Hi all!

I’m back with another update, featuring a new map and some nice fixes and changes.

FIXES

• Fixed market notifications not working in some cases.

• Fixed skill display for people working at Trading Posts.

• Fixed an issue where your heir would inherit your poison status if you poisoned yourself.

• Fixed an issue with Quick Save and Quick Load in the control binding screen.

• Fixed it so edge panning will not go crazy if you alt+tab the game.

• Fixes to automation, cart hauling, and production.

CHANGES

• Biscuits now use fruit in their production.

• AI businesses can now buy a new cart if they end up with none.

• Certain special items will no longer show in caravan demands.

• Map now shows training targets.

• You can now right click Military Camps on the map, like you can Markets.

• If you’re playing with a controller, you can now easily delete save files.

• If you ask one of your Hyrmenn to commit a crime against their own buildings they will refuse and think less of you for it.

• Much better ultra-wide monitor support.

• Made the Healthy Mind Buff and Fishbone Charm a bit less effective.

Much love,

Atorcoppe.

• Automated managers can now hire staff.
• You can now properly unassign an item from a trade route.
• You can now hire kids at your den, but they can only do some of the tasks.
• Tweaked some wording in the tutorial.

• Fixed a camera bug when loading the game above water.
• Fixed some conversation bugs.
• Fixed it so ore deposits have a hover label like other resources.
• Fixed some UI bugs in the "related" panel.
• Fixed a bug where sometimes workers would work after being fired or quitting.

• Fixed some nav issues with the Longhouse.
• Fixed a bug that would prevent manure from increasing crop growth speed if advanced farming is turned on.

• The Tool Belt icon is now smaller and less intrusive.

• Added javelins. They have a low range, but high damage. Each throw consumes one javelin.
• Villagers can now leave notes on the doors of other villagers and the player. These notes can be notes of affection, notes of dislike, or even notes accusing people of crimes. For instance if you break into a house and someone sees you, they might wait until later and then pin a note to the door to tell the owner about the crime they saw you committing. If someone leaves a note on your door, right click on your house to read it. If you see a note on someone else's door you can read it and remove it, which means the home owner will never see it. This is an advanced gameplay setting and can be turned off.
• Tax "donations". I have added in a kind of wealth tax (as requested), where the tax man will insist on "donations", if you get too wealthy (> 100k silver). Each time the donation happens you will enter a cooldown where no further donation will be expected for a while. Each time you give a tax "donation" you will be able to claim a special reward. This is an advanced gameplay setting and can be turned off. Tax donation rewards
• Pet wolf. The pet wolf works like a dog, but can maul targets for a decent chunk of damage. So can be used in combat, or to take down enemies.
• Champion horse. Like a normal horse bur faster and looks a bit different.
• Holy Charm. When consumed it fulfils all needs, health, immunity, and cures all diseases.

• You can now do pushups to improve fitness.
• Added a new business overview button and window. The new window will list each business, their name, value, employee count/max, and idle workers. You can also hire and transfer workers from this window.

• Fixed some typos.
• You can now get a pickaxe in your tool belt on some game starts.

If you want to use one as a weapon, you will need to place it in your weapon slot. Tools in the tool belt can only be used for tool-based actions.

• Added a button that clears a destroyed building and converts it into an empty plot, which can then be rotated.

• Added a new Advanced Farming option. Field and Corral production has been reduced. Corrals can now produce Animal Fodder, which is consumed per production cycle. If you are producing items and have Animal Fodder available, production will be much faster and will generate Manure. Manure can then be used by Fields to significantly increase production speed.

• Added a new ransom window to the Den for easier ransoming of prisoners.

Happy days!

• You can now view market deep storage with trading skill 55 - deep storage is a layer lower than stockpile. Deep storage > Stockpile > Market.

• Added in wooden pegs, which can be used in place of nails and made at home. however it takes double the wooden pegs vs nails to do the same thing.

• Added Trading Post Interior (visual, not functional).

• “Tell me about your friends” added as a conversation option that will introduce you to their friends.

• Workers lodgings added. A new building that can be built on a large plot. It has 9 beds and if you build some, your workers will automatically move into the one closest to their job if it has space, and if they don’t have a better house. They don’t pay rent. You can provide them food, medicine, etc with the lodgings. Lodgings also count as housing for immigrants, if the person who owns the lodging also has jobs available.

• New setting in gameplay settings that when turned off will mean the player won’t move without being selected.

• You will now drop items on ground when inventory is full during harvesting. Items can also now be foraged directly into a nearby cart - dropped items can be picked up by ai characters.

• Added Warden’s Yard which can help put out fires. It is a civic building that can hire one employee. That employee is tasked with making sure the water cart is loaded and ready to go. When a fire breaks out the brave Ox will cart the water to the fire and spill it onto it. It will then return home where the employee will refill it. Refills only happen during work hours. If there is no employee there are no refills. You can build multiple of these buildings, but you cannot own them.

• A new map - Scrobbesbyrig - This is not the final new map I have been talking about. This was a bonus map based on a dream I had. Basically it is a map with one large walled city, situated in the bend of a river. The river as Trading Dock access. This city is by far the biggest city in the game.

• Added a new type of raider, that are visually different and come with bows. These Welsh raiders will invade the new map, and the other map that is still under construction. No vikings on these two maps.

• Trading Post - you can now adjust the margin of products you sell.

• Trading Posts now generate their own prices, instead of using the closest market, and now function more like a true market. You can buy from AI Trading Posts, if they are manned, but cannot sell to them.

Happy 2026!

Here's a little update to celebrate the new year!

• Automated carts no longer go to the military camp and just sit there.

• When you open Positions of Power, it now shows the current king (real life), and then clicking the king opens a wiki article about them.

Thank you everyone for all the support and kind words! It means so much!

I'm over the moon that so many people enjoy this extremely odd game I've made, I never envisioned that it would be a game so many other people would enjoy.

I've got a few more minor changes coming soon, and I am working to finalise the new map, and the Danegeld system.

It's a race against the clock, as I expect baby to arrive in like two weeks! I'm hoping I can start training them on SAELIG within a few minutes of birth.

Much love,

Atorcoppe.

Greetings!

You know what they say - an update a day keeps the Vikings away.

• Changed the colour of the new wiki icons.

• Fixed some wiki article issues.

• You can no longer build camps on or near buildings.

• When automation is on, you will now see a new button in production that will allow you to force a recalculation of production.

• Dogs now run faster when guarding carts.

• Added a toggle in audio settings for turning off animal sounds - pigs, chickens, dogs, etc.

That's all for today! Still got another list I'm working through as well.

Cheers,

Atorcoppe.

Hey hey hey,

I hope you're all having a great holiday! I've got a wee update for you to round off the year.

Fixed

• Fixed an issue where in some cases your saved game would not load.

Tweaks

• Tweaked the boarder boundary around the edge of the Essex map (thanks Splattercat).

• When you buy a new building it will look at the “Stay home when sick” setting on your other buildings and automatically switch the new building to match the majority.

New

• A new in-game wiki system that no longer relies on the internet. You'll now see a series of little question marks on various things, that when clicked will bring up information on said thing.

• Added a global search feature (bound to K), that allows you to search for things in game. Such as people, buildings, carts, items, and wiki articles.

• Estate Plot can now have very large sheds built on them. A hoarders dream.

• You can now drag windows around by dragging the top of said window. Each type of window will remember their manually defined position.

• Added recipes to the config file (your config file will regenerate on game start), so you will be able to adjust the quantities of items produced, the base times, and the ingredients.

• You can now offer to sell your homes that are being rented directly to the tenant.

• Added a new starting condition to most maps, called "Oathless" which starts you out as a fully kitted warrior with a modest amount of silver but limited social standing.

More to come in the new year, while I race to get things done before the arrival of human child from human womb.

Much love!

Atorcoppe.

Hey all!

Before I get down to the details of the update, I wanted to give an update on the baby situation mentioned in the previous update notes. The baby is due in 4 weeks from the date of writing these notes. So the next 4 weeks I'm planning on hammering out as much content as I can!

So to start with -

FIXES

• Fixed issue with corral + manager setups.

• Fixed issue with voting for Reeve blocking up the game in a very specific situation.

• The tip showing placeholder strings on initial lad has been fixed.

• Fixed management cancelling itself.

• Fixed management not showing for fields and corrals.

• Fixed a bug where trade routes could stop.

• Fixed incorrect charging of land tax when loading the game at 1am as Thegn.

• Supervise bug for some resource businesses has been fixed.

• Fixed ship building recipe not showing skill level.

• Recipe panel for homes now shows correct production number.

• Carriage sell price corrected.

• Fixed some cart loading bugs.

• Fixed some issues with map filter metrics.

• Randomly losing relationship with people has now been corrected.

• Caravan budget typing - hotkeys - has been fixed.

• Some fixes to dog animations.

• Some supervision fixes.

• Fixed some UI bugs.

• Fixed pit durations.

• Fixed an issue with a specific plot when developed to an Alehouse.

• You can no longer supervise yourself when working if you’re the only worker.

• Improved market stockpile logic to make markets a bit more punishing for constant trading - only restocks during work hours, and added tired re-stacking from stockpiles - so when selling a bunch of items, some go straight to the stockpile and queue for restock - and the rest go into deep storage, to be used to restock the stockpile at a much slower rate.

• When you select the same building when UI is hidden, it will now show the UI.

• Increased battle-axe spawn chance when Viking raid starts.

• Changed Trading Post trade route interval logic to scale better with day length.

• Increased chance that children will follow their parents.

• Teaching now increases your education skill by double.

• If someone catches you committing a crime and they’re not a criminal, friend, or family member, you suffer a bigger relationship penalty.

• Child workers reduce efficiency over all for any production in the business / make the wage mode less effective.

• Production relationship buffs from same production at different building is no longer a thing.

• Animal sound tweaks.

• Increased the max duration of pit stays.

• Readjusted fine amount when being declared an outlaw.

• When a building has an event based production debuff or buff applied, it will now show when you select the building.

• Production events now have a ‘show me’ button to select the building.

• Hyrmenn can now taking viking shields from Den armoury.

• If sermons are missed at church, the abbot starts looking pretty bad and gains corruption.

• If the player as a Reeve accuses a person in the town they are the Reeve in of a crime, it is instantly punished with time in The Pit.

• Replaced Reeve power of declaring outlaw, with a much more effective “Force Conscription”, which forces the target to join the Fyrd.

• Time taken for each production is now tracked and displayed as average in the new production stats window.

• Market taxes have been added (can be turned off) - elders vote on tax distribution + tax rate. Market taxes only apply when selling items to a market in a town that is not your home town.

• Added a Training Field building to Estate Plots. You can build this and hire personal trainers. People who train here will pay for successful training, and pay more for personal training.

• Added a new Hunting Shack building that allows for automated hunting (within a range), and general butchering tasks.

• You can now automatically hunt from your Hut or House, the same way you can from the Hunting Shack, however it is range limited, more so than the hunting shack. Hunting animals far away will require manual intervention.

• Tweaks to the Butcher and a new upgrade to make it worthwhile when compared to a hunting shack.

I hope you enjoy this new update! As I say, more to come soon while I prepare for arrival of human of the small variety.

Many thanks, much love,

Atorcoppe.

Hey all!

A few things have happened since we last spoke, which have delayed things a little, so I'm very sorry for the longer time between updates - I had surgery which knocked me a back a bit, and then my cat of 12 years died :(

Oh and my wife is super pregnant with a human child at the moment, so there's a lot going on there, too.

• When in conversation, relationship is now displayed.,

• In the relationship window it will now show you the count of people found in a search.

• Refined wording in the employment screen to be more clear about why someone cannot be employed.

• Hovering over productions will no show a countdown as well as the % complete.

• Added more information for each recipe in building info.

• Clicking an ingredient in the recipe window will open the market compare to that item.

• Right clicking an inventory item will open market compare and filter to that item.

• Sick workers try to continue their last task when going back to work.

• Begging balance has been tweaked a lot to bring it into align with other similar systems.

• Tweaked weapon tooltips to better describe what they do.

• Disabled forage command on spouse when foraging is off.

NEW

• New advanced gameplay setting - no player aging.

• You can now drop items from your pockets or pack. Dropping items will create a little sack on the ground which the AI can pickup.

• Added a new 'Management' system which allows you to purchase the 'Management' upgrade for a businesses and then assign a manager - this works with both automation and manual control. Managers do not work, but rather they provide a continuous supervision buff to increase the production rate of all items being made at that builder. The higher their supervise skill, the higher the buff they provide.

I have also created a translation system that I have started adding into the back end of the game, you won't see any changes yet - but there is magic happening behind the scenes. I've also got a new knowledge base system that I am building that will embed directly into the game, rather than relying on the Wiki. I'm also now ready to dedicate more time to the new map and the Danegeld system.

I hope this update has one or two things that you can enjoy! Again, sorry for the delay.

Much love,

Atorcoppe.

Hey all, It has been a minute since the last update, and I apologise for that. I had to move out of home (my office) for three weeks and then I got an awful flu. But I’m back and ready to go. Not a massively impressive update this time, but pretty much everything here is a direct result of feedback I have received over the period since the last update. You may see another update relatively soon after this one with a handful of other changes which didn’t make the cut for this update. As you may know I am working on a new map - I had this mostly finished, but due to popular demand I have decided to start it again, and have turned it into another empty map with no towns. This will be the last map I make in the base game and I think it will create a good spread. Four standard maps, two empty maps, and one hybrid map. I’m also currently investigating translations and CO-OP (nothing to show yet). On another note - I have very recently released a demo for anyone interested who wants to try the game out risk free. The demo gives you full access to one map for 16 days of gameplay, which equals 16 seasons and 8 years (ending in 888 AD). Once the demo ends, feel free to start another game with a new play style or strategy, as many times as you like. When I was a kid I could spend months playing a single demo, and I hope I can provide that kind of enjoyment to someone with this demo.

This shows mines, woodcutting huts, and fishing docks. And here are some things you can expect to see in the next update: * Much better 1st person. * New map with Welsh raiders and now towns. * A way to more easily see trade routes spread across multiple buildings. * New conversation type that will let you bad mouth your enemies - thus creating a rumour mill. * A way to destroy buildings for nails and wood. * Allowing the player to educate their workers when they’re working. * With foraging off, coops will be converted to useful buildings. * A new training field that can be built on an estate plot. * The ability to sell a rented home straight to their tenant. * The employees working when sick setting on businesses - each new business you own will adjust this setting to match the others in your property list. * Tweaks to make sure Hyrmenn guard properly when you are attacked by Vikings. * Tweaks to ensure the production indicator is properly shown when the game or production is paused. * A new Danegeld raiding event

The other thing we need to discuss.... What if I told you I forked SAELIG and stripped a bunch of stuff out and added a few new mechanics and some undead vikings... Would anyone be interested in playing a very different version of SAELIG? It is focused on keeping your people alive while you defend against the horrors of a medieval apocalypse and search for survivors and supplies.

Note that this doesn’t take any time away from SAELIG but it does allow for some pretty fun experiments that may actually make it into SAELIG. Basically It’s a little project that I sometimes work on in my spare time to experiment with potential feature combinations for SAELIG and it has ended up being playable. A lot of the advanced gameplay settings above started out as experiments in this other version of the world. If no one is interested in trying it out I’ll just keep using it to test experimental ideas.

Much love!
