Hello villagers!

I've been working on some fixes for Kainga (full changelog at the bottom) and I thought I'd slip in something I've been working on and very excited about as well!





Have you ever wondered why the 8th Thinker, Serrano, doesn't show up in the other towns in the belowlands?

Well that's because he normally doesn't participate in the Thinker's games, and instead focuses on necromancy and resurrecting the dead!



You may now notice the "Necromancer's Tower" map modifier and see Serrano in his tower somewhere on the map, calling the dead to him during both day and night!

I plan on continuing to add new modifiers in the future, so if you have any good ideas, post them in the comments below or on Discord!





At the beginning of October, we hosted an "unusual village competition" and I had a lot of good submissions from a lot of people, but by far the most unusual, and the winner, was the one below:



It was definitely unusual and the creator, OriginalFireup said it took about 5 hours, and calls it THE KAINGA SIGN CITY. OriginalFireup has made some of the most impressive cities (and yes, I intentionally called them cities instead of towns) I've seen in Kainga, so I think the reward of a Kainga Collector's Edition:

I tried making my own unusual villages during a livestream while interviewing Drummond of Somepoint Sound, the musician of Kainga, as well as answering some questions from the community on Kainga's game design choices.
