Greetings, brave Vikings!, have fun with the new content arriving with Update 0.12.08! We're looking forward to your feedback!

Toolmaker

Your Vikings grew tired of taking care of their own tools and weapons all the time. So there's a new face around town: the toolmaker. He fulfills all your Vikings' tool needs, but only commissioned pieces (this means you have to personally order tools). Since many jobs need proper tools, it's very important for your settlement to hire a toolmaker. Get one as fast as you can!

Weapon Smith

A warrior shouldn't have to forge his own weapon. So, now there's a weapon smith you can order to craft and forge better bows and axes.

Sawmill, Quarry and Forester

- These extensions have been replaced by their own unique building. There are now designated buildings for creating planks and ashlars and for growing trees. - Lumberjacks will now focus exclusively on lumbering - and masons will harvest stones.

Portals!

- The end portal now has to be entered manually, this will no longer happen automatically. As soon as the portal is successfully activated, the match ends. - Sometimes, you now have to open various smaller portals and face its enemies before you can open the main portal to Valhalla.

Contributor Edition Compilation

Players who bought the Contributor Edition can now submit in-game how they want to be credited. IMPORTANT: please do not submit insulting or profane names or terms. We'd have to delete those from the credits.
