Atmosphere

• Serene (not all serene of course)
• There's living village, abandoned/crumbling settlement and lone shacks on the mountainside
• History, much like one in the Dwarf Fortress, decaying of the settlement is simulated by the very method, but 1-2 will be forced. The amount is dependent on the size of the map
• Reference: Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Trailer (the trailer came much after this game but the video will help you to get a grip)
