Manor Lords' developer has previewed its next patch, which is ꧃set to launch within the "next few weeks." It boasts crossbows, ponds, new portraits, and a whole game engine switch.

Slavic Magic just published a , listing all the features coming in Manor Lords' next big update. The game engine switch to Unreal Engine 5 is obviously a pretty significant feature, but we've known this was coming for weeks, back when the developer said last week that it was focusing on keeping pe⛦rformance as smooth as possible after the switch.

"In response to popular demand, fishing ponds will be added," Slavic Magic writes in the post, but again, we've known the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:city builder's next patch wou🌸ld add fishജing ponds since last week. This will also see a new development branch, dubbed 'Winter🔯 Fishing,' which when unlocked will allow fishing all year round, even when the ponds literally freeze over.

Another big feature is crossbows, a new ranged option for Manor Lords players. Right now, there are two ranged units in the city builder: Archer Militia with 'warbows' and both Heavy and Lighꦉt Mercenary Archers. It's unclear if the crossbows will feature as part of a new unit type in Manor Lords, or just a new option for existing unit types.

The Manor Lords patch also features two new character portraits - a weathered old man and a youthful young woman - as revealed in the Steam post. The Steam post also reveals that "a trade overview in the devꦓelopment screen will list all the previous transactions done by the region." Finally, a bug fix will prevent fleeing deer from getting stuck on the terrain.

"Don't bank on being the next viral hit": Manor Lords publisher urges other studios to "take care of all the devs" instead of hunting for their golden goose.
