Greetings Pharaohs,
Today, we are ready to deploy a new update to Pharaoh: A New Era that addresses bug fixes and issues in the military system.
Thanks to the community feedback received since the game launched, the development team worked to address issues related to the military system alongside a new Defense System that brings new purpose to fortifications.

- Surrounding a zone with defensive structures protects it entirely
- Civil buildings located in a defensive zone cannot be destroyed in the aftermath of a battle
