Sea Gates

Here's what we've been working on lately:The city building AI has come a long way - the city on the cover image for this update was built by the AI!

It handles building all the things peasants need including bathhouses connected to aqueducts and noria. The AI also builds defensive walls and spins up archer towers quickly to protect against early attacks. Here's a timelapse of the AI growing its city:The AI Kingdoms update will also include new buildings, including the Sea Gate. You can use this to allow your ships and friendly ships to pass freely while blocking hostile ships from entering:Until next time,- Pete & Michael
