 Monday we are launching some new features to make Howrse an even better game! You will be able to discover the four new illnesses that will be added to the game play to make things a bit more challenging and realistic; colic, mud fever, flu and worms! You will also get the direct sales option on your horse's page, no need to go to the sales pages and chase around any more! Then the multiple meadow action manager will be activated too! You will be able to perform the same action on multiple meadows at the same time. And last but certainly not least we are all going to discover the objectives from our new challenge system. You will have tasks to perform to validate these goals and each time you manage to validate one you get a reward! So more goodies and more fun! We really hope you will enjoy these new features and if you have any question you are most welcome to come and drop them on the dedicated topic in the Event forum. Thank you and see you soon for more great news! The Howrse Team
*HorsegirlDylan in:* What do you think about these changes? I wonder whether the horse can die from colic? Or worms? The multiple meadow manager is good, do we all agree? The direct sales manager'll have heavy use, now we just need a 'multi-sell' option for the PS and Auctions. Will the objectives be worthwhile? What do you think? |

New Medicines:
Antispasmodic medicine
The Horse Meds antispasmodic medicine is an effective cure for colic that affect horses.
Its action is immediate. After it is administered, the horse can resume its normal activity.
Antibiotics
The Horse Meds flu remedies are effective treatments for equine influenza.
The action is immediate, and the horse is restored to the health he had before he contracted the flu. Contrary to the vaccine, the flu remedies are not used as a preventive treatment
Antiseptic ointment
The Horse Meds antiseptic ointment is an effective treatment for mud fever.
Its action cancels the effects of the condition immediately
Preventive worm treatment
The Horse Meds preventive worm treatment provides complete protection against worms.
This preventive worm treatment must be administered to your horse every two years for optimal protection
Flu vaccine
This preventive vaccine by Horse Meds must be administered every two years for effective protection against equine influenza.
It effect is immediate, and its action lasts 2 years. In the occurrence of the flu, the preventive vaccine is not effective, contrary to the flu medicines.

I haven't tried the multiple meadows option, and I don't understand the direct sales option? I think it's good to have these illnesses to have it more realistic and interesting, but it will probably become more confusing as well. Today I lost some playing time with one of my foals because I gave deworming paste and flu vaccine, and I wonder if it's necessary or if it can wait until after the games (1 yr. 8 mo.)?

I'd say vaccinate and deworm at 6mo or younger, but you may want to wait...thank goodness I don't have any foals on the games.
Direct sales: on the horse's page, where the 'rename' option is, there's an option 'sell this horse'. Then a popup asking, 'Auctions or PS?', and you choose, and you go to the 'sell a horse' page (Auctions or PS) with the horse preselected.

Oh, I see, yes I think the direct sales option is very handy.
