Erratum: During the stream, we mentioned that winning the game in 1-2 years will only progress the Cycle by the said number of years, but that was a mistake. Every game will progress the Cycle at least 3 years forward. This was implemented to prevent cheesing and playing below your skill level to venture farther on the World Map.
I love everything about this game. One thing that I would really like to see, though, is more biomes. It's certanlty very limited giving the "rainy" nature of the game so a desert for example is out of the question. But fantasy-like biomes are more than welcome.
I like many of the changes. I have been playing experimental. Not fond of only playing from the last settlement. Especially when trying to reach the seal at the end.
In terms of physical representation of the seal. Maybe you could have it spawn near base or in woods nearby. The more your blue reputation bar gets to winning the more of the seal graphically is shown as sealing. The more queens impatience grows the more a dark shadowy figure over it grows in size
Can you play the seal event only if it's within reach of the last settlement or any settlement? Because it looks to me that if you get to the seal spot, but do not have enough fragments you have to move further from the seal in search of negative modifiers, and then after you have enough fragments essentially play a few more games to come back to the seal. Also an idea, maybe make the primary target not sealing all seals, but getting super far from the city ( end of the map, something like promised lands or whatever, no need to create the special biome for this, you can just give game credits or just reuse the seal biome since your efforts will be wasted on something not every player will be able to experience), that way the seals become more of a year resource, that you need to get there (just do not make it necessary to close all of them, 8 seals = 8 cycles from scratch, sound like 50 games on top of already played hours to me, which is quite a lot to finish the game). Maybe to incentivize the use of Caravan wagons you can make the cost of moving via some biomes more costly, or make it possible to save these movement/vision points for later.

Great game guys. Early access done right.

Thank you so much for this awesome game. Your updates are awesome. Also, you age a great example how early access should work. Keep it up :) Dzięki ;)
I feel like the faction minigame wasn't adding much so I'm glad you decided to address that!

I wonder, is there some form of story mode planned at some point?
