Followers will also start airing their thoughts via Prayers, with defined settlements now even more important. There are also new resource cards to collect to beef up our power.
Farm Followers, once unlocked, will begin using the land on the edge of settlements to produce much needed food for the people, though we’ll have influence where specifically.
Abodes now attached to settlements (towns) will be able to grow vertically and feature a second story to house more Followers. The ‘sprogging’ has also been adjusted so they won’t leave an abode unless they actually have some place to go - otherwise they die and it costs belief.
”All of these changes mean that we have to rebalance the entire game and this takes time. We could release what we have now but the issue we’re having with save games would mean that it’s a step backwards rather than forwards, so we believe it’s wiser to spend the next 48 hours playing through the game (again) and making sure it’s completely right and as delightful as it possible can be, before we update the version up on Steam,” said 22cans.
A full account of the impending v1.3 update can be found via the latest Kickstarter update.
