The last weeks have been a bit slow for progress on BotM. My dayjob has taken a lot of time and I also got some feedback which made me rethink some aspects of the game. Because of this, I’ll soon release a new PnP to test these changes. For those that are more familiar with…
Another important part of the game “Valhalla, Raids & Gold” is, of course, the overworld map. This is where the player expand their territory and manage their income.
