• Invasion mechanics adjusted; start-of-game experience further-Phase 20 - 26 June 2026

  Dear City Builders, Greetings.This week's log will focus on several key changes:How to make the opening sequence clearer;How to make the map of the Four Battlegrounds easier to read;How to reorganize the recruitment system;Why the invasion mechanism is no longer just "a wave of enemies arrives at set times." I. Opening Procedure: First, clearly state the choices.In the old version, some choices were presented too early, but the explanations weren't clear enough.For example, players had to decide their development direction before fully understanding their faction preferences. This choice itself was meaningful, but if the explanations weren't clear, players wouldn't know what they were choosing or what the consequences would be.This time, we've reorganized the starting process.The nation naming stage will be moved earlier, allowing you to determine your dynasty name sooner.The faction pr…
