I captured it in one game (1.0) and noticed a few things:
No city level up bonus (no city traits/specialisation/or (as i hoped) ability to recruit darklings and shamans)
Game code says it for city defenders it should have darklings and eventually the nasty shamans at lv 5 but it doesn't work, none spawn.
City hub - Looks really cool. Not a problem, just wanted to mention it.
Personally I'd like it to have the same code as a conclave, maybe give it some fun purchasable items or unique buildings.
