Thanks!

Hello all!
Just doing a minor update (I'm still working on some surprises for the future!) but I thought it could be fun to do an unusual village competition!

As you well know, Kainga is a pretty weird game, so let's celebrate that weirdness with a competition! I've spiced up this post with some past creative examples for a bit of inspiration. I'm excited to see what you come up with!

[h2]Competition Ground Rules:[/h2]

2. You can use any map, any Thinker, any technology!
   
3. You can submit more than one village!
   
4. It would be nice if you named the town as well

[h2]Tips for Taking Good Screenshots[/h2]

1. In game, press "V" to remove the hud for a seamless image
   
2. Use the mouse wheel click to get a lower angle that looks really nice!
   
3. Holding CTRL will allow you to move the camera without it automatically changing its height
   
4. Take a picture of the village's most interesting part! Not the widest shot :)
