The upcoming update will introduce a new mechanic called clans. Clans are groups of individuals who share a common ancestor, and these bloodlines will play a significant role in the game simulation.
The update will also change the way leaders and kings are chosen, as only members of a clan will be eligible for those positions.
This new feature will greatly impact diplomacy and relationships between kingdoms. For example, clans that are closely related to the ruling clan will be more likely to form alliances, while those that are not may be more likely to engage in conflicts.
Additionally, the loyalty of cities will also be affected as leaders from the same clan as the king will be more inclined to be loyal to their king.
Another addition to this system is a new map layer, which will allow players to see which clan currently rules and where, giving them a better understanding of the “political landscape” of the world.
At this time, we do not have a confirmed release date for the upcoming update. The process of balancing the update with new mechanics is taking longer than anticipated, and we want to ensure that new features is thoroughly tested and polished before releasing it to the public.
We understand that many players are eagerly awaiting the release of this update and we apologize for the delay. Rest assured, when we are more confident about the release date, we will make an official announcement to keep you informed. We appreciate your patience and understanding.
Meanwhile, here's some other previews from coming update, that we posted on twitter during development in case you missed:

Happy new 2023 year!
Hey everyone!
We've been hard at work on a major update for WorldBox, and it's been going well. The update includes 5-6 new mechanics, as well as improvements to existing ones that we think you'll love. We know it's been a while since our last update, but we think this one will be worth the wait.
In addition to the new mechanics, we've also made several behind-the-scenes optimizations and improvements to the code architecture. These will help us make more stable and smooth updates in the future.
We want to wish you all a Happy New Year and thank you for your continued support and patience. We can't wait for you to see what we've been working on!
Cheers!

Because the chance of war was less than 0 - [PC] achievement buttons blocking scrolling in their window - [PC] world laws buttons blocking scrolling in their window - bees make the game lag when going over mountain tiles - [PC] avoid bringing tooltip while window is closing - ufo not damaging buildings - save creation time showing wrong date - city center calculated wrong after bonfire destruction - (pathfinding/ai logic) sometimes connections between regions not calculated correctly, as a result - ai was doing weird things - sometimes the city wanted to colonize unreachable terrain. Like when there's a land inside a mountain - wheat wasn't rendered correctly in hand sometime - soft crash when crabzilla got healed by fairy while crabzilla is dying - units were shown holding resources when they didn't - city set target for other city even when it was not possible. For example, blocked by mountains, lava, double water lines, etc - snakes attacking elves - cities trying to send units to friendly cities blocked by mountains - armies sometime decide to chill somewhere, and do anything for years - unit/boat map icons didn't had z sort for them - game lagging when units were being shoved into mountains during fights - kingdom relationship history kept resetting, and timings were off sometimes - effect for fire on unit not animated when unit died - funeral boats: if a unit died from age/hunger inside a boat, his body stayed forever inside that boat. Eventually the boat had 1000 of bodies and counting - soft crash because of the dragon sometimes - some icons had wrong compression applied, ruining the colors - sometime units would target enemies that were not possible for them to see or attack - amount of boats kept increasing in one dock as the world progressed (when one dock is destroyed, ship joined another friendly one) because boat check limit was not actually used all this time - error because of a plague - poison immunity didn't work - some kingdom relationships had a bug and would count the age wrong - kingdoms button had the wrong description - sometimes cities got stuck and did not build anything, because they thought there's a fire nearby (spoiler: there wasn't) - unit selection effect was working behind menus - tween error spam on map reload - mobs were attracted to ruined golden brain after game loading - butterflies and flies dying over mountains - mountain damage gave exp to unit - divine light didn't affect poppoints (idle units inside houses) - crabzilla could be infected by plague causing soft crash - some buttons showed tooltip on tap, that wer not supposed to show one - sometimes pre-calculation for pathfinding/regions found wrong connections. Changed hashset formula - sometimes units in inspector were showing wrong weapons - bug with docks/boats textures - mountain tiles not aligned correctly with other ones - [mobile] saves from autosave menu didn't show titles - [mobile] crabzilla joystick was stuck if crabzilla died while using the joystick
Other/optimizations: - map loading times - world/mini map switch effect - island/pathfinding pre-calculations - some sprites - unit effects - mini map rendering - farmers/farm tiles - name generation - buildings
