This patch contains a good chunk of fixes, along with an important feature, which should make players slip and fall if they step on top of other players or horses. This should prevent the abuse of the mechanics that allowed some players to climb over perimeter walls outside of JH periods by making a human centipede siege ladder.
Patch notes (ver. 0.10.19.0):
New features and tweaks:
-
Players should slip and fall down when they step on top of other players or horses
-
Player owned horses that are left unattended in the world now take longer to decay (2 hours)
-
Minimum criminal status duration is now 10 seconds, giving you some time to hit the offender once or twice now - make sure not to overdo it!
-
Food limit of barns increased from 20 to 40. Along with tweaks to food consumption ratios, you can expect that a full barn will keep your animals fed for 24 real life hours
-
Removed blocking cells on the other side of the drawbridge in a Castle Gatehouse with a drawbridge model. It will take less space on your Town Claim now

Fixed an exploit while selling items to the crown, which would give the ability to alter the amount of items in the stack once an offer has been made by the Crown
