Imagine telling someone you enjoy Mountain Bread, them thinking that you're a lover of the outdoors and baking fresh bread on treks and hikes and what-not, but really you're just hollowing out baguettes and pouring in Mountain Dew as a snack. That's a prime Story Time with Matt inspired plot twist.

I've spoken to Slavic Magic a few times, he was the solo dev on the game for a long time (he's since gotten a little bit of help from Hooded Horse). The man is brilliant, and cares DEEPLY about making the game not feel like just Age of Empires meets Total War meets City Builder. Even down to the authenticity of the equipment and architecture, which is ~1370's-1400 in western Germany and along the Rhine. And it was done like 90% by a single person!

Tip! (Just to give you anguish) You can rename just about almost everything, check it out! But for a real tip, Burgages(houses) are recommended to be built when thay have a little house marker with a +, that mean they can get addittions/upgrades, there should be an upgrade for them to have chickens, they produce food for your settlement?/village?/town?

[@scattyork4176]

Cuntz is probably a variation of Kunz (which is short for Konrad), which was such a common name in the medieval ages that "Hinz und Kunz" (Heinrich and Konrad) became a saying, meaning bascially everybody or any number of people. Kunz is actually still fairly common as a last name in Switzerland.

[@MichaelLong777]

So Hinz und Kunz is just the German equivalent of our Tom, Dick, and Harry. That's a nice fun fact you got there

[@Unmannedperson]

3:04: Technically, oxen are cows. At least as far as "cow" being the colloquial term for all cattle (the actual animal name). A "cow" is a female head of cattle, whereas a male is a "bull" if intact and a "steer" if castrated, and "oxen" are cattle that have been trained to work, or "ox" if just one. Fun fact: there is no universally agreed-upon singular for cattle, so "one head of cattle" is typically used as "one cattle" is grammatically incorrect. Or just "one cow" because we all call them all cows anyways. Point being that ox = cow. 🎶The More You Know🎶

20:56 ive got a weird feeling that (cos many games do this) the more you upgrade your village to bigger sizes, the more you will be attacked by bandits or other villages.. just a guess. but its probably better to get tons of resources and defences first before upgrading lots?

[@mattlievens3573]

From what I've seen a lot of the weapon making capabilities are locked behind higher tiered plots so you really have to add to your defenses as you go.
