Decorative Buildings
We’ve added new buildings and structures so you now have the ability to decorate your cities in a unique way! Not only can you customize your kingdom to make it feel full of life, but each structure counterbalances pollution and beautification, and improves the happiness of your population. They also give bonuses to surrounding buildings such as happiness, taxes, production, movement speed and influence. Different structures unlock at different points throughout the game with neutral buildings, as well as Benevolent and Tyrannical-specific options as your kingdom progresses down one of the two paths. Neutral Decorations- Trees - 23 Variations
- Hedges - 3 Variations
- Bench, Flag Pole, Flower Bed, Fountain, Graveyard, Hedge Maze, Pony Ride, Statue, Streetlight
- Obelisk, Flag Pole, Streetlight, Crypt, Graveyard, Statue, Hanging Cage, Spiked Heads, Torture Rack
Influence System
In Thrive: Heavy Lies the Crown, we have created an Influence system that limits the amount of provinces and military units in your game. It acts like a currency that is spent to acquire more of these things! Once these items are lost or destroyed, the currency is returned. You will start the game with a small amount of Influence and when your population increases, or you upgrade your Keep, you will gain more Total Influence. You will start with an amount (100) and increase it as your population grows and you reach the next tier. Every certain amount of global population will get a one time boost in Total Influence. The top tier class of each Benevolent and Tyrannical paths, will increase influence at a much quicker rate. Influence is a permanent currency that when used reduces the amount and when items that used it are lost or destroyed, the currency is returned to the pool. Acquiring more provinces, having alliances with towns or players, military units and caravans spend influenceCosts of Influence
