Again, there are sources of food that were inaccessible during the winter season, and herbs can now be collected to cure Ill and raise health. Migration can also be expected within this period.

This is the period when the player should feel the strongest and most eager to take actions.

Players can trade their goods for the needed supplies or just to increase the wealth of the settlement. In autumn we will have the materials due to the long availability of all buildings and settlers.

Players will be focusing mostly on the survival of their settlement as many of the buildings will not be available, weakening the economy and food production. Providing enough accommodation, heating the houses, having enough food and clothes, and correct management of the settlement, like dynamically assigning professions to the villagers, will be essential to minimize the negative influence of the winter. Unprepared players will be fighting for survival, while those who manage to get ready for this harsh condition will be able to use that time for troop training.
