Hello Constructors!

Today, we’re unveiling a powerful new system in Celestial Empire – the Divine Relationship Trees! As you progress, your connection with the gods will shape your city’s destiny, offering unique and permanent bonuses that enhance your empire.

[h2]Divine Relationship Trees[/h2]
In Celestial Empire, there are three godly patrons, each with their own relationship tree. As a governor, you can invest Faith Points to unlock various permanent bonuses, such as the ability to purchase some vials of Miracles or economic perks like, for example, road decorations providing a tax boost.



Earlier in the game, you had to choose your divine patron. Remember, this decision matters and stays with your city forever! Bonuses within your chosen god’s tree come at a reduced cost, making it easier to strengthen your bond with them. If you want to explore these divine paths, visit the Divine Island, where the relationship trees await.

[h2]The Divine Shop[/h2]
Your faith doesn’t just grant blessings. It also opens the doors to the Divine Shop, where you can spend Faith Points on powerful bonuses, such as:

Miracles – Single-use abilities that provide instant effects.
Blessings – Permanent bonuses that last forever, shaping your city’s long-term prosperity.



Every player starts with access to four base vials in the shop. However, your chosen patron grants access to a unique additional miracle vial, making your decision even more impactful. The Divine Shop can also be found on the Divine Island, so be sure to visit and see what the gods have to offer!

How will you shape your divine path? Will you stay loyal to your patron and focus on his relationship tree, or seek power beyond your chosen god? Let us know your thoughts, and stay tuned for more updates!

See ya
The Devs
