Fix for crash related to some Modded Races Kingdom-Crier #16: Wolves and Ranching!
Content Update #14: Wolves
Wolves are searching the lands of Noberia for food!
Pack Hunters, they'll call groups into action to attack their target.
Be careful, or you may find an outnumbered Mortal in their sights.
Taming them can be tricky, but we're sure you'll figure it out!
When tamed, they can act as a great scout or first line of defense, but make sure you keep them fed.
Ranching Updates
In addition, we added support for specifying the Animal Types allowed per pasture and improved behavior around Raiders attacking tames.
In addition, tames will eat from stockpiles that contain the appropriate food in their pasture.

Mod Contest #2
We're excited to announce the winners of the Noble Fates Mod Contest #2.
Without further ado....
1st Place
KArtistry by Karma Drak
Karma is unstoppable. Just when they thought they might have ran out of ideas, they put this mod together with the largest breadth of content to date!
Insane.
2nd Place
Initial Nobles by MrPurple6411
MrPurple stood up a multitude of deep, code based mods that will form the basis of a bright future for Modding Nobles Fates.
The one that stands out to us, however, is Initial Nobles. It started out as a way to bypass portions of the intro, but it's growing into a starting scenario editor!
It's very much a work in progress, but tackling the biggest Community ask is more than enough to earn this one a spot on the list and our gratitude!
3rd Place
Stone Church Windows by dpahfl
What this mod lacks in breadth, it more than makes up for in charm.
Dpahfl is one of the most active Noble Fates players and much like Karma, their dip into the world of modding appears to have come out of a desire to better express themselves in-game.
Not only did dpahfl release these charming Windows, but they put them to use in a series of Screenshots that really capture the essence of the Love & Elves Update and nearly placed in the Screenshot contest themselves!
Congrats everyone!

Screenshot Contest #2
Great entries, here are the winners:
1st Place
Sphere City by TheSaucyFleet
TheSaucyFleet did it again! This time with an epic feat of architecture and ingenuity that puts the vertical levels to use!
Bonus behind the scenes shots...
So many resources!
2nd Place
Village by cypr`
A prominent player, cypr` is often pushing the bounds of what can be done with Noble Fates.
They've built a number of the largest Kingdoms we've seen, producing inspiring shots that capture our attention with the fine detailing.
3rd Place
Winter by Finnley
Winter is too cool to let this one go by. Fantastic Kingdom and shot by Finnley!
Congrats to the winners, and thanks to everyone who participated!
Weekly Screenshot Theme
With this contest, we introduced the concept a Weekly Screenshot Theme over on the Noble Fates Discord to inspire people to capture something new. Though the contest is over, the themes will continue!
