Upcoming Content and a small patch [Updated]
Update postponed to the end of March, mid April!
My fellow Village Elders,
By the end of this month March, i am planning to add more content, after adding the school and the cemetery in December.
The main feature will be the introduction of the need for entertainment and a few buildings, starting with the Tavern and all the production chain to produce beer and wine.
Every few season or so, your villagers will need some form or entertainment and without it, their work speed and quality will be reduced, get some bad traits (yes traits are coming), and other effects and events.
Beside the entertainment, two major buildings will be introduced, and they will become the main goals of the game. It will take time and lots of resources to build one of them, but once built, you will win the game and turn your village into a marvelous town of commerce, knowledge and/or spirituality.
A 2.96:
- removed the winter event
- misc bug fixes and performance improvements
As always, thank you for your support and see you soon:)
