Norland's 'big summer update' is even larger than March's 'damn big update', introducing a politics system, a new economy and more authentically medieval buildings to the Crusader Kings-inspired colony sim

King wielding his axe against would-be assassins in Norland.

Fair play to Norland's developer Long Jaunt, it doesn't do patches by halves. Back in March, the medieval colony sim's "damn big update" overhauled several of its most fundamental systems, stripping out character needs, reworking crime and punishment, and radically changing how your colony's horny lords give orders to peasants. Now, Long Jaunt is rolling out an even bigger patch that leaves virtually no part of the game untouched.

Appropriately named the 'big summer update', Long Jaunt's latest rework is so extensive that the developer issued it in two halves. Part one arrived back in June, headlined by a new economy system that enables all in-game characters to trade using gold.
