Version 1.3.2 released
Mon, 28 October 2019

In this update we've made some changes to the AI, in order to make it cope better with high workload situations.

Managing the workload of your settlement is still important in order for people to prioritize tasks correctly, but now this should never result in people dying of starvation or dehydration.

AI changes

- For any task to be assigned to a human, they have to have at least 50% hydration (this could be 25% before in some cases).
- Most non-food related tasks, can now only be assigned to a human when they have at least 50% nutrition.
- If someone is crafting a non-food item, and their nutrition or hydration go too low, they will abort.
- There are a few more situations where people will abort what they are doing if they are low on hydration or nutrition.
- When cutting down trees using a Sledge/Cart the resulting logs will always be placed in the transport and not the person's inventory.
- Collect tannin and flax tasks now have the same priority as all other non-food related collection tasks (before their priority was the same as of food tasks, which was higher).

Misc

- Fixed typo in the "Resource has decayed" French text
- Fixed a couple of rare crashes
- Fixed bug which would allow the player to place the second variant of the tent in an isolated location, causing different issues
- When the game fails to open the profile or settings files, it now gives a more helpful error

Version 1.5.1 released
Mon, 18 May 2020



This version improves a few game elements, based on the recent feedback from our community.
Thanks everyone for helping make the game better!

Balance Changes
- Donkeys and Horses will usually now spend 3 game years as adults and 1 as old (before it was 2/2). This will bring up their reproduction rate to the same level as cattle.

AI Changes
- Domestic animals escape from raiders when not sheltered, even before being attacked.
- People will now build structures even if very hungry when there is no food available, this can easily happen in Nomad mode.

Quality of Life
- "No space in stables" warning is now only shown in Autumn or Winter.

Modding fixes
- When two scenarios use the same string ID, the game will now display a very obvious warning at startup.
- Fixed crash when spawning items for humans in scenarios and there is no space to put them.

General Fixes
- Iron Sword now uppercase like the rest of the tool names.
- Improved appearance of "Requires Tech" tooltip for context actions.
- Fixed issue of animals/humans using the wrong idle animation when switching model (this is triggered by switching Age or outfit).
- Fixed issue that could cause 2 trees to grow in the same place sometimes.

Let us know about any further feedback you might have in our forums!

Armor Update Work in Progress
Wed, 10 June 2020


Hello Everyone,

We are currently working on a new update, this will be version 1.6 and will focus on Armor.
You can get more detailed info in our devlog, but these are the highlights.

Armor
You can now make armor in the game that your people will wear when the alert is triggered.
It comes in two variants:
Leather Armor. A basic protective armor made of leather, offers reasonable protection.
Mail Armor. A more advanced form of armor, made of iron rings, offers better protection.



Armorer
Structure that produces Leather and Mail Armor, we've also moved the shield manufacturing here, which was in the Workshop previously.



New Techs
New techs Armor, Mail and Reinforced Shields, required for Leather Armor, Mail Armor and Oval Shields.

Combat Improvements
•   It is now possible to edit the position at which people gather behind the gates when the alert is on.
•   In the Bronze and Iron Ages, raiders don't immediately acquire all techs in the era, but they do it progressively with each attack wave.
•   There is now an option in the defense panel to customize the amount of men and women that will use melee weapons in combat.
•   People will now upgrade their weapons from slings to bows if available.
•   Weapons that raiders drop when dead now have random condition instead of 100%
•   Added some old raiders, and slightly increased the proportion of males that come to attack.
•   Clothing now decays when absorbing combat damage, the damage that is saved is instead taken by the clothing.
•   Stamina decay rate is now cut in half when the alert is on. This affects all humans, including raiders.
•   Slings can now be sold for their full value up to the Neolithic only (down from the Copper Age).

General Improvements

New Adult Percentage Resource Limits
•   It is now possible to set a resource limit to a percentage of the adults in the settlement.
•   This is now the default for tools, shields and armor, as children can not use them.
•   Improved tooltips for all resource limits, to make everything more clear.
•   Added 33% resource limit


Improved Meat, Bones and Raw Skins limit behavior
•   Butchering tasks for hunted or slaughtered animals will now only get auto-generated if any of Meat, Bone or Raw Skins are under the limits.
•   In auto generated butchering tasks (after hunting or slaughtering), people will not extract resources that are over the limits.
•   Meat limit is now set to infinity by default (it was 30 before).
•   Raw Skins limit is now set to 40 by default (it was 10 before).
•   Bones limit is now set to 20 by default (it was 10 before).
•   These changes do not affect manual butcher tasks (created by right clicking or using the context actions), these always extract all resources from the animal.

Improved Direct Commands behavior
When a person is given a direct command to move somewhere (by right clicking on the ground), they will stay there and:
•   They won't go to their usual combat positions. This is useful when the enemies are attacking if you want to station a bunch of people somewhere instead of in the default positions.
•   They won't wander around town.
•   For a while, they won't go and get any weapons or armor.
•   For a while, they won't go to rest.
•   For a while, they won't get assigned any tasks.
•   For a while, they won't go store any resources.
The idea behind these changes is that you get more control over what people do, but eventually they will do what they need to do to survive.

Pathfinding improvements
•   Humans will retry with higher accuracy if they can't find a suitable path to the destination.
•   Beings prefer to walk on even terrain.
•   Beings try harder to cross by a nearby ford instead of swimming.

Misc
•   New loading screen for the Ancient Warriors scenario.
•   Slightly increased population limit.
•   Domestic Animals will now prefer to wander around stables.
•   People now prefer to wear outfits that are in better condition.
•   Workload calculations now count kids as half an adult.
•   You can now select a loaded person and right click on a storage structure to tell them to unload there.
•   Added Elasmotherium, Hyena, long haired woman and old man to intro screen.
