Not everything I'm working on becomes immediately visible in the game. Some things just take a long time to work on. (cough, mercenaries, cough)

One thing I've been working on for a while and am somewhat close to figuring out is dynamic paths. The following screenshot does not look spectacular:

...until I tell you that only the main village path near the right edge of the screen was placed by me during the level development. All the paths connecting the houses to each other and to the main path are dynamically calculated and placed when the house is built.

They connect to each other, wind around other buildings, arc naturally, clear grass and other vegetation in their way and eventually end at a larger road organically.

I still need to test these in larger amounts and make optimizations, figure out edge cases and other stuff, but I've wanted this for a long time, to make the villages look more real.

Oh yes, and these roads will also disappear again when the house is demolished or destroyed.

It's been a while, and I'm starting slowly, so here's mostly bugfixes and small things such as balance changes:

• Major rebalance of difficulty levels - easy should be a bit easier now, hard a bit harder and doomed somewhat more hard
  
• Fixed: Several text errors
  
• Fixed: Animal pen fences and pathfinding - animals should no longer wander outside of their pens
  
• Fixed: Mill now correctly in the manual (on the page about fields)
  
• Fixed: Peasant log wrapping of long lines
  
• Fixed: Animal pens no longer show collection icons (milk, eggs, meat) when they are destroyed
  
• Fixed: A small error in victory calculations that also caused the victory sound to be played twice
  
• Fixed: Idle peasants now heal properly
  
• For most buildings, you can now click on the status icons (damaged, harvest ready, etc.) to open the context menu
  
• Updated a number of assets and tools
