New Civilization DLC: Golden Legend

"When the new dawn breaks, may this Mask awaken dormant wisdom, choosing the worthy to rekindle the flame of civilization."

As one of the inhabitants of this wild land, other masks are closely tied to the ancient beliefs you've known since birth—some are ferocious, some majestic, some resilient; they are extensions of the Chieftains' power, manifestations of your will.
But you heard a call carried by the sea. You dived into the water and retrieved this mysterious mask from abandoned wreckage: the "Golden Legend"

It seems so out of place—the moment you touched it on the seabed, you felt the aura of a mysterious new civilization emanating from it, entirely different from anything you knew—Sunbird, Golden Sacred Tree… When you wear this mask, you always hear these unfamiliar echoes from a civilization beyond the shores…

The "Golden Legend" will be the first mask you acquire that is entirely specialized in identifying and recruiting exceptional barbarians. The \[Bone Discern] and \[Spirit Sight] powers of the "Timekeeper" from the Sunbird allow you to see the full potential of every barbarian—whether their future lies as a valiant warrior or a nimble artisan, it's clear at a glance.

And the "Golden Legend's" mimicry ability, \[Reincarnation], allows the Sunbird "Timekeeper" to return to this world, attaching to your being: all qualities and titles of barbarians will be presented before your eyes with utmost clarity. Who is strong and who is weak will be self-evident.

While in mimicry, you can bring forth the blessings of the "Sunbird," lost for a thousand years, back into the world—it will accurately locate those rare barbarians possessing extraordinary skill potential. And when you mark any barbarian you've taken a liking to, the Sunbird's blessing will protect these chosen talents from being accidentally killed by your hand.

It will be a mysterious mask that allows you to perfectly command all your subordinates. The abilities it possesses make you instinctively ponder the mysterious civilization behind it. What exactly is it? Why did it appear in your world? And what stories unfolded there?

You do not yet know the answer—for the mysterious civilization of the Golden Sacred Tree, the "Golden Legend" is clearly just the tip of the iceberg. You've found several uniquely shaped decorative item blueprints in the mask's database; you can even imagine their glorious appearance a thousand years ago.

But undoubtedly, the "Golden Legend" will completely change the way you govern your tribe, and more of their stories will perhaps only be unveiled later…

New Upgrade: Tribe Automation

[p]
As your tribe grows, so does your desire for increased productivity. And so, it has arrived: A fully automated logistics system!

Power Ropeway

Introducing our brand-new "Power Ropeway": Now, automated wind-powered transport hubs will allow you to fully automate all your material transportation! Simply set up base stations at the start and end points (typically between your base and a mining site), construct the intermediate cableway hubs, and establish a power source at the origin—your Power Ropeway is ready!

Next, schedule the regular transport of needed minerals and let your tribesmen handle the automatic conveyance of raw materials. You'll have a constantly flowing supply line delivering resources right to your tribal camp—NO MATTER the distance!

And as for ore extraction right from the source, we're making that completely automatic too. The new "Power Mine" structure can be built near ore deposits. Provide it with windmill power and assign a diligent tribesman, and it will integrate into your logistics network, continuously supplying your tribe with all sorts of ores.

You can even use it as a fast travel tool, or soar through jungles and across mountains with your friends. Technology changes lives, folks!


Pre-Building
When planning your constructions, you can now forget about material limitations—let your tribesmen do the building for you! In the new version, when using the \[Construction Hammer], you can directly engage in "pre-building": place the architectural framework wherever you desire.

Next, assign your tribesmen as builders; they will retrieve the construction modules from storage (if they're out, you can have other tribesmen craft them!) and automatically complete the construction. This means you're free to focus on other, more critical tasks!
