Ancient Cities version 0.2.1 "Wild boars" is completed!

Herds of wild boars now populate your settlement map. Scavenge their corpses for food and hides resources. Process hides to get leather and dry meat to make it last longer. Build closed storages and fences around your storage areas to prevent animals from eating your food. Animals will not go through the gates ( this feature will be visually enhanced in the future ). Your citizens now have a big hut to be constructed and will meet in groups when chilling.

We are already creating more animals for the settlement map to be included in the coming weeks.

We also plan to develop a first approach to hunting so that you can use your bows as soon as possible..

Next we will develop the following item in the roadmap "Work groups reorganization and resource production management". You can check the game's roadmap here : https://ancient-cities.com/roadmap.php
