• unit mood system. When the unit eats his favorite food he gets happy. Happy king happy kingdom. But what about the grumpy human king that didn't get his sushi from trading with elves?
• martial attribute. Used by the leader/king. The higher the stat, the more warriors they can have without penalties and more
• stewardship attribute. Used by the leader/king. The higher the stat, the more villages there can be in the kingdom without penalties. Also affect taxes, how much good produced in villages, and more.
