Patch #5 (stability, balance, improvements)
A new day, a new patch! This time there are no dramatic changes, but many fixes for annoying bugs and crashes. The long-awaited changes to the mechanics of titles and peasant labor after the instruction period are already being tested and will be delivered within a few days -- we've gotten a lot of feedback from the steam forums and discord on those and changes are coming.

Medieval kingdom building sim Norland off to strong player count start
Last week, Hooded Horse launched yet another new title, medieval simulation game Norland, into Steam Early Access. While it's not quite blown up to the same levels as its enormous hit Manor Lords, the publisher will be pleased to see that Norland has enjoyed a decent opening weekend when it comes to player counts and Steam reviews - although, some fans of close cousins like Rimworld are finding some pain points.

- Fixed a bug where the fleshwolves in the prophecy of the fleshwolf attack would attack individually instead of in groups, making it difficult to fight them, and the player's squads would not react to them until the moment of collision.
- Fixed a bug where fleshwolves could start bandaging their wounds, causing their AI to freeze.
[h3]Stability[/h3]
- Fixed a crash when loading social thoughts if they were corrupted during saving.
