Jon,

How do you feel about adding INNS to the game. Inns could be built along a path far from the settlement and be useful in a number of ways. First, you would need an innkeeper, who would build the inn along a path. Second, the inn would provide a warm place for other clans to stay during cold months. Third, the inns could provide cloth, oil, and food that would heal clans. This would be helpful for clans far away from the settlement to regain health.

I think this is one of the best games around. You have done an outstanding job with its development. I hope my idea has some value.
