Upcoming new mechanic: Clans and Bloodlines

The upcoming update will introduce a new mechanic called clans. Clans are groups of individuals who share a common ancestor, and these bloodlines will play a significant role in the game simulation.

The update will also change the way leaders and kings are chosen, as only members of a clan will be eligible for those positions.



This new feature will greatly impact diplomacy and relationships between kingdoms. For example, clans that are closely related to the ruling clan will be more likely to form alliances, while those that are not may be more likely to engage in conflicts.

Additionally, the loyalty of cities will also be affected as leaders from the same clan as the king will be more inclined to be loyal to their king.



Another addition to this system is a new map layer, which will allow players to see which clan currently rules and where, giving them a better understanding of the “political landscape” of the world.





At this time, we do not have a confirmed release date for the upcoming update. The process of balancing the update with new mechanics is taking longer than anticipated, and we want to ensure that new features is thoroughly tested and polished before releasing it to the public.

We understand that many players are eagerly awaiting the release of this update and we apologize for the delay. Rest assured, when we are more confident about the release date, we will make an official announcement to keep you informed. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
