1. Fiefdoms Can Now Build Private Troop Barracks
You can now construct Private Troop Barracks on empty land within your fiefs. These barracks allow you to recruit private troops, with recruitment influenced by the local population and happiness level.
2. Private Troop Management System Added
Newly recruited private troops start with low combat strength and loyalty. Both attributes will improve over time. Once they reach their base cap, you’ll need metal ore, sulfur, and saltpeter to upgrade their equipment and boost combat strength. To raise their loyalty cap, increase their wages.
3. Improved Fief Population Growth
The population growth system has been optimized. If a fief is lacking population, relevant policies and laws that support population growth will now be more effective.
4. Adjusted Fief Happiness Recovery
Happiness recovery has been rebalanced. Changes to tax rates now have a much more significant impact on happiness levels.
5. Private Troops Can Now Pillage Other Clans
Your clan’s private troops can now launch pillaging missions against rival noble clans. These actions may yield valuable loot, including rare items like elixirs and talismans.
6. Clan Skirmishes Enabled
Private troops can now engage in direct conflict with other clans. If relations are poor, rival clans may even attack your family residence.
7. Rebel Disguise to Attack the Imperial Capital
Private troops can now disguise themselves as rebel forces to launch an assault on the Imperial Capital. If successful, you can claim the throne directly without needing votes from other clans.
8. Updated Imperial Guard Deployment Rules
At least 10,000 Imperial Guards must remain stationed in the capital to maintain security. Until your family achieves royal status, you won’t be able to dispatch the full force. Royal clans are exempt from this limitation.
9. Added a monthly military pay entry to the finance panel
10. Added a monthly clan official stipend income entry to the finance panel
11. Fixed a bug where the close button on the "Promote Clan Member to Main Spouse" screen was unresponsive
Only part of the private troop features related to clan conflicts have been completed this week. The rest will continue to roll out in next week’s update (which will also include other new features). We’ll also be fixing bugs as usual over the weekend.
