• Each player starts with a hero limit of 3, +2 for each castle, up to 5.
• City loss rule: important to protect the starting city.
• Roads connect zones, so routes between them are easily readable in the game.
• Each player receives an area near their starting city for early capture – for example, a second city or several mines.
• Each player starts with mines near their castle: 1× lumber mill, 1× ore pit, 1× gold mine, 2× rare resources.
• Faction laws upgrade at 125% speed, and astrology upgrades at 125% of the normal rate.
• Each neutral zone with a castle contains 2 castles to be captured.
