Heard of the Story? changes
⚒️ Guilds & Fame: as you specialise into your favourite craft, find others with like-minded interests and establish your own guild. Likewise watch your villagers forge their own across different disciplines. Construct a guildhall and develop your collective experience to improve the items you produce. Rise to fame by developing your town's unique hallmark trade craft.
- 🌹 Romance & Marriageconnect on a much deeper level with more dialogue, gifts, and new shared activities. Unlock new mechanics and events such as having villagers follow you around, kissing, sharing houses, and more. Marry your favourite villager, and watch others find their own partners, or get into drama over toxic break-ups.
👑 Autonomy & Governance: raise a manor house to establish building and gardening zones for your villagers. Watch them start their own construction projects or beautify the town with well thought-out decorations. Establish more general rules and policies dictating villagers' overall conduct and witness just how exactly society will evolve.
🌾 Fields & Farming: purchase or gather seeds for various fruits, vegetables, and flowers. Plant any crop in any field, water it, and care for it. Finally, harvest the fruits of your labour and sell them for profit. Set up organic plantations by drawing the exact area in which you'd like the vegetation to grow, be it a big circle, small square, or a star-shaped farm.
- 🗺️ Towns & Conspiraciesopen up a new world map showing a drawing demarcated by district lines, denoting towns, forests, mountains, and ancient ruins. Hear about events happening across the world - whether royal marriages or tough droughts. Uncover conspiracies, mysteries, relics, or ancient legends through stories from visitors.
