Version 1.9.110
8 days agoA season of war, dynasty, and reform. What's new:
The Dynasty
• Living Legacy - your deeds each season build a legacy meter whose standing tiers grant real realm effects; dead rulers leave inheritances and join a browsable line of kings
• Royal families come alive - spouse requests, sibling rivalry, regency drama, and richer betrothals
• Royal ailments - hunts, fevers, poisons, and assassins join battle and old age as ways a reign can end; a ruler who survives carries visible ailments you must manage
• A scored succession crisis when the ruler dies, and a final glory ladder that ends the chronicle with the Kingdom of the Ages
War and the Crusade
• A full-screen war council at every crusade moment - the Church summons, the muster, each season on the march, the battles, and the victory terms - with each choice stating its cost, consequences, and an honest risk tier
• New council decisions: pilgrim volunteers, a baggage train, hired companies, foraging, forced marches, safe passage, scouts, siege engineers, and banner blessings
• A won, lost, or drawn campaign ends in a full-screen reckoning with a clear verdict
• Holding the Holy Land asks less of your home garrison early - lighter garrison terms and gentler opening seasons
• A rival king rises against your realm and presses it every season until broken
• Prison ransoms and prisoner labour make the prison a real money-maker
Building and Economy
• Ten new fold buildings merge top-tier shops into grand works, with tighter build caps
• Steel arrives as the realm's fourth resource - the Blacksmith becomes a forge-only trade rising to a Master Blacksmith, and the Stables stand alone
• Town maintenance crews at Duke and above now draw timber and stone each season
• Taxes, upkeep, and happiness pressure scale up with a large realm while the early game stays untouched
• Moneylender fees, housing, and trade fixes - including fair market prices through droughts
Court and Chronicle
• Great tragedies and royal deaths get mournful black chronicle styling, with a royal mausoleum on the cemetery grounds
• Grand Keep moments lifted into full-screen splash cards
• A clearer seasonal Exchequer report
Plus a long season of balance, polish, and fixes throughout.
