dotAGE – Ver. 1.6.0

Release date: ???
Patch notes:

New Content

Added Folkways expansion!

New content has been added to the base game, as these elements are designed to give a bit more flexibility late game, do not use the new Pip mechanics, as well as addressing the fact that Altars are always the same tech (felt fair to put this for everybody!)

New Memory: The Good Boy VIP (actually a Dog)

New Memory: Herbal Love. Adds a new slot with 2 mew low-tech buildings to provide earlier focus on Seed or Flowers (Flower Picker and Seed Picker), as well as three new Altars as a variation to the Altar path.

Santa: Ice Clearing does not remove Mountains or Forests anymore

Balance: Resources

Feathers are now an Animal resource, not a Natural resource

Gifts are now in the Special category

Mysterious Stone and Mysterious Plant are now in the Special category instead of the Building category

Balance: Events

Domain Threat level can now go above 7, and the UI will reflect that. This will also be useful later on!

Apocalypse-starting event can now be Absolute Zero, which means you’ll have to fight the Cold domain instead of the Heat domain, so stop amassing all that ice!

Ages now rise threat by 2 instead of 10, thus giving the player some reason to continue playing

Dizzy now won’t be so obnioxous. Instead of having a chance to become Stunned, the Pip will replace Stunned with Ill when he becomes Stunned. I suggest you imprison them anyhow, as they deserve it!

Wild Animal spawn events reduced from 1 to 0.5 per Threat level (this reduces the large areas of wild animals throughout runs, pushing players to use Herding more)

Added two new events that increase Sickness or Cataclysm based on the total number of Wild animals on the map

Added a new event that kills several Wild animals

Added a new event that grants Healthy to many Pips

Added a new event that will make a Forest burn directly

Fire now propagates more easily (can expand to 2 tiles instead of 1)

Chance-altering traits increase chance by 50% instead of 10% (yes, I know, it’s a lot, but it does give more control to what event comes!)

Building coating boons immunity increased from 20% to 50%

A Pillored Pip now ignores all Quirks and Gem production from ailments

Merged the appearing chance of several animal spawn events to reduce wild animals

Merged the appearing chance of several tech events to reduce their presence

Rebalanced all event rarities

Graphics

Added some new hair and chin sprites for Pips

Chin is now separated from Hair, thus increasing the combinations

UX

Added a new UI to Filter and Sort the Agepedia, especially when searching for Buildings

Village Recap UI redone: it is now leaner, and it has Filters too!

Revised some building traits, which now appear as small icons on top of the information to avoid clutter

Event rarity is now shown when an event arrives

Terrains in Agepedia now have better icons, and Additions (such as Bounties) are now also shown

All Boons now have unique icons, because I could just not stop myself from doing that!

Zooming out now zooms around where the cursor is, avoids returning to the middle of the village (works a lot better with large maps)

Agepedia game element default sorting revised to be more intuitive

Growth action now prioritizes as parents the Pips that already live in the dwelling, if possible

Multiple memory unlocks are now clumped into a single screen, to avoid having too many popups one after the other

Overpipulation UI is now embedded with the village size UI so it is not hidden when other popups are open

Reduced number of pulses each research slot does when revealing the building, so to make the process faster

Pips will now speak a bit more during event animations

Added a new panel to see event chance modifiers in the Prophecy

Reloading a game won’t lock the random number generator anymore during event rolls

Summer won’t say it will remove Frozen anymore until you have unlocked it
