• Proper fisheries. You now place a fishery room on top of shallow water. Expand a bit on land too to be able to place storage and auxiliary items. Fish stock is static and is highlighted when placing the room. Green is best. Red is hardly worth placing a fishery on top.
• When placing your throne at the beginning of the game you have the ability to regenerate (button below "place start"). While the general layout will be the same and dirived from the world tiles you picked, minerals, game, and fish stock will be randomly generated once more.
• Tilling period for farms. No longer will you get an army of workers after harvest, the farmers must remain an "till" the earth until they can sow in spring. Tilling increases the output of next harvest.

• Ability to change roof of room when reconstructing it.
• Ability to reconstruct rooms under construction. (Just click them).
• Livestock resource replaces the damned eggs (eggs now a food) and pastures no longer needs them in the construction process. Instead the herders will grab a livestock and haul it into the pasture where it transforms into cattle. Pastures produce livestock at a low rate. Different type pastures are available in different climates and the animals produce different kinds of resources at different rates (meat, pelt, cotton, eggs). Hunters sometimes produce a livestock resource.
• Animals also spawned according to climate and have different resources when hunted.
• Minimap has been a bit revamped with better and more consistent colors and functions.
• Construction panel has been condensed.

• 3 more soundtracks. I advise you turn the music volume back up.
• keyboard rework. Ability to assign more keys using ctrl/alt as a modulator. Added keys for saving and zooming. More keys to come. Open to suggestions.
• All rooms and their production now reflected on the world map. What this means is that the AI is playing by the same rules as you are when building your city in terms of manpower and production rates.
• Trade fixed a bit. You will now get special treatment in the algorithms, making sure you're the first who gets to export/import on the world scene, leading to massive trades.

• More resource expenditure UI. Added maintenance, construction and some other resource usage statistics.
• Temperature according to climate and season. Exposure added to subjects. they have a chance to die from exposure. Exposure can be mitigated by wearing clothes and using hearths /skinnydipping. There is also snow in cold climates.
• Walls now count towards building preference.
• Squareness thing added for room construction. Affects happiness. Species can have a thing for organic looking cities or square ones.
• Isolation added to rooms based on walls surrounding it. Affects maintenance needed greatly.
• Room cost and upkeep is increased by building big rooms. You now need supportive pillars or walls inside the rooms to avoid this extra cost.
