Hello Elders! Thank you so much for the warm welcome to Folkways! I've been monitoring the early feedback, and decided to do some tweaks. Since the new elders use a lot of the new mechanics, and can get pretty advanced, I had put them later in the tree due to their prerequisites, but I can see that you are eager to try them! So I have now moved them a bit earlier, especially Dwarf is moved a lot earlier, and Cats are moved a bit earlier. I hope this can help in making them not seem so far away! Also, during playtesting, I forgot that being a literal Catman gave me an advantage when playing as cats, so I gave a buff to the early game for Ronomy, as it felt a bit too hard! Food is still pretty scarce for Cats, but the new buff should give you an edge to get your food chains up! Have fun! - Michele V 1.6.1 Balance
