Update 1.32: Bridges, and Muggings

Hey Everyone,

The Main bits today are Bridges, and the Mugging event. Bridges are pretty straight forward with the exception of you cant build 2 bridges right next to each other, and they can only go a maximum of 5 water spaces (also bridges may not line up 100% perfectly with each segment, I will try to get this worked out next week). Muggings happen when your people are unhappy (individual people not the average), and can not happen before the 20th day. Muggings also have a cooldown, so you wont just go from rich to bankrupt in no time. To see which areas of your city are unhappy I also added a happiness overlay.

The bridge will allow you to build on 2 sides of a river much more effectively, and the mugging event will finally give you a hard reason to keep your happiness up. Both additions should have a substantial effect on gameplay :)

Patch Notes:

- New Building: Bridge, The bridge will allow for faster travel over water. Bridges cost 25 per segment. People can still travel through water, but bridges make it much more feasible to build on both sides of a river.
- New Overlay: Happiness Overlay. The happiness overlay will give you an at a glance view of the average happiness of each home. Keep in mind that just because the average is good, does not mean their are not individual issues…
- Muggings of your tax collectors can now happen when your people are unhappy. This effect is lessened by Constables. The mugging severity scales with your city, and can not take place in the first 20 days.
- minor text changes in various places.
- Added a building collapse animation.
- Granary now shows how full it is by how many windows are filled.
- Fixed a bug where if you removed your builders before you built any houses, they would not retake their jobs and nothing could be built.
- New immigrants will no longer take jobs until they have a home. This fixes a bug that could make your people work infinitely without resting.

Next up:

I am currently working on the rest of the water and health system. I hope to have them done by Friday next week along with level 6.
