With that in mind, let's look at what is new, what got fixed, an…
Hey guys, just letting you know we've issued a patch (1.16.6) to address a few issues that we missed during testing. 1. Sometimes buildings were taking much longer to repair than anticipated - this was because we changed the scaling but it was not applied uniformly in some edge cases 2. When you add a lot of projects to the building queue it can dramatically slow down the performance of the bui…

Hello everyone, thank you for being so patient with the game updates. There has been major rework in the infrastructure side to support the extent that we'd like to see the game go. The goal hasn't changed, we would still like to deliver the military campaign, the religion system, the cultural influence system, and very importantly we want to create vertical integrations across all these system…

Hello everyone, and thank you for bearing with me for an unusually long time between updates. In this update, we looked at balancing how much districts can produce, how quickly districts become established, 2 new upgrades for Ranch and Townhomes, and a new mechanic is born: Special Projects. Special Projects are, well, projects that is separate from the normal projects your workers work on. In…
Well guys, I wanted to make this super complex thing with hotkeys but instead I said to myself "ah forget it, let's just do something that works and we'll figure out the 'ideal system' later". So, you have 4 hotkeys now! (gasp). space - pause/resume the game ctrl+s - saves the game w - goes to worker screen b - goes to building screen ... more to come for additional screens once I get some feed…
Hello everybody, Thank you for being so patient as I slowly designed, redesigned, restarted one more time, before settling on an idea of what a District means.

District: Your town is getting crowded, let's face it, rea…

This probably isn't the big one you were hoping for (Districts feature), but it continues to lay the groundwork and provides a number of tweaks and QoL improvements.

Hey everyone, Another update is here! Let's take a quick peek at what's happening: 1. We added a new feature, the building-state mechanism. When you start the game, rather than starting with absolutely nothing, you will start with some damaged buildings (damaged during the raid in the story). Repairing these buildings will be cheaper than starting from scratch. Salvaging a building will get you…
