[h1]Dear Lords and Ladies![/h1] As we announced in our last Patch Notes update, we are currently hard at work on our first DLC! However, we're also determined to make the base game even better. So not only have we listened to a lot of feedback from our community, but we have also come up with something new that we think will make a positive difference to the gameplay. ❤️ [img]{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/33269676/b8f54925e4cb3b0a5c8317d28676ca25603e941d.png[/img] [h3]A free new building to discover[/h3] Have you ever waited in vain for the Merchant to appear in your province, only for him to arrive too late? Fear not, we have a solution for you: The [u]Market building[/u] offers you an alternative to this excruciating uncertainty! Trading may not be quite as lucrative, as you will have to [b]sell your goods at a 20% lower price.[/b] However, it is still an option worth exploring. You will also find [b]eight random wares[/b] that change every turn. You can [b]buy them at a 20% higher price[/b] if you wish. [i]Start the game, invest your gold and let us know what you think of this new addition to the [i]Rising Lords[/i] building radial! 🔨[/i] [h3]But wait ... is that it?[/h3] Of course, that's not all. Describing every single change introduced in this patch in detail would result in an endless wall of text, so we'll just let you know: We have added a lot of new things, changed a few bits and fixed a lot of issues!
