Winds of the North Update v0.9.2

Another update! This one brings further balance changes and a few small additions.

  • Starting field circle for your Farm has returned.
  • End of Month, new Step 8: Reset one-use Hirðmenn abilities.
  • Wolf Tunic: added 1 AP so it can act as early-game armor.
  • Hunting improvements. Great Boar and Wolf Pack are now worth 1 Fame (once per campaign like the bear). Combat Hunts reward more Meat, Hide, Bones, and special items. The character sheet now has 3 Hunting Trophies that reward bonuses when you defeat the great hunts and earn Fame (trophy images not finished).
  • Wolf Cloak and Wool Cloak values corrected, some other items have also had value corrections or adjustments (increase in value for some high-end items and rare drops).
  • Attend the Þing: no longer held during Whiteout weather.
  • Trade and Explore Voyages require Preserved Meat (no other kinds of food). Land exploration unchanged.
  • Combat balance adjustments. All enemy DEF lowered by 1, increased all player weapon damage by 1. Combat was previously tuned too difficult and even combat-ready characters were being beaten by “easy” enemies.
  • Combat terminology change: Glancing Blow changed to Hit, Full Hit changed to Critical Hit.
  • New opening history brief.
  • You now begin with 1 Expertise in two different Skills of your choice during Character creation.
  • Gain 1 Expertise when you Train Hirðmenn at End of Year.
