A new update for ASKA that adds an appropriately themed layer of celebration and community to your Viking settlement as Steam Medieval Fest kicks off. More than 600,000 players have checked out ASKA during the game’s Early Access period. The new Hearth & Honey update and a 20% discount for the duration of the Medieval Fest makes now the perfect time to join the growing Viking-hordes in festival spirit as the mood shifts from raiding to bees and delicious mead.
Hearth & Honey brings a whole new production chain to the game, centered around beekeeping and brewing mead. It starts with a voyage out to the marsh islands to track down wild beehives and ends with your villagers raising a horn at the newly added taverns, which can now also be upgraded to tier 3. Stocking your taverns with this tasty liquid gold provides a new way to manage your tribe’s needs and keep their spirits high.
Hearth & Honey is the latest in a relentless stream of content, following 8 major updates and numerous patches - including the game-changing Seaborne Raiders expansion which brought longships and naval exploration to the world.
List of Features in Hearth & Honey
- New Brewery building: Brewers harvest honey from available Bee Houses and turn it into mead. Apart from honey, he requires empty mead barrels and water.
- New Bee House building: Constantly produces honey once built. It will, however, lower an area's desirability - these bees sting!
- New Wild Beehive resource: Found on Marsh Islands. Bees make their hives in high-up, safe places, so you'll have to figure out a way to bring the hive down.
- Honey!: Sweet gold made by bees. Provides a bit of sustenance and gives a short stamina buff. Key ingredient for mead. Produced by Bee Houses.
