Good day everyone.

It was already good fun seeing people speculating over what these could be when they were teased in the Feature Breakdown video. I just know I can't look at Moravia the same way ever again.Next up I feel like I've been working my Advisors to the bone lately. As of Cradle of Civilization, you are able to give your Advisors a hard earned raise with, a new interaction in the court tab allowing you to increase an Advisor's skill level by 1 in exchange for 5 years' of their salary. This is also a way to bring their level above the long-standing limit of 3 all the way up to 5, so if you have more money than you can possibly know what to do with, you can enjoy vastly increased benefits from a full court. The caveat is that only Advisors of your culture group or your promoted cultures are eligible for promotion. Nobody within or outwith the Court will approve of an unaccepted one rising through the ranks.A small addition that was teased last week is the addition of 2 new buildings, theand theThese are both manufactories to coincide with the addition of new trade goods and come free with the 1.23 Persia PatchFarm Estate unlocks at tech 6 and is an early-game Manufactory which works for the less glorious goods of Grain, Livestock and Wine.Mill is a mid-game Manufactory available for the more lucrative goods of Paper, Gems, Tropical Wood, Glass and Chinaware.Incense, as the 5th new trade good, is exploited with the Trade Station Manufactory which, as is indicated above, has shed some of its previous goods.Finally we have added the ability toin your provinces in Cradle of Civilization. When times are tight, you have to ask yourself if your denizens really need their homes, farmlands or their young. when exploiting the development in a province, you will permanently reduce its development by 1, and gain a lump-sum benefit from doing so.Exploit Base Tax to gain 60 months' worth of that province's tax incomeExploit Production to gain 60 months' worth of that province's sailorsExploit Base Manpower to gain 60 months' worth of that province's manpowerOf course, development must be at least 2 in a category for it to be exploitable, and this action requires at least a Territorial Core in that province. A province cannot be exploited in the 20 years following its last exploitation.And that about wraps things up. Also be sure to tune into our Twitch Channel as we launch into our latest Dev Clash campaign at 1500CET. To whet your appetite, meet the competitors.
