Hello everyone,

Mood management

Energy surges

• [p]For warriors this is +7 to Combat skill. [/p][/*]
• [p]For peasants this means +50% productivity (including construction).[/p][/*]

Transparency

• [p]Descriptions of alcohol, food, nectar, punishments, and sermons now provide clear data on mood bonuses during the day. [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41807986/85432c9966d18a9f0444a528108d5e66eff6a1ff.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][/*]
• [p]In addition, you can now click on any object on the map and get information about it – this applies to trees, bushes, and resource deposits. [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41807986/33ccd41ecb8202cc68a8b5e14b750dcaeeb35999.png"][/img][/p][/*]
• [p]When starting the game and choosing a location for the Hall, map entry points will also be shown. [/p][/*]
• [p]In the King’s Eye, you can now see the average happiness of the residents living in houses, and when selecting a church or another public building, the total amount of money owned by the residents of that building. [/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41807986/b9e0957374b08e2993d67056fa1a7b73355a121c.png"][/img][/p][p][/p][/*]
• [p]In the politician interface, it is now much clearer who holds which powers.[/p][p][img src="https://clan.akamai.steamstatic.com/images/41807986/5044a01dcb973418550935ea91256db60edf3e8d.png"][/img][/p][/*]

Other stuff

• [p]At your request, we have brought back wolves finishing off lords to death and reduced the cost of moving a building back to 5 wood. [/p][/*]
• [p]Also, based on your feedback, we removed the negative bonus for not having a place of prayer, serious injuries during training, and inheriting gray hair. [/p][/*]
• [p]We removed relationship requirements for Wise Conversation, Slander, and the Gift from a Lord. To invite another lord to your court, it is now enough to have good relations with his king (this will make it easier to collect special knowledge from the Global Map). [/p][/*]
• [p]Since there are now more trees, we rebalanced them, as well as the balance of bushes. [/p][/*]
• [p]We added another source of organic influence growth – training fighters. [/p][/*]
• [p]Now, when a politician gains influence comparable to that of your king, he receives the status of Contender, and only then begins to put forward demands for a change of power. The change of power itself is now much less painful.[/p][/*]
