Land of the Vikings: Spring Update

[h2][h3]Greetings Jarls,[/h3]

Spring equinox is behind us and the sun is shining down on our settlements. As promised last week, we just released a brand-new update for Land of the Vikings, addressing some of the issues you highlighted over the past few months – from bug fixes to brand-new features.

First of all, a critical issue that previously prevented the game from launching has been resolved. If you continue to run into this bug, please report it to us on Steam or Discord.

Additionally, we have added a new "Return to Longhouse" button in the bottom-left menu, enabling you to quickly return to the village center with just one click or by pressing the ‘M’ key.



We’ve improved the Thrall notification system! Notifications related to thralls will no longer appear when there are none in your colony, streamlining your gameplay. To improve usability of workers in general, the worker selection pop-up window has been expanded, making it easier to manage your resources.



We have made adjustments to disaster balancing, modifying the impact and frequency of disasters for a more enjoyable gameplay experience. We also addressed happiness issues that emerged as the population grew, ensuring a more stable environment for your villagers.

That’s it for today’s update. We hope these changes and fixes will make running your Viking village feel even smoother than before.

What change are you most excited about?

Skál!
