🏰 Kingdoms, Diplomacy & Civil War Systems
■ Diplomacy
Peace treaties are enforced for 30 days.
Due to large code additions, diplomacy may not function properly for a while.
■ Civil War
If the player’s or any AI clan’s influence exceeds the king’s, the kingdom may split.
Stored influence decreases daily.
Kings receive a fixed amount of daily influence.
■ Kingdom Destruction & Restoration
When a kingdom is destroyed and a new kingdom of the same culture is created, the previous destroyed kingdom will be restored first.
■ Exile System
Landless lords lose loyalty and may join civil wars or defect to other kingdoms.
Features related to kingdom destruction and lord exile are not fully tested.
■ De Jure Ownership
Clans may randomly lose de jure rights to fiefs they do not control.
Newly captured towns gain de jure ownership on day 100.
■ Influence Gain Issue
Influence gained from battles does not properly reflect enemy size (known issue).
■ Kingdom Art Settings
System modularized: You can now change kingdom name and colors without founding a new kingdom.
■ Strategic Settings
The king can assign overall strategies.
Clicking the box under a town name allows town-specific strategies.
⚔️ Combat System Changes
■ Infantry Combat (Finalized)

Press Spacebar in combat to perform a dodge action.
