Update 0.6.0 - City Building
[h2]Northernfolk![/h2]
Winter is coming. As in - it's almost here. Wouldn't it be nice for the entire clan to gather up around the hearth fire in a newly-upgraded town hall, sip some mead, and listen to the Housecarl as they tell the stories of great battles of the past, and fantastic sagas of long-gone heroes, now only remembered by their burial mounds? Well, now your Vikings can do all that, and you should hope this makes them happy. Introducing, the City Building update. See for yourself:

The highlight of the update is the new Clan Support Mechanics. Your people will now react to your actions in a more direct way - you'll have to provide food to your people, social buildings near households and proper funeral for the fallen warriors, otherwise, the discontent will rise among your people and you will start to receive punishments for insufficient village management.
Each discontent tier comes with more frequent punishments, adding a new tier to the management gameplay depth. Building the newly included inns and burial mounds that provide entertainment and an outlet for your peoples' spirituality are just one way of making sure you don't lose the clan's support.
