2 years? The dev is now a millionaire and was last seen diving head first into a mountain of coke and whores. Priorities changed. Expectations must be adjusted!

True true. Why spend 2 years if your life working day and night when you can now start reaping the rewards.

Good game, loads of potential and shame it didn't came out before winter - my house is nicely warm now as I played around 25h over weekend 
On The Edge mode.
Survival all attacks and reach large town.
Do raiders actually attack? I had the 365day countdown, it said bandits or whatever had been spotted but about 2 months have passed and I never saw any troops on the map yet?
Is this mode broken or do I just need to play longer?
I know they attack fine in the other mode with the off map barons.
The dev should add an online leaderboard for speed running to end game, but have it reset every month.
Could be a fun challenge to keep people interested until its fleshed out more.

I heard someone made a drive-thru layout for one, I saw it on Reddit the other day. I'm sure if you searched you could find it!Any ideas how to clear cart traffic jams??

did you try just relaying multiple road builds over the same piece of road?Any ideas how to clear cart traffic jams??
It's one guy, so it's not quite like a game with any half decent sized team or above. He'll have probably taken a break for release (to help with stress) then I imagine he'll hire staff / bed them in.
I'd start expecting updates that aren't minor balance ones for a couple of months yet.

I have a feeling it will become a finished great game though, unlike the evil ***** at KSP2 - who charged me a total rip off £50 - I hope a movement begins to sue that company.

Considering how long it has been in development for, with a single dev, I expect this one to be a slow development game, similar to Ostriv.

This reminds me of the era when on occasion you used to get a Demo CD with PC Pro/Gamer and you had a decent chunk of a massively awaited game that you could play for hours but was still a good few months or years away from the final release.

Sounds like some new help is already onboard.

You can access the new patch now on Steam (although it's experimental so not fully tested and signed off yet)
store.steampowered.com
------------------------
Highlights of Changes
------------------------
My first goal was to fix all the most common reported issues:
- The rate of Hildebolt's claims
- The famous "None" people spawning in huge numbers and refusing to do any work
- The clogged Trading Posts
- The game being stuck at the summary screen after a victory / game over
- Very weak archer damage
- Inefficient sawpits which also triggered "generic storage full" problem banners
- Problems with optimizations in large cities (still some work to do here)
- Inefficient marketplace supply
- Problems with farming, like crops erasing in the winter & inefficient harvests
- Too harsh oversupply/undersupply systems
- People and/or livestock staying homeless even though there is living space in the settlement
- Overly high ale consumption
Additionally, to make trading between Regions easier, I made sure that the
players can use Trading Posts to trade between their own regions
without using Barter / Pack Stations.
Each good type now has a switch that disables trading it with Free Merchants / Tradepoints in case the players wants to only trade with another Region. The displayed import price will adjust dynamically, showing the lowest possible price found (and NA or not available if there is no good of this type anywhere to be found).
Trade related development branches were nerfed drastically because players argued that it made the game too easy.
Whenever a person dies, there is a 30 day mourning period that blocks growth. You can now preview this in the Building Panel of the Burgage Plot or by pressing TAB.
Carried corpses now have a visual representation.
New upgraded retinue armor variations were added.
I reimplemented a mechanic called "Annual Royal Tax" or "King's Tax" (still deciding on the naming). It's a tax that is collected from the Treasury once per year, goes to the King, that is calculated per resident and in theory should slightly punish bad workplace optimization and make it more difficult to hoard huge amounts of cash.
The Large Granary building got a rework. The doors now properly animate.
A new unit patron was added - St. Maurice
-------
There's a full patch notes in the link above. Looks like they've been working hard, I'm pleasantly surprised with all the changes so soon.
