Changes

    • Power varies with Wind and Wind direction
    • Can be rotated to match Wind direction

• Buildable area around Settlements start small but increase with population
• Wild Spawn points in a large radius around established Settlements are removed (except for the one closest to the Settlement)
• Wild Spawn points that are away from Settlements become Unsettled, meaning players are warned when they attempt to deploy to them
• Public structures now require voting for dismantlement
  • Thanes & Lords count for more votes

• Players can drown in some locations on land

• Beacon Tower placement fails silently when attempting to build distal (but still in range) of enemy beacon towers
• Beacon Tower plays the sawbuck SFX when on fire
• Fort Hoardings can be built on top of each other
• Well build rules are lenient on slopes resulting in an open space under the asset
