a new stately lords The update is here and, in addition to adding two new maps, it's packed with bug fixes, quality of life changes and balance adjustments, not to mention a crucial change to ensure that “taverns realize that beer It's not magic, it's just beer.”
As described in the patch notes For version 0.8.024, this update combines the work of the last two beta patches. The biggest changes include a reworking of the cliff system; In particular, it should now be more obvious where you can build and traverse, and pathfinding errors around them should no longer be a problem.
But what about “magic” beer? It's a bit of a mystery what this line at the top of the patch notes refers to, but it seems like it could be related to some changes made to the distribution of water and beer, which now see the two distributed “similarly.” to market articles. ” Greg Styczeń, a kind of solo developer has two reasons for this, besides the fact that he simply “wanted to add improvements to the Well and the Tavern,” he adds: “It's no longer enough to have one beer in the tavern to improve the entire city.” Tavern Supply is one of the key requirements you must meet to upgrade your burgage plots to level three, which will eventually be necessary to upgrade your settlement level. Based on these patch notes, it seems that perhaps this single magic ale could have met this tavern supply requirement on its own, but Styczeń hasn't elaborated further.
There are also a handful of new features to focus on. Beyond the new Winding River and High Peaks maps, a bridge-building system is now available, finally adding a city-building staple to the indie hit. Additionally, distribution buildings such as the market and tavern now have an “Overstock” option, which allows you to choose a limit on the amount of additional goods placed in them beyond what they actually need.
The full list of bug fixes and additions is absolutely huge – if you want to see everything version 0.8.024 has to offer, be sure to check out the patch notes. Styczeń has also issued a couple of warnings for players to take note before diving in: “it is recommended to back up your save files before switching to a beta version,” and you should probably remove any mods: “The most they are likely to block.” the game.”
After 2.5 million sales, publisher Manor Lords says it “would be almost arrogant” not to be surprised by the city builder's success, but “it can't be counted on to be repeated.”
