Known bugs:

There are a lot... but here are the real killers

1.  The MUTINIES:
Dear lord I'm sorry to you all, I'm sure your leadership skills are better than this game is telling you! I forgot to add a very important negative sign in the morale check for that event so instead of checking for morale <= -150 it checks for <= 150. If you manage to luck out and avoid a mutiny until you get above 150 morale, you can actually play the game. I was about a minute too late to fix this one :/

2. Delay in effects from events:
flaw with part of the game logic that results in events not fully registering with the game until a day after they should. For example, if you get a MUTINY (and oh baby you will until I can release my fixes), you will still be able to pick your next terrain even though your settlers count will be at about -350. Also results in some seemingly weird behaviors with events that give/take food and stuff like that.

3. Elevation does not work:
I knew about this but didn't have time to make the change. When you move to a terrain with higher elevation, you are supposed to be able to see the terrains that will follow your two present choices. While the game logic does allow you to see the additional four terrains, they do not reflect what choices you'll have upon selecting your next terrain.

4. Options menu from title screen:
Back button does nothing so you're hard stuck. Another simple bug I missed because I overscoped - definitely have learned this lesson!

I keep failing in two turns :-(

Yeah there was a bug that I caught about 2min after the submission deadline... Thanks for giving it a try!

love the idea though let me know if you fix it. I'd love to play it more.

I'm definitely planning to update a few things after the review lockout! Mostly bugfixes haha

It looks really interesting, but I don't think I canr each Oregon ("^w^) I keep getting the Mutiny event in the first 10-12 days (I think 12 is the maximum I got ?). Thank you for making this little game !

Thanks for giving it a try! Yeah I caught that bug right after the deadline, it's what I get for working up to the last moment I guess
