Thanks for playing :)
For your lore tab suggestion, I do plan to add a Journal tab. It would probably be unlocked in the 2nd or 3rd life so as not to overwhelm people. Overall, I've been thinking about ways to make things a little less overwhelming.
The suggestion for more reactivity around your accomplishments is good, and I'll see what I can do to expand on it. There's actually a bit of that in place. For example, if you remember Bess talking about the missing caravans, that’s something you can eventually resolve, and people will react to it while the world permanently changes.
