Research pays in goods and waits for its buildings, with art for the whole tree.

Every change

  • Rivers and lakes become land on the map, painted, with bridges.
  • The Hearth works as a small market for the homes around it.
  • Standing orders change your coins up at the fee and keep a reserve, even while you're away.
  • The economy, tuned: your founders stay, merchants buy what the realm can spare, and goods need deeper inputs.
  • Research pays in goods and waits for its buildings, with art for the whole tree.
  • Raw materials come from sites on the land, which grow back.
  • Clearer advice, an honest report of what happened while you were away, and Show me lands on a free spot in view.
  • The tutorial's woodcutter chapter ends with its road to the Hearth, and build menus mark sites with no free land.
