#Noble simulator Norland will get a map overhaul with Patch 26 – Destructoid
Hooded Horse has introduced that Lengthy Jaunt’s noble household administration sport, Norland, has reached Patch 26. This one is likely to be the biggest but, because it provides household timber, new NPCs, and – maybe most notably – an overhaul to the world map.
Norland launched into early entry in sort of tough form. The framework was there, however I discovered it to be unbalanced and required an excessive amount of juggling to actually take pleasure in. As I described it in my early entry overview, none of its aspects have any time to breathe, resulting in issues breaking down.
For the reason that time I performed it, the devs have been hitting it onerous and quick with updates to handle participant issues. The gusto is admirable. I haven’t jumped again into the sport since my preliminary encounter, however I’ve seen sure tweaks that appear like they might make issues extra palatable. Issues like slicing down on the quantity of babysitting the peasants want.
Right here’s what data I’ve on the replace: “The newest replace for Norland utterly overhauls the world map with new sprites, extra topology, and extra regional variety. Gamers will begin every sport battling for management over a single area earlier than transitioning to the “world” stage and preventing over nation-states of various cultures. The general map dimension can also be greater now, and a earlier patch permits gamers to compel close by vassals to sort out distant points, releasing their very own nobles to concentrate on issues nearer to residence.”
On high of that, an added household tree means you’ll be able to maintain observe of your lineage in order that, I don’t know, you’ll be able to maintain second cousins from marrying one another. If you happen to can cease them. There are additionally new “visitor” NPC characters equivalent to cultists and pilgrims. I’m unsure why “visitor” is in quotes, however that’s how it’s within the press launch.
Norland is presently in Early Entry and obtainable on PC. Additionally, it’s on sale for 35% till December 4, 2024.
