SAELIG News

Greetings!

I'm back for more. This time it is just a few small requests and fixes that have come up in the last couple days.

• Fixed an issue where dog commands would sometimes be greyed out if you also had a Den.
  
• Changed it so when kids become adults they retain all the money they had earned up until that point.
  
• Prevented some cows from trying to take over a particular plot of land.
  
• When restocking inventories, they will now be sorted into alphabetical and numerical order.
  
• When opening the pause menu while the map is open, the map UI will now be hidden instead of sitting on top of the pause menu.
  

Cheers,
Atorcoppe.

Greetings!

I've come back from a little holiday and have gone straight back to work. So here is a small update that fixes a couple things and improves loading times.

• Fixed inventory stacking not working properly in some cases.
  
• The character creator story panel has been adjusted slightly to work better on different aspect ratios.
  
• Pack unequip confirm UI has been updated.
  
• Loading time optimisations for creating new games and loading into existing save games. In some situations you may improvements of 20 to 30 seconds.
  
• The game will now decide what kind of family to spawn (rich or poor) based on how many free workers there are in the game. So the less free workers there are, the morel likely the game is to spawn a poor family.
  
• Fixed a major issue where starting a new game as a woman on some computers would not work properly.
  

Lots more to come. I'm continuing to work on further loading optimisations, as well as performance optimisations.

Cheers,

• Each boat you build at your Fishing Dock will now increase the inventory of the Fishing Dock.
  
• Some slight UI tweaks.
  
• When creating your character you can now tab between first and last names.
  
• Some Linux fixes, including upside down map during character creation.
  
• Made it so you cannot hire yourself or rent a house to yourself.
  
• Rare and very rare production events are now less likely to happen multiple times a day.
  
• Your productions will no longer reset after Vikings are defeated or leave.
  
• Corrected some tutorial issues.
  
• Some notification tweaks.

• Fixed an issue where the new family notification would incorrectly assume the wealth of said family.
  

I’ll be taking my laptop away with me so can dial into my workstation and do any work on SAELIG if needed. I’ll also still be free to support any issues that pop up for anyone.

Thank you for all your support!

Greetings!

Firstly, thank you to everyone who has helped me test this update. Much appreciated as always. Thank you to everyone for the continued support and kind words.


NEW:

• Herbal Broth as been added. Cures violent illness, like Herbal Tea. Uses vegetables.
  
• Land tax - each plot that you own now has a tax. Tax is paid at 1am. If you cannot pay tax you will eventually be visited by Stan The Tax Man who will give you some options for paying off the tax. Tax values are controlled by the ini file. Reeve and Abbot do not pay tax.
  
• New conversations.
  
• Screen calibration scene that allows you to tweak colours and brightness.
  
• Two new achievements.
  
• Rebuilt the input method in the game. Keys should now be more reliable when the game is paused. Now has native controller support.
  
• You can now transfer carts between buildings.
  
• If you build your own campfire you can now use that as a place to butcher animals. Great for those homeless hunters.
  
• Automation - Added the option to send goods to a specific building.
  
• Pet dogs can be purchased from the horse breeder. They can be used to guard carts and buildings from thugs and foxes.
  
• Arrange marriages for your children.
  
• Thegn position added which is a title given by the King when you build up standing with him. Thegns and family members of Thegns will have the Thegncynn social class. This is now the highest class. Geneat now is capped at 18 properties by default, to get more you need to become a Thegn. Thegns don’t pay land tax and are immune to laws. However if you get caught committing crimes then your standing with the King will decrease. If it is decreased too much you will lose the title. If you have more than 18 properties in your existing games, you will not lose them. However you won't be able to buy additional until you get to the rank of Thegn.
  
• New production events.
  
• Trade routes can now be setup using the pony and ox carts at Sheds and Trading Posts once you have the Cart Logistics upgrade. This allows you to fully automate the transportation of your goods around the map.

• Tweaks to moonlight.
  
• Tweak to logic for AI building mines.
  
• Ultra-wide biggest UI tweaks.
  
• Overhaul in building pricing structure. Building value lowered, but price of land is now factored into a building. So when you buy a building you’re paying for the building + the land. Upgrades will also be applied with an extra few % value so to allow for buying, upgrading, and flipping houses for profit.

• Buttons to enter various rooms of the building are now shown on minimised UI.
