It is, it's just going rather sporadically. Things and stuff, y'know.
Which settings are you playing with? Probably one of the (advanced) undead starts but I crave details.
How's our economy? You could pop some tradeposts in the wilds, for profit and adventure!
I think it's called something like "Shadow's Guardians" or whatnot... It's one of the two huge maps (unless they added more in the HD version). And yes, it is indeed undead and advanced. Beyond that I have harpies as wandering monsters (really haven't been that many of them, and, being harpies... They don't last very long), Wake the Hunters as special option 1 and Super Lairs as option 2. Starting gold was 10,000 and starting settlement of "outpost".
As for our current economy, we're currently somewhere around 180-200k gold, so I think we're well out of the danger zone now... I've got two marketplaces and two trading posts. One of the posts is "safe", nestled just outside the city limits on the safer side of the map, and the other is a basic wilderness outpost with inn, guard house and trading post. That's where Hans was just ignoring the troll that picked THAT PLACE to spawn.
