Nantucket 1.1 – Release Notes
NANTUCKET 1.1 RELEASE NOTES:
Features:
- Implemented a Fast Combat Animations option to speed up combat animations. The option can be found in the game settings and it has to be activated, since the default option is “off” to help new players understanding what’s going on.
- Added a separated volume slider for sea shanties and an option to disable them, since now they keep playing till the end and maybe some people would not enjoy it.
- Implemented Controller support
- Added the option to not pause and mute the game when tabbing out. This could be useful if you play the game in window mode or while doing something else.
- Added “Take All” button in Post Combat interface
Changes:
COMBAT
- Added damage to the Tusk Strike attack of the narwhals, since the “bandages” ability was making them too easy to hunt.
- Changed hunt risk formula to increase chance to have a low risk hunt
- Added tool tip informing the user about the risks of automatic combat, now you know the chance to lose a man
- Decreased chance to lose men during automatic combat. By investing in harpoon technology and good hunters you can have “0% chance to lose a man” automatic hunts
- Changed de rerum animalia skill effect (now all the sea creatures cards are played face up, not just the ones attacking the whaleboat)
- Decreased difficulty of combats in Main Quest 1
NAVIGATION
- Shanties are no longer stopped by entering a city, quest events or combats, they keep playing till their end. They are still stopped by cut scenes.
- Changed sleeping days of events in order to reduce events recurrence
HARBOR
- Increased prices of large ships, since moving from a medium ship to a large ship was too fast.
- Decreased price of small ships (not the base one)

- Changed crew lay to decrease lay pressure in the end game
- Reduced effect of the traits greedy/generous (just for crew members)
