The second tab of the kittens game is where I force my kittens into labor. I noticed the name change sometimes but wasn't sure if my mind played tricks with me. Recently it happened again, and I know for sure now. Is this due to updates of the game, or related to some other in-game property?

I looked into the source code and it turns out to it is directly related to the amount of living kittens. The relevant part of the code is the following: (in village.js) 

getVillageTitle: function(){
    var kittens = this.game.village.getKittens();
    if (kittens > 300){
        return "Imperium";
    } else if (kittens > 200){
        return "Metropolis";
    } if (kittens > 150){
        return "City";
    } else if (kittens > 100){
        return "Town";
    } else if (kittens > 50){
        return "Small town";
    } else if (kittens > 30){
        return "Settlement";
    } else if (kittens > 15){
        return "Village";
    } else if (kittens > 0){
        return "Small Village";
    } else {
        return "Outpost";
    }
}

Right now I have 55 kittens, so I just upgraded from Settlement to Small Town. I am not going to try to kill some kittens to check if my village downgrades again, but it should.

  • While I can't refute source code, for some reason with 46 cats my settlement is called "Small Village". I should have moved to "Settlement" by now. I did remember my Small Village upgrading to Village but it no longer does

  • That's strange. Above is copied/paste from the source code so I didn't play any funny tricks with it. Should be Settlement indeed.

    I will try, but I do the exact same thing. I export/import twice a day between University and home computer. It will be in the afternoon, I'm busy the next couple of hours.

    I cannot really find exactly when it is updating, but when you buy a new loghouse/hut/mansion and you'll have a free kitten, there is a (1) or (2) next to the village-tab. Then it is updated. I think that was removed or updated every time I clicked something, so it updates pretty often.

    You have to click to the "village" page and away again to get the title to update.
