My character is practically invincible in melee now, wearing mail cowl, hauberk and leggings with some fur over that. What I'm scared of is an arrow through my eye that insta kills me. I've been look all over for stores that has the great helm, but no luck yet. Does anyone know where the best place to find a great helm is?

[Seriyu]

Can you update by just copying the new version over the old version? Or should I delete and replace?

EDIT: Nevermind, figured it out.

I've updated my graphics mod, Wickerman's Graphical Enhancement Mod, version 3.2: http://z3.invisionfree.com/UrW_forum/index.php?showtopic=1921

WMGEM ver.3.2 changelog:

• I've replaced every single one of the real-life pictures in the game with drawn images, some 140 or so images. I don't have a late game save so I haven't been able to see how they all look, please give your opinion.
• Even more drawn portraits, there's now 62 of them. And since only "North" ones can go over the limit of 6 portraits per culture I put the excess ones as north_ . If there is a north picture you'd like for one of the other cultures simply change its name to east or west 1-6.

Spoiler: more... (click to show/hide)

• I was inspired by a recent trip to the zoo where I saw reindeers, lynxes and wolverines to give their counterparts in the game a makeover, they now have nicer legs, I hope. =d
• New "escaped slave" and "hurt, helpless and afraid" avatars.
• Removed the non-sash avatars, too much work.
• Received permission from Brian.Shapiro to include some of his works, Muskox now replaces one of the cow types. Meat, helmet, boots, mitten design(I recolored) both black and white new sheeps, new cows, I added new legs to them and made female version of muskox, otherwise it's all from him.
• New shop signs! The pots, wolf skin, crossbow, fishing rod, hammer and meats on them are all from Brian.S, the rest is from me.
• New Road tile, looks like dirt road now. I'm not entirely pleased with it, meant for it to be more seamless with other road tiles but its hard...
• Fixed the rain a bit, on the weather status thing.
• Added eye dots on most npc's. I didn't like it at first but it grew on me...
• Remade one of the old man npc's
• Foreign Traders now have pack horses!
• Added green dark outlines on the world map trees which gives it a softer look.
• GREEN OUTLINE
• Remade the fox trap.
• Put the berry bushes closer to the ground.
• The grey dogs jaw felt a bit too angular, I softened it a bit.
• Went back to vanilla style river rapids
• New world map player house.
• Remade the child models, they now look like they're running around playing and havin' fun, adds to the village atmosphere I feel.
• Remade northern seer, housewife and staff dude.
• Njerpez women are now scantily clad slave women equipped with knives.
• Heath has been edited a bit.
• Removed the staked skulls beside the tents... it didn't work.
• Recoloured the fringe of the dug hole.
• Re-textured the button to make it look like it's made out of wood, probably not to everyone's taste, remember to back up!

And probably some other stuff I don't remember. I haven't tested any of this a whole lot so please give me your opinion and any critique you might have.

Here is a mini preview, it's not all the stuff that's been added.


I also had a go at making my first ever mods outside graphic stuff.
Egg nests, grouse eggs, capercaille eggs, swan eggs, eagle eggs(found on mountains), mallard and tufted duck eggs can all be found in the game, I'm not sure about any of the stats I gave them though, if you boil them they become appetizing but otherwise you can eat raw too.



And rabbit burrows, it comes in two versions, rotten carcass and fresh. The idea is that you stick your hand in the burrow, grab a rabbit and immediately snap its neck but some times you find a long dead carcass instead. And they're actually mushrooms but yeah... fresh rabbit is slightly poisonous if you don't boil it and rotten is just not ok to eat at all.


They're both included in the pack as optional mods, I'll put them as separate mods later.

I really dont like how Njerpez women are scantily clad. Its a dumb sexist trope from modern roleplaying games, also it makes no sense for anyone being in a bikini, when 1. Its Finland, cold as fuck. 2. its IRON AGE finland, long before anything alike a bra was even invented and 3. it gives no protection what so ever.

+1, and similarly, it doesn't really make sense for the guy to be in his underwear either.

Is anyone else having a problem with this game where every time they think about downloading the game to play they end up reading the features going into the next version and decide to hold out for then instead? Between pausable building and different tasks actually requiring stamina/working body parts the next version sounds amazing already. The game's going to be much more intense now that injuries will really have realistically meaningful consequences.

Considering how few pixels there are, being male or female would be visually meaningless if they were in full winter garb.

[DrPoo]

You could make them a few pixels less robust i guess. Its just that URW is supposed to be an authentic experience.

[Rhazak]

It wasn't really specifically meant to be a bikini or a bra, just very tattered clothes and since I wanted to convey that it was both a female and her status as a slave I went with this, and this way players who like playing cavemen can also use it. :d

And Finland contrary to popular belief isn't really a constant winter wonderland with polar bears walking the streets, it gets quite hot in the summers.

But I can see what you guys mean, I made some with more clothes on, as well as a red head version of the male, since most of the other avatars in my mod also have red hair and you'd probably switch to another one when you're on the "runaway slave" scenario a bit after you've settled down.



And to the others, thank you for the praise.

[Haspen]

I'm back to this game.

Got painfully reminded that attacking a sleeping animal isn't[/s] a guaranteed kill. Especially if it's a bear.

That plus almost three week starvation and I'm on like -140% skill rate. But I finished my house

[Azated]

I keep getting insanely lucky stealth kills on sleeping animals. I once shot a bear in the eye with a bow on the first shot, cut it up, found another one, and shot it in the eye too. The collective pile of meat weighed more than my house.

[Haspen]

Nothing makes a neolithic person's morning than waking up and finding large, beefy stag caught in one of nearby traps

* Haspen so much food got.

And 'stag roasted fat' was simply ridiculous. I chewed on it for a week!

[Girlinhat]

Yeah, a decent trap line can give you absolutely ridiculous amounts of meat.  I had one that caught like 4 stags and 2 traders.  I ended up dining finely while dressed in my new fur top-hat for like a year!

Although really, you're not a true survivor until you've made a Squirrel Fur Cloak.  Start collecting!

Welp, time to update my sig quote again.

[Haspen]

That wasn't trap line. It was single pit-with-stakes trap in front of my cellar

I'm not convinced that animals aren't coded to walk into traps.  Like, while moving in the overworld they have a set chance to fall in a spike pit, multiplied for each pit.  And if it's in the local map, then they just walk EVERYWHERE.

Also, just use pits.  Spike pits are likely to kill, but regular pits keep the animal alive, which keeps the meat fresh for longer.

And now that you have so much meat, set up some of those fun fox traps.  Fox furs are the most valuable to foreign traders, and are baited with meat.  Or just make some fox fur boots for yourself.

[Haspen]

Today, in middle of grinding bowls (to buy some clothes, winter is looming over horizon), I went out of food, so I thought 'turnip soup time!'

I grab the pot, the bowl to get water, open the door and leave to the cellar.... Bear in a spike pit. No prior game announcment, no sounds or noise indicator. Bear in a spike trap, for who knows how long, is sitting there.

So naturally I put down the heavy things, run back to house, grab the axe, and go at the bear with a glee. Another set of smoked food, yay <3

I made the soup anyway.
