Today, we have the long-awaited update to the inspection mechanics.

Buildings will no longer come to a complete halt when supervision ends. Instead, unsupervised peasants will begin to slack off, reducing their productivity by 50% on Peaceful and Normal difficulty levels and by 80% on Hardcore. This change should make it easier for new players to start, while experienced players likely won't notice a difference.

We've added a "Lazy Workers" modifier for those who prefer the old way of playing.

New Additions

• New building inspection mechanics. An overdue building inspection does not entirely stop production but sharply reduces its efficiency.
  
• The new game modifier "Lazy Workers" restores the mechanics of the previous complete production stoppage due to an overdue inspection.
  

Bug Fixes

• Fixed a bug where the "Monogamist" trait prevented making love with peasants even if the lord with this trait had no partner.
  
• Fixed a bug where uniting the Empire through the city alliance did not allow declaring oneself Emperor.
  
• Fixed a bug where messengers returning to the local map were not hired for work.
  
• Fixed a bug where children were considered when calculating the amount of alcohol and nectar that servants should bring to the hall.
  
• Fixed a bug where an extra servant could be hired for the hall.
  

Improvements

• Hall servants will no longer be hired as messengers to avoid endangering your lords with starvation.
  
• Immobilized residents will not be considered able-bodied when calculating migration. This should increase the migration influx in the player's city, facing severe hunger.
  
• Children will eat meat as a last resort. If more straightforward food is available in storage, servants will not bring meat to the hall for children.
