Yes, your dream of having Northern Alliance footmen with round shields and hand axes has finally been fulfilled! :D Each faction now plays with their own visual style, bringing more life to the world (and making multiplayer games extra fun!).

The home of the Dwarves is already in even though our chubby little friends are not in yet… Feel free to explore and colonize it with our known hearthling factions - and uncover the secrets of its unique features like Birch, Yew and Highland Pine trees, Marblesprouts and Moonbells - among other things…ĪCE also adds a lot of variety to the game by creating unique visuals and models for all the crafters from the Rayya’s Children and Northern Alliance, not to mention unique workshops and weapons and armor, and also several animals and things from each biome. You’ll notice that bodies of water will now be much more “living” with the addition of water objects (rocks, algae…) and animals like fish! There are still things to come but you can already explore and discover all the new things of this cold and blue world… All the new resources are nicely integrated into the game - killing animals or digging will get you bones, certain types of clay will occur only in certain places (like ball clay on the bottom of lakes) and cutting grass or shrubs will yield thatch, useful for making that not-so-fancy bed that is at least better than the even worse bed we added! Bones, different types of clay and stone, or thatching are just a couple of examples.

Happy that you can irrigate your crops but unsure on how to do so? No worries! ACE adds a new set of tools to play around with water! Water gates and pumps will allow you to control exactly where and when you want your water running and even allow you to take water up or make fountains.ĪCE introduces a fair amount of new resources that have come to change your game - literally. On the topic of farming, farmer now can be promoted to a Shepherd, and haved their special 6lv perk(that never got into the game) added, which allows then to harvest special crops.Farmlands can now benefit from the presence of nearby water! Most crops are able to grow without any irrigation, but if you take the time and effort to provide them water for their optimal growth rates, you'll have bountiful harvests! There are now 6 types of farming Plots The bush farming plot, the regular farming plot, the decorative Frower plot, the tree farming plot, the fruit tree farming plot, and the Mushroom Farming plot.

The Final Goal of the mod is to bring the game to a stage where it can be much more enjoyed and for much longer than its final release version, not only through all the new additions and content but also by fulfilling missing promises, adding planned features, and finishing unfinished/scrapped features.įarmlands can now benefit from the presence of nearby water and the sun, and some crops now require special Conditions to grow. All the content must be designed horizontally, aiming for expansion rather than complexity - and feel more like a foundation for modding (as the game does) rather than a mod itself.From color palettes to models’ scale and detailing, everything must look like it was created by Team Radiant itself.

All the content must look, feel and blend inside Stonehearth’s estabilished lore, aesthetics and soundscape seamlessly.

All the content must be no more complex nor require more micromanagement and gameplay depth than anything else already present in Stonehearth.

There are also three golden rules that will always be part of the ultimate decision-making and design challenges of ACE - they are not negotiable and are:

Improving the default user experience without compromising the game’s desired clarity of the interface nor adding unecessary depth or complexity.

Attempt to achieve a base experience closer to the one imagined through content promises and ideas that didn’t make it into the final game.

Enhancing and adding to the standard Stonehearth Experience wherever it feels a bit lacking.
