Greetings to all goblin leaders! It’s finally time to test your wits against the other races of Elderstone. We have added the diplomacy feature in this update which will unlock once you discover at least one of the other NPC leaders in the world map. We hope you enjoy this new feature and look forward to your feedback as we balance and improve it in the future.
Features:
- Added in Diplomacy with the other races you can discover during Treks in the world map.
- Diplomacy allows the player to boost their trek chances by becoming enemies or allies with each settlement leader.
- You can actively gift and compliment or insult and request favours from the other leaders.
- Allies will trade more favourably with trade treks and be more responsive to faith pilgrimages.
- Orc, Elven, Human and Dwarven raider units added to the game.
- If you are not at least friendly with a leader then may send thieves to your village.
- If you are enemies with a leader, they may send warbands to your village.

- The elder resource UI had a small update to its looks.
- Added a toggle key 'M' for swapping between world map and village.
