Greetings, Settlers!

Thank you for your feedback and support — it really means a lot to us! You will find a number of fixes and improvements based on your comments in this update. Please see below for the full list of changes.

⚙️ Gameplay Fixes

• A notification for settlers fleeing from mobs now appears as a blinking icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Clicking the notification automatically selects the corresponding settler.
  
• Settlers will now only flee from enemies if the latter are actively attacking someone.
  
• New game settings have been added: max combat speed and melee-only slow motion toggle.

⚙️ Game Balance

• Settlers' movement speed increased by 80%.
  
• Movement speed bonus from roads reduced from 110% to 50%.
  
• Settlers now slow down when carrying any load, and the slowdown effect depends on the type of cargo.
  
• Enemy activity timeframes changed: they will now only attack the settlement at night, from 00:10 until 06:00, in-game time.
  
• The mobs' "help radius" reduced from 52 to 32.
  
• Enemy vision radius has been slightly increased so that it can reach the center of large buildings.
  
• Sunlight no longer kills ghouls instantly — they now take 20% health damage per second when exposed to it.
  
• The "Inner Fire" spell now restores settlers' fatigue.
  
• Nightmares can now possess Leshy as well as any animals except rabbits. Nightmare Lairs can no longer be destroyed with spells.

• The cooldown for the "Summon Bear" spell used by the Bandit Summoner increased to 90 in-game minutes.
  
• The Summoned Bear's maximum lifespan is now limited to 90 in-game minutes. This prevents infinite settlement attacks by a single Summoned Bear.

• Fixed the incorrect display of some icons.
  
• Fixed the "Witcher" achievement.
  
• Fixed the "Advanced Level" achievement (now correctly granted before the 4th day of summer).
  
• Fixed a bug where warriors could stop attacking their enemies.
  
• Fixed a bug where mages could damage allies when using skills.
  
• Fixed a bug that reset camera speed to 0 when reopening the settings window.
  
• Fixed duplicate visual effects on warriors after loading a save, which caused excessive visual stacking.

• Fixed several bugs with the resource counter.
  
• Fixed issues with how certain menus were displayed.
  
• Implemented various localization improvements.
