Hi honorable Patrons!
In a few days we'll celebrate the two year anniversary of Patron release. A lot has been changed, expanded and improved during this time and we're happy majority of players appreciate this continuous effort to make the experience ever more enjoyable. Heck, a lot of ideas came directly from you so big thanks for supplying us with such a nice amount of inspiration!
So, for the occassion, we've naturally prepared some nice surprises:
Central element of today's update is the addition of „Creative“ game mode. This has been requested numerous times by so many of you, so it's here now. When you start the New game you'll be prompted to choose between two game modes – Sandbox and Creative. First is basically the original game mode that existed from before: All game rules apply, players faces challenges with securing resources, balancing societal issues, tackling problems and disasters, forces the way ahead through resources and everything else connected to selected game difficulty.
Creative mode is a special game mode that OPENS EVERYTHING to players. Entire research tree is available from the start, ALL RESOURCES ARE INFINITE, Citizens will always spaws in sufficient numbers, access to all buildings is open and so on… you get the picture. This mode is for anyone wishing to simply spend some time playing the role of ultimate medieval urbanist. If you were a mayor of a medieval city, with limitless resources and logistics – what kind of marvelous city would you create? Only sky is the limit…
We hope you'll enjoy this new dimension of Patron, and that you'll go wild building impressive urban fantasies. We'll be happy to take a look at what you come up with. Feel free to share it via Steam community screenshots of on our Discord.
Another important thing in this update is the introduction of „automatic jobs board“. This means you can now check this option on ingame jobs board and all jobs will be automatically populated depending on available citizen numbers, stage of building upgrades and current city requirements.
