Version 1.8.0: A living year

Since version 1.7.2 we played the game the way many of you do, calmly and with long pauses, and made the abbey’s year feel alive.

• Guests keep their own pace: the pilgrim comes every few days, never twice in one day and never at night. The margrave, the abbot of Lehnin and the other visitors come one at a time and stand in the picture while they stay.
• Each season brings three to five natural events, and together they touch every resource, Faith and silver too: late frost, wet clay, a dry east wind, low water, warm summer rain, a snowstorm, and milder days after the first ice. The first ice comes once a winter.
• Weather you can see and hear: storm clouds race across the sky, trees bend, rain falls and thunder follows the lightning, with no sun and no birdsong in a storm. At night the stars turn slowly; by day birds and butterflies of several kinds fly in front of the sun.
• Gardens, fields and orchards change with every season and lie under snow in winter.
• At night everyone is indoors. Texts and choices speak only of what your abbey really has, and the bell shows the Faith it gives.
• A new look: parchment leaves with gilt hairlines, book corners on the miniature and the windows, and a vermilion bookmark on the chosen tab.
• At the end of era I your abbey’s postcard comes first, then a short look at what lies ahead for your own abbey.
• On phones the header and the small works are easier to read, the Lands tab shows its count, and the cloud line says honestly when it last synced.
