North 7.1 Beta

Do you plan to leave the amount of generated bog as it is, or reduce it? if you leave it as it is, I might try 25% for now, that would be 10. if you want to generate less bog then 50%. I would prefer the second option, but both are ok.

I don’t think it would be right to give the longhouse a positive effect, it must have been very uncomfortable in there. I use the longhouse more as a buffer in case there are not enough houses available.

I haven’t spent much time with the temple yet. But I know that the Vikings used to treat their gods with wild parties and lots of alcohol.
And the romans sacrificed wine to their gods.
I don’t like firewood in the temple either. Then rather blood.^^

Just WOW…Great update, cool changes. Thumbs up.

I had a go at the new version.

The flags on the peat spots are pretty good. They look a bit out of place for now but I will probably get used to them. They are much less obtrusive than the other status icon.

There were plenty of boulders this time. I’ve had to walk pretty far for stone but it’s manageable. Iron is fine.

There is once again no happiness radius shown on the wooden chapel (or wooden idol).

One of the Hanseatic merchants is paying reduced price for gold and silver. I have never seen this before ever and I don’t like it because I rely on gold and silver for guaranteed prices early on before I can get dalers and stuff. The other Hanseatic merchant (same trading port) offers the normal price. See photos.

Did you add happiness detraction to longhouses? See third photo. Not a single resident in those longhouses is above 3 stars. I have had no diseases or other things that would make them sad. The ones in the izbas are happy (other than the izba which is outside of the sauna circle). Am I missing something?

Cool, thanks for those clarifications.

Could you take a look at the tar kiln? I’ve tried a few times to start with it instead of a charcoal pile and it’s soooo slow. This time I paid a bit more attention and it seems to be using only 8 firewood to produce 3 tar (instead of 16) so I’m wondering if the timing is off too.

Do tools and education play a big role in the speed of production at this building?

I took a fast look at the changes “in-between”. I´m not fond of having several games running at the same time but since I restarted that challenge game, I thought I might as well take a look at your changes, Tom.

I think the small signs on the peat will work. They are a lot more agreeable than the old and with some practice, I can distinguish cut and uncut peat tile. Well done!

It´s a seafarer map and indeed it seems to be more boulder but hard to see any difference by stones and bog iron. I find it good that there is more boulder, and also that you get boulder from the quarry. It makes the stonecutter hut more useful. As it is was, you need it to make a few millstones and to make ashler for a temple. After that, it was mostly closed (or I even demolished it in some games, if I wanted the space for other things), Now you can either cut boulder to building stones or produce millstones for export. (Millstones was indeed a real export good here in my neighbourhood from the medieval times until mid 19th century)

I don´t think that this has anything to do with the North or RKEd, it´s rather my old computer that makes its pranks. As I said, I usually only play one game at the time. I also often”clean” Win data and register so I only have those mods I use loaded. But now I have both The North and RKED and I have crashes. Not often by doing anything special in-game. More often when I go away to do something else the game has crashed when I return. Just want to tell that the North will temporarily be thrown out of the Windata but I certainly will return to it soon.

I started to run in to a bunch of fatal access violations with no obvious link between them (not caused by clicking on a specific building or anything). I’m not running any other mods so it’s not that. Would crash logs help you figure this out, Tom, or anything else?
