The Windmill and Decorations update for the town management game Medieval Dynasty is here. This hefty patch brings a lot of new content, including the windmill, flower pots, small flower vases, and other things that add embellishments to your domicile. In addition, the game now uses Unreal Engine 4.27.2, which brings visual and performance improvements, and bug fixes.
For gameplay changes, salting - the process that creates salted meat and salted fish meat in the hunting lodge and fishing lodge - has been moved to the second tier of the building. Besides that, drying meat has been moved down to the first tier. Furthermore, the radial menus on the gamepad now remember the last action you’ve selected, making it easier to repeat the operation.
In terms of bug fixes, the issue where expired items have their HP reset to maximum has been resolved. Moreover, the problem with the flickering of animal shadows is now fixed.
