Dear Community!
Even though the Emperor gave you the power to govern part of this land, your powers will always be limited. At the beginning of our journey, you will be limited by the borders of your own estate. You will have to choose where to settle, you will have to look for a spot that will provide you with the most basic resources like trees and water.
Once you find the perfect place, you can start building your city within the borders. In the beginning, the land available to you is a small rectangle. You must be able to fit all the buildings needed for your citizens to survive.
If you start outgrowing the initial land, you can expand your domain to suit your growing population. Your citizens have more and more needs, so you have to find a way to get more and more space. You can do that with the help of Towers. They allow you to claim more land, so you can fulfil more of your citizens’ needs. You must remember that this building has its own separate needs, which are not connected to the initial price of placing it down. Additionally, the price of every other Tower you place will be more expensive.
We decided to create rectangular borders, as the ability to rotate them allows you for much more flexible development of your cities: moving your borders towards resources or pretty natural features.
We hope that the limitations at the beginning of your playthroughs help with your creativity and resource management. Growing your cities will become a more organic part of the experience. With the limitations, we try to make sure that all players can express themselves in designing your cities. Let us know how you feel about this change, we’re awaiting your opinions and propositions on how to make this more fun for you.
See you next time
