Wow! Can't wait to break my ankles falling from the third story! Hope the blood spray effect is nice as I crawl into town helplessly.

but4srsly, I can't wait

I am so glad you've gotten this far in development of Hafen/Haven 2/Whatever you call it!
Please keep us updated and I'm definetly looking forward to playing this!

I am all HYPED for this game now.But i can also see by that preview that combat is going to be more complicated and there will be horses.Is that true or not?

I don't know about "more complicated". Hopefully it will be more balanced (I hope they will consider putting a cap on attack deltas or something), and maybe slightly less complicated. But we can only wait and see...

• For one thing, I'm not sure the necessary server-side calculations can be done cheaply enough. I haven't yet found a way to do so, at least.
  ...
• Even if you ignore those things, light-hacks would still be far too useful simply for being able to see the tiles, regardless of any objects.

I could live with tiles always being visible.

The fact we will have horses is cool. Next to get back into the game is wagons ect... hell I can see hourse charites now added to the game... ride in style and store some stuff lol.

But then you have light-hacks anyway and the whole point was moot. :)

It is actually called "fog of war" and I've always enjoyed games that utilize it

Sure, I wouldn't necessarily mind that as a mechanic, but it would require rather ominous core changes to support it. Don't expect the game to be ready next year if you really want that. ^^

But seriously, what's up with grapes still being annual crops?

But seriously, what's up with grapes still being unimplemented placeholders?

Ftfy. They will probably grow on trellises along with other vine-ish plants, but we haven't quite decided on the exact implementation of that yet.

Ceterum censeo that you should put in plum trees

Way ahead of you. Plum was one of the first trees I made.

Yay While you're in a good mood, consider implementing grappa to use leftovers from winemaking.
