AI will now avoid building hunting shacks near civic buildings and houses.
Better combat retargeting to prevent people running past each other.

New
Added in wooden pegs, which can be used in place of nails and made at home. however it takes double the wooden pegs vs nails to do the same thing.
Added Trading Post Interior (visual, not functional).
“Tell me about your friends” added as a conversation option that will introduce you to their friends.
Workers lodgings added. A new building that can be built on a large plot. It has 9 beds and if you build some, your workers will automatically move into the one closest to their job if it has space, and if they don’t have a better house. They don’t pay rent. You can provide them food, medicine, etc with the lodgings. Lodgings also count as housing for immigrants, if the person who owns the lodging also has jobs available.
New setting in gameplay settings that when turned off will mean the player won’t move without being selected.
You will now drop items on ground when inventory is full during harvesting. Items can also now be foraged directly into a nearby cart - dropped items can be picked up by ai characters.
Added Warden’s Yard which can help put out fires. It is a civic building that can hire one employee. That employee is tasked with making sure the water cart is loaded and ready to go. When a fire breaks out the brave Ox will cart the water to the fire and spill it onto it. It will then return home where the employee will refill it. Refills only happen during work hours. If there is no employee there are no refills. You can build multiple of these buildings, but you cannot own them.
A new map - Scrobbesbyrig - This is not the final new map I have been talking about. This was a bonus map based on a dream I had. Basically it is a map with one large walled city, situated in the bend of a river. The river as Trading Dock access. This city is by far the biggest city in the game.
Added a new type of raider, that are visually different and come with bows. These Welsh raiders will invade the new map, and the other map that is still under construction. No vikings on these two maps.
Trading Post - you can now adjust the margin of products you sell.
Trading Posts now generate their own prices, instead of using the closest market, and now function more like a true market. You can buy from AI Trading Posts, if they are manned, but cannot sell to them.
As always, it is an absolute joy to be able to continue producing updates. Please feel free to get in touch with me via Steam, Discord, or email, if you wanna chat.Much love,Atorcoppe.
