With this update, the charcoal burning plant will be integrated into the game as a new building. The charcoal burning plant produces coal as a new resource, which is needed in the forges and smelters for the production of copper and iron goods and weapons, thus expanding the goods cycle from the population level of the craftsmen. We have also integrated a new encyclopedia into the game, which can be consulted at any time in the game. Game mechanics, buildings, units and much more are explained here in interlinked articles. If you are still missing an article or two in the encyclopedia, you are welcome to let us know in the comments. Furthermore, the menus of the residential buildings now show all the inhabitants living in the building and explain their characteristics such as profession, happiness or personality type via tooltip. In addition to a new map for the free game, we have also integrated two new AI opponents and new functions for the map.
