Just another small update for you all.

Fixed pregnancy bug (in some cases this could require a new game, sorry).
Fixed bug that would make the game stop progressing at midnight.
Fixed a few loading bugs.
Fixed many other small bugs.
The East Seaxna map has now been completed and the other half is now available from the year 900 onwards.

Fixes

• If a tenant leaves their house the game will no longer crash or get stuck in a loop.

Changes

• Market prices are now calculated differently and each market has its own regional variation based on the wealth of the town. Prices within each market are now less volatile and making money from trading is now less about the quantities in each market and more about the variations between each of them. This is an experimental change that should add a new dynamic to the market and prevent exploitation. Please let me know how it goes. There is a button at the top right of the screen that allows you to compare market prices to assist with trading.
• The church interior has been redone and a third room added.
• Adjustments to rental properties, it should now be easier to attract tenants.

• Orphans are now in the game. They can be randomly created when starting a new game, but will come about in existing games if both parents of a child die. A children without parents will move to the church with the monks and live there until they are adopted or grow up. You can right-click on the church and send you player to visit the orphans which will allow you to adopt any of them.

There have also been a few other small changes and fixes.

Fixed a bug that might've cause the social classe for some families to display incorrectly.

Disposable pack doing silly things has now been fixed and it should work as designed.

People can now refuse marriage or love making.

Hey folks,

Another quick hotfix.

Bug Fixes
Fixed a bug that would cause the player to float around and become unable to interact.

Changes
Tweaked the market economy a bit

Hey folks,

Another small patch to fix up some things.

New
When you assign people to do a job and production has started, if they are too far away they will teleport to work. They'll never be late for work again.
Herbalist's Hut production events have been added.

Bug Fixes
You can now burn down the alehouse again
The alehouse would sometimes eat people when they went inside it. This would cause the town populations to vanish, and grind the game to a stop. This has been fixed.
Fixed some bugs related to needs.
Fixed a bug where people weren't running when they should be.
Fixed a bug related to loading a game where you own a Thieves Den and being forced to pay wages even though I removed Thieves Den wages from the game.

I just wanted to get a few things sorted, so here is a new patch.

Your thieves will now be paid on commission instead of a wage. So for every amount they pickpocket for you, they take a small cut, and for every cart they waylay they get to keep one item.
You've always been able to befriend guards to get better treatment when breaking the law, but now this will also work with your thieves. So if one of your thieves is caught by a guard who is your friend, there is a good chance for leniency.
You can now hide the selection UI of a selected building, character, cart, etc
Fixed up some issues with the class based building limit
Previously you could get half way through character creation then exit to the main menu and start the tutorial with that character. This was not by design and could mess up large portions of the tutorial. It is now fixed.
