Units/creatures as expected are going to get a lot of changes in this updates with all the new meta-objects being added, but what is changing with them individually?

Brains & Happiness

Probably one of the biggest changes, units will have "brains" that have "neurons" that define there behavior and abilities. This will be influenced by a multitude of factors: traits, statuses, File:PawSymbol10x.pngsubspecies, File:Clan List Icon ~ Scaled 10x.pngclans, File:Newculturelist10x.pngcultures, File:IconBubbleList10x.pnglanguages, and File:ReligionList10x.pngreligions, and even items (items aspect are a wip). We will be able to edit the brains of units to "silence" certain behaviors.

Happiness is a system closely tied to brains. With this system units will react to what happens to them, like if there whole family dies or they don't get the food they want. In the only image happiness is shown there seems to also be a "potion" bar, blue bar (speculated to be mana), and a food bar (which we already have in a different form). You can also see blue circles around items suggesting we we'll have to find items for the new item giving powers.

Improved Unit Menu

The unit menu interface has been greatly improved and now comes with a lot of extra info about individual units. On the left side of the menus we can see a overview, editor, item, genealogy, brain, spectate, and what has been speculated to be a god control button. On the left there seems to be a button to a favorite list, favorite option, and some sort of history book button.

New Traits and Statuses

Currently we have seen very little new "normal" traits and statuses for units. There may be more but it is not confirmed whether or not these are traits for subspecies or units individually (such as the mutation traits).

New Viewing Tab & Possible God Control

It is unknown if the new tab is really related to units but it is hard to make out what the icon for it is supposed to look like and it is mostly speculation on what it could be at the moment.

The "god control" button is only seen in the new unit menu's as of this steam post. It is unknown what the button really does but has been heavily speculated to be a button for the player to control units.
