Hello Everyone!

Following your diverse feedback on the Clan of the Turtle, here is the first balancing update on it.
We get that right now, the clan is in an odd position. Many of its aspects seem weak, while its support capacity looks too strong to many of you. There are some aspects of the clan that lack clarity.
With this patch, we’ve tried to address as many issues as possible, giving the clan more capacity to sustain itself while reducing the impact it has on team games.

Balancing

Start-with

• Impact of Happiness on villagers price decrease has been increased. (ie: overall villagers cost less and arrive faster, also Happiness gains like breweries and such are more interesting for the clan)
  
  • Note: As mentioned in the start-with of the clan, both Happiness and Pop-growth speed already impacted the price reduction of new villagers. We hope this increase will make it felt.
  
  
• We’re considering making it clearer with signs in-game, but the effects are already applied.
  
  
• Shopkeepers now passively produce +0.25 Kröwns when assigned to Caravans from the start. (instead of with Fame 200)

Warchief

• Njörd recruitment price is now of 200 Kröwns and no Iron. (150 Kröwns + 5 Iron before)
  
• Njörd movespeed has been reduced a bit.

Knowledge

• Assets Export
  
  • Knowledge has been reworked
    
  • Shopkeepers can now send ⅔ of the resources they produce through a gift-route.
    
  • This gift-route works as usual, clans or factions relation receive the totality of resources sent, and gain relations based on this amount.
    
  • While they send resources, Shopkeepers no longer produce Kröwns.
    
  • The fact the Caravan is damaged or not no longer has an impact on the gift-route.

Fame

• Fame 200
  
  • Shopkeepers no longer gain a passive kröwns production (as this is now a start-with)

Relic

• Added a cooldown of 1 month on relation sales

UI

• Made Njord price cut a passive ability, making it easier to find information on it.
  
• Njord price cut effect on the buildings has been reworked
  
• Added a tooltip on villager recruitement button displaying how long it will take before the villager "natural" arrival

To be added

• Add a pre-visulalisation of where caravans are gonna deploy
  
• Adjustments to the clan balance and features based on players feedback.
