It doesn't handle special resources well like say a copper mine, or a mill. It also doesn't handle the economics of towns and cities very well. But for the village manor it is superb.

It also standalone, and comes with four worked examples of different Manor. You can also use it to generate Manors of standard sizes for world building. I did this for my Majestic Wilderlands Campaign. I started at 1,000 acres and make a worksheet for each manor size up to 5,000 acres. So I know how much money they made for their lords, how much scutage they gave. And various other economic information. Then when I generated the regional data I calculated based on how many of each size of manor was present.
