[h3]Greetings Jarls,[/h3]

The cruel winter months are behind us, and nature is beginning to sprawl again. To celebrate the coming of forår, or spring, we’ll be rolling out a brand new update for Land of the Vikings next week!

Our springtime tidings include a few fixes and feature additions, requested by the community:

• Crash Fix: A critical issue that prevented the game from launching has likely been resolved. (If you still encounter this issue, please make sure to report it to us.)
  
• Return to Longhouse Button: A new button has been added to the bottom-left menu, allowing you to return to the village center with a single click. The M shortcut key can also be used for this function.
  
• Larger Worker Selection Window: The pop-up window for selecting workers has been enlarged for better usability.
  
• Disaster Balancing: The impact and frequency of disasters have been adjusted for better game balance.
  
• Happiness Adjustment: Happiness issues that arose as the population increased have been balanced.
  
• Thrall Notification Fix: Notifications related to serfdom will no longer appear when there are no thralls in the village.
  
• General Bug Fixes and Improvements: Numerous minor issues have been addressed, along with various optimizations to improve the overall gameplay experience.

Also, if you’ve been thinking about buying Land of the Vikings and haven’t made the leap yet, the game is currently 66% off during the Steam Spring Sale!
