A small observation re the new river

[rascal]

Thanks be to the game developer for the new river landscape addition, one thing I learned to my dismay, there doesn't seem to be a fishing option for the rivers - can this, or will this be added ?

i thought of the same thing... +1

in the game fishing is done at a fishing pond. There is no free flow of resources. Designated locations in each region for Fishing, Hunting, gathering, clay, stone, Iron.

I thanks for your reply - I realised fishing has not been set up for rivers, just thought it made some sense - anyway thanks for your reply

Hopefully it is made available for fishing on the river.

river fish really need to be added to the river map. I'm right there with you +1

It's simply unrealistic to have a stream of such dimensions in that region in that time period devoid of any fish.

River discoloration due to settlement location would also be a nice addition and could explain why people are not fishing in them. Human and animal waste run off into rivers

I think it's an oversight. Rivers should allow trade and fishing and would be a great addition to the game.

In Banished all you have to do is build a fishing dock on the river, the river doesn't have to be 'stocked' per se...it is a mechanic of the building not the river.

I don't see them revamping the whole resource system just to become more similar to a different game, though. I could see them dotting the river bends with fishing spots, though, as those are already in the game and would just need to be relocated on the River Map.
