New Content

Added Folkways expansion!

Balance: Events

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

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)

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

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

Balance

Moved food-based “Illuminism” boon from page 7 to page 4, thus making “Apocalyptic Growth” appear 100% of the time until you unlock more boons

Random elements are now completely decoupled, so that your building choices won’t affect event rolls anymore

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
