Feasting
The tidiness bonus has been removed. (Yes, we know this sucks for those of you who came late to the table (pun intended), but those who are already ahead will not get less ahead by us leaving it in.)
Bad idea. Where now spend gold and other stuff ? What use of symbel now ? Why we need silk now anyway ? 90% silk produced in AD goes to tables. 80% of gold and silver goes to tables. Do you think everybody will be putting gold to pave roads? Thats stupid.
Yes, big city still will be raising army, increasing production of cheese, but for smaller villages it means no fighters, because 3-4 people cannot overrun in production 50 people. So people like Klaue and Nao now have chance to take over them all.
But it's better than to have to compete with 1000 psy char setting tables.
Also death now is endgame. Because it will be impossible to restore after death to same level.
If there was need to limit power then why just not make limit on stats and skills. Lets say 1000stat is max you can reach. And everybody will be going to that 1000 everything. Noobs could get table and follow higher stat players faster.
I know symbel needed to be changed, but not that way. It now have same use as coin, its there, but nobody needs it.
Because the effect of insane psy is removed i don't see a drop in demand for tablewear - quite to the contrary, since it now makes sense to use hq tableware instead of just having a psy monster setup the tables.
Decay
Is gone. For everything that stands on a claim, with the exception of things that need to stand on pavement (Immobile structures), which will still decay if they are placed on a non-paved tile. (A claimed kiln will decay if built on dirt for example). Portable stuff that should typically be placed indoors still decays while outdoors. For example: Anvil, Wardrobe, Cupboard, Spinning Wheel, Loom, Meat Grinder, Coinpress. That may or may not be all.
Right thing for villages, but I think there need to be somehow self destruct palisades of players who quit playing 2-3 month ago. After some time everything will become in abadoned settlements.
+1
The Streets
Can now be paved with gold. And some other things.
See no use in it, its just some fun for people making art with tiles...
See no sense lay bricks and gold in streets... its stupid spend of resourses.
Adds to sandbox experience, dosn't hurt.
