Highlights

  • Adjustments to the prices of many goods

  • Increased likeliness and intensity of Major Incidents

  • Fixed issue related to global religion buffs

  • Fixed several causes for crashes and desyncs

Balancing

  • The base prices of many goods were adjusted (mostly increased), resulting in higher buying and selling prices

    • Consumption was accordingly also very slightly decreased for some goods

  • Difficult and aggressive rivals are now more likely to declare war on the player

    • We have adjusted multiple behaviour reasons to make it more likely for rivals to start wars, including the smaller feuds

    • Specifically Neferneru and Concordia are now also more likely to ally against the player

    • The intention is to provide more challenge for players seeking it

  • Major city incidents are more impactful

    • Increased number of rioters to be defeated (Riots), increased number of people to be evacuated (Fire), increased number of sick people to be picked up (Plague)

    • Additionally, taking any such actions (defeating rioters, etc.) reduces the incident by only 1min each now

  • Major incidents will happen more often

  • Increased the population threshold for city status changes in early game (level 3 + 4) to allow players to build wide for longer
