Dear Magistrates,

After more than a month of development, the highly anticipated Version 1.3.0 update is finally here!

We’ve named this update “Reshaping Rivers and Mountains” because it primarily focuses on improving the core systems and performance of the game—such as housing structure and consumption, happiness calculation, storage mechanics, and more. Gameplay in the early stages has been significantly streamlined to address pacing and balance issues.

Mid-to-late game optimizations, however, will need to wait for the next update—otherwise, we’d never finish QA testing! 😭

If you encounter any bugs or issues after updating, please leave a comment under this announcement.

Below are the main changes in this update:

1. Resources are now categorized into Agricultural, Industrial, and Maritime types.

2. The cart-based transport system has been removed. Granaries, Warehouses, and the Trade Office now only increase their respective storage capacities.

3. Citizens will automatically collect resources from the nearest warehouse.

4. Resources consumed to maintain building operations are now directly deducted from warehouse stock.

5. If warehouse capacity is full or a resource exceeds the storage limit, related buildings will cease production.

6. Building consumption is now divided into four categories: Fixed, Food, Material, and Additional.

1. Resources dropped from demolished buildings, defeated enemies, and repelled bandits now go directly into storage—no more hauling by warehouse workers.

1. Improved pathfinding when building roads—now smarter and more intuitive.

2. Removed transport capacity limit for builders. As long as resources are sufficient, each resource type only needs to be delivered once. A fixed construction time has been added instead.
