Dawn of Man Update 1.5.1 Patch Notes
Balance Changes
- Donkeys and Horses will usually now spend 3 game years as adults and 1 as old (before it was 2/2). This will bring up their reproduction rate to the same level as cattle.
AI Changes
- Domestic animals escape from raiders when not sheltered, even before being attacked.
- People will now build structures even if very hungry when there is no food available, this can easily happen in Nomad mode.
- Fixed issue with animals sometimes stuck in a loop in or near rivers/lakes
Quality of Life
- “No space in stables” warning is now only shown in Autumn or Winter.
Modding fixes
- When two scenarios use the same string ID, the game will now display a very obvious warning at startup.
- Fixed crash when spawning items for humans in scenarios and there is no space to put them.
General Fixes
- Iron Sword now uppercase like the rest of the tool names.
- Improved appearance of “Requires Tech” tooltip for context actions.
- Fixed issue of animals/humans using the wrong idle animation when switching model (this is triggered by switching Age or outfit).
- Fixed issue that could cause 2 trees to grow in the same place sometimes.
Dawn of Man version 1.5.1 is now available for download.
