What's new in this update

Commercial property auctions

Auctions appear from time to time in different cities. It will be possible to purchase some commercial property there. Purchased property generates goods or money on a weekly basis. Before the auction starts you need to define for yourself the maximum amount of money you are ready to spend on this or that property. Different properties will do the agglomeration effect: the combination of different property types between cities which will increase the productivity.

Loot

After each battle you will now have a chance to get some loot. This can be goods, items or money. Anyway, all these items will be useful for you. The value of the loot also depends on the battle type either you were attacked from the ambush or you were driving away from your enemy.
