Update 0.6 - The Dead Rise

With the Season of the Storm upon us the Dead have come to seek their revenge on the living!

Not only that, thanks to the large community collaboration, we can now reveal the crew management system based entirely on your feedback.

Undead
On Geheimnisnacht when Morrsleib the dark moon waxes, spirits invade the lands. Superstitious sailors tell tales of ghost corsairs crewed by the undead.

Crew Management
Players can now being name and hire individual crew members.
Each individual crew member can now be assigned jobs onboard ship, given new weapons and with experience levelled up to gain new traits.

Full list of changes

- Crew are now individual characters with unique skills and individual experience growth.
- Added crew traits, crew can gain traits by levelling up after gaining experience.
- Added crew management screen where crew can be assigned to positions on ship, levelled up and paid as well as have their equipment adjusted.
- Crew now cost less initially but require payment every midnight (if unpaid the following midnight, crew will lose some morale)
- Crew provisions and water added, provisions can be bought in port or converted from food cargo. Water is collected when raining, and replenished automatically in port.
- Crew can be put on limited rations which reduces provision and water usage but will slowly reduce morale.
- Added mutinies: Extremely low morale crew can mutiny.
- Added crew roles: crew can work on rigging, ship maintenance, cannons, lookout, ship’s cook, cooper, quartermaster, surgeon or be assigned as marines.
