All goods

Bee Farm and Chandler In the game

• The apiary becomes the Bee Farm. Its yield comes from the live trees within 24 m of its door: about 80 trees fill a level-1 month, open fields give nothing. Build bee farms inside forests.
• It keeps those trees (no one fells them for it) and makes raw honey and, every fifth batch, beeswax.
• New building: the Chandler dips 2 beeswax candles from each unit of beeswax. Candles are a home luxury between pottery and glassware.

Storage yard In the game

• You drag the storage yard to the size you want when you place it: from 2 to 16 tiles a side, 8 to start. Move or resize it later; its room grows with its area.
• The storage yard holds one good per 1 x 1 cell, shown as one pile per cell on packed earth.
• It needs no card slot.

Recipe modes and fuels In the game

Glassworks, kilns, plaster works, daub yard, stonecutter, tool workshop and bloomery get selectable modes, each with its own fuels.

Charcoal In the game

• The charcoal kiln and the charcoal burner make coal in their first mode and charcoal in their second: 1 wood makes 1 charcoal.
• Charcoal is a clean, hot fuel that burns three times as long as wood, and the first choice of every clean-fuel recipe mode.

Working hours and wages In the game

• Longer hours make more but wear the workers out; higher wages cost more but keep them motivated.
• Every workplace's window shows its working hours, the wage a worker gets, how hard the work is on body and mind, its danger, smoke and noise, and its upkeep a month in wages.

Vision In the game

• You see every cell of every province you own.
• Each finished building sees around itself: 6 cells by default, the town hall 14. Towers, forts, the beacon chain and the lighthouse see farther, and on the world map some light up the provinces around them.

Shipyard In the game

The shipyard builds hulls by tier; each tier needs its town hall level.

Research and the ages In the game

• Online realms unlock buildings through research: 385 research nodes, one per building, bought with research points; a blueprint card permits each copy.
• The two ages and the town hall level decide what you build with and what it costs (see Ages & money).
• Every building page shows its status at the top: fully, partly or not yet in the game, and what is still missing.
