Animals and Ambience 6.0

Legates,

Greetings! I am happy to announce the release of Animals and Ambience! This is the 5th roadmap update released thus far, and while tamer than others, should bring some pleasant life to the world of Warlord: Britannia!

This update contains two main additions, domesticated farm animals which populate barbarian settlements, and some new camp decorations and tents. Unarmed convoys have also been expanded with new wandering shepherds and goatherds!

New camp structures include the frequently suggested Legate's tent, supply tent, and servant's tent. The supply tent does not add to your storage, but instead provides an organized and covered space to place storage structures, which have been expanded upon with amphorae, grain sacks, and packing gear.
