@LordsManor That sounds like a good system to me! Just as long as it's clear to the player what they're missing of course. I feel like it makes for a longer "upgrade chain" for the army and I do like upgrades and the sense of progression they bring :D

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor Making sure I understand it: In order to have better militia, you need to import the required weapons *and* upgrade the houses to the required level?

So the militia size will also be limited by the number of upgraded houses?

I like it.

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor I love it!!! I especially love how the gatehouse appears on the road. I struggled with getting that to work well in the demo but this looks so nice! ❤️❤️

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor I also don't mind the game adjusting the wall automatically as long as I can have the option to first change the wall as I want it to and then place the new structures without the game changing the walls.

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor I love being able to build the keep interior parts as I want. It will make for much more diverse looking keeps than if it's one structure.

I also saw an image of someone having put some farms and other buildings inside the bailey wall and I'd love to be able to do that too!

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor Whatever the choice, I'd love to be able to remove and/or change the walls later if I want a bigger area for my bailey.

@farmfolksgame I'm a fan of camel case! (Capitalising the first letter of each word for anyone reading this who doesn't know)

@LordsManor After resources are there, OR if they are smart enough to know that they'll be able to work at least for x amount of time/until they're tired with what resources are there already.

Maybe if half the resources are there, only one or half the amount of workers are assigned there?

@farmfolksgame Tara 😏

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor Love it.

But really, I'm commenting only to give you props for the pun 🤩 ♥

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@NotDollie I've failed to find - please would you ease my worry? - is this the very last time? I.e. unofficial servers won't be able to enable it ever again either?

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor Getting too excited so I just can't help but give all oxen feedback 😳

Really, I can't believe how amazing this game is, even in such an early demo! I had so much fun, getting to 30 h played only over the weekend and I could play more. Can't wait for more of the game! ❤️

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@5Mikazuki @LordsManor Oh no! Let's just say all your ox already had the perfect names 😉 And in all your future games you can rename all of them!

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@ReadingOcelotl @LordsManor Or peasants that are walking towards an ox going off to the side to let them pass. I feel like that would be what people do when they see an ox dragging a log 🤔

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@5Mikazuki @LordsManor You could already name them! If you clicked the livestock icon in the top bar, you saw a list of all your livestock and iirc, you could click a name there to change it ❤️

Now, I'm not saying that couldn't be more obvious 😛 Maybe an edit icon next to the name in the list?

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@LordsManor Agreed with other replies: The animation with moving logs around is a bit stiff (especially around corners, expectedly).

The main thing for me was when having multiple, they wanted to take the exact same path into/out of dropping off stuff, getting caught on each other.

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@BluebardJohn @LordsManor You could buy more from the Livestock Trading post! It was a bit weird with only being allowed one hitching post though, so when they rested all extra ox just stayed where they dropped things off last.

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

I was already dissatisfied by you cutting most XP in half, and about to give up on the app when I saw the new home screen and how I'm no longer allowed to pick how I want to learn (how can you not make it optional?!). I think that might be it for me and Duo.

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@duolingo Just got my 1 year streak. But you wouldn't know it. As I finished my lesson you pushed ads, then "watch this person talk about duo" that I'm not interested in ever etc. The streak was totally ignored. Completely anticlimactic.

The app has really declined lately.

[Kim Restad @KimRestad]

@duolingo Hey! Any chance I could find out what AB-group I'm in and more importantly, get out of it?

Regular lessons barely give XP anymore and I don't want to do them till it changes 😳 But it's been 3 months now and I'm about to quit Duo altogether once I get my year streak 🙏
