is worryingly low. They may have heard that my previous efforts have twice ended in ghost towns of starved bodies and bandit-burned buildings, but progress demands sacrifice.
