New mechanic: Ages!
Hello there!
Other big feature of the upcoming update is new Ages System!
In WorldBox, time moves quickly, so adding a day/night cycle or seasonal changes like winter and summer wouldn't make sense. Instead, we've been working on an Ages System that will take your worlds through a series of years, each with its unique impact on the environment and civilizations.
Some Ages will bring harsh conditions and disasters, while others will introduce magic clouds and better environments for your people to thrive in. The mood of kings/leaders will be influenced, leading to more wars or peaceful periods, and population fertility rates and food growth will be affected!
There will be 10 different Ages, each with a unique name and effects:
Age of Hope
Age of Sun
Age of Dark
Age of Tears
Age of Moon
Age of Chaos
Age of Wonders
Age of Ice
Age of Ash
Age of Despair
We won't reveal too much about each age just yet, but the names alone should give you an idea of what to expect!
We're currently beta testing the update with some players to ensure everything runs smoothly, and we've already fixed a lot of stuff!
This is also our final sneak peek post before release. Get ready for release that will come out very soon!
In case you missed it, check out our latest previews of the upcoming update, which we have shared on Twitter/Steam during the development process!

Diplomacy is changing
One of the major new features of the upcoming update is a brand new diplomacy system, which we're calling "Plans and Plots". This mechanic brings everything together into one connected system, including clans, alliances, rebellions and wars.
Prior to this update, diplomacy was happening behind the scenes, with players only able to see the results of the decisions made by kings and leaders. However, with the new system, royal clan members will first create a plan before making any major moves.
For instance, they might initiate a plan to start a war, form an alliance, or even spark a rebellion. These plans will take time to come to fruition, and players will be able to track their progress as they unfold.
And, of course, the fun part is that you will be able to handle it and direct your attention towards a king who intends to wage war against your favorite kingdom. (With life eraser, bombs, or Crabzilla lasers)
There are currently several different types of plots available, including starting a war, creating a treaty, forming/breaking an alliance and inciting rebellion. We have plans(heh) to add even more plot types in the future, but those will come in later updates.
Bonus: New tower animations from Hugo!
Thank you for your ongoing support! While you wait for an update, we have one more post to share. The next one will be about ERAS. Stay tuned!

Upcoming new mechanic: Alliances
Other addition to new systems will be Alliances!
Alliances offer a way for kingdoms to come together and form non-aggression pacts. By being part of an alliance, population of these kingdoms will receive a boost to their stats and may also build more towers on higher alliance levels.
If one kingdom becomes too dominant, other kings will have a greater chance to form alliances and fight together.
Each alliance will have its own generated banner and color on the map. And to make navigating the all these layers(including cultures, kingdoms, cities and clans) simpler, we have added shortcuts for switching between map layers.
And that's not all! Check out these improved sprites and marvel at the work our artist, Hugo, has done.
Next post will be about reworked Diplomacy, that brings clans, kingdoms, wars and alliances together in one system! Stay tuned!
We have finished implementing new mechanics and are now working on fixing remaining issues. We're getting closer to starting a closed beta, to find final game breaking bugs.
Thanks for your support. We can't wait for you to try all the new stuff we have worked on!

Expanded Wars Mechanic
The upcoming update will rework and improve the wars mechanic in WorldBox.
The previous friend/foe system will be replaced by a more sophisticated system, where each war will have a unique name and opposing sides.
The war will come to an end when the main sides are defeated, or if the conflict is resolved through diplomatic means or player intervention
With the new war system, players will also be able to see more information about the wars, including the number of casualties and its duration.
On the minimap, players can see current wars displayed as lines connecting the opposing sides with icons indicating who is attacking whom.
The update features several war types, including one related to the Spite power.
Using the Spite power over a kingdom will now initiate a global war with all other kingdoms on the map, and the war will continue until the targeted kingdom is the only one standing or has been defeated.
Additionally, the update introduces a new power, Whisper of War. With this ability, players can incite a kingdom to wage war against their desired target.
