Disasters - Update V0.6.8 Update Notes

The V0.6.8 update introduces the Plague and Earthquake disasters to the game.

What's New?


  • Earthquake: Earthquakes occur every 10-15 years by default, with magnitudes ranging between 6 and 7.5 Mw. They strike randomly and damage buildings in the affected area. The earthquake's magnitude determines the level of damage and the size of the impact zone. Villagers inside collapsed buildings have roughly a 50% chance of either dying or getting injured. Damaged buildings are repaired by builders without requiring additional resources.
  • Plague: The plague outbreak occurs roughly every 10-15 years by default. It starts by infecting a few villagers and spreads to others in their homes and workplaces. As a result, its spread is highly random. Generally, the plague can infect between one-third and half of the population, with approximately 10% of the adult population dying on average. Villagers affected by the plague will slowly lose health. However, villagers receiving treatment at the Healer's Hut will not lose health. Similarly, military units behave as if they are receiving treatment. Plague-infected villagers cannot work, causing a loss in workforce productivity.
  • Polish Translation: Thanks to the efforts of our friend Damian Bartyś (Lisek), the Polish translation has been added to the game. We hope our Polish players will enjoy the game even more now!

This update marks the final content update leading up to the full version of the game. The next update will focus on introducing winter clothing for villagers and improving mountain models, alongside visual enhancements.

Wishing everyone a Happy New Year!
