Hello Builder,
The message has been heard
This first patch is mainly aimed at rebalancing the game's overall difficulty level, while correcting several blocking bugs.
Our Game Designers have also prepared a practical guide to help you get through the first Age in the best possible conditions.

The Esplanade
We know that the Esplanade is currently a major challenge for many players. This patch corrects some of its problems and adjusts the difficulty to make the experience smoother.
Here are some details on score calculation (also available in-game):
Resource points:
- Resources harvested from the map: 1 point
- Resources transformed in buildings (like the Sculptor): 2 points
Satisfied population:
- This score represents the average satisfaction in your city.
- It can be improved by constructing buildings, erecting ramparts, using cultural characters or adopting decrees.
Faction power:
- This is the sum of the factions' power in your city.
- Powerful factions are essential to your town's development, but an imbalance can be detrimental to its smooth running.
Building points:
Buildings are essential to attracting citizens and factions.
Here are the points awarded according to their type:
- Cultural building: 1 point
- Advanced cultural building: 2 points
- Service building: 3 points
- Wonder: 5 points
This is just the beginning!
We'll be continuing to improve Mémoriapolis over the coming days and weeks. Thank you for your feedback and support!
