Maybe expand into the iron rich areas north and west to bolster your border against Magnar, and cut him off from breaking down into that river basin? I like your idea of puncturing through the mountain range too; an outpost to tame those wild horses and wargs in the west could prove beneficial. Edit: Looking at the Kingdom Report, it's probably not a bad idea to keep pushing through the Civics tree for more diplomatic options as well.

[quote who="bpalczewski" reply="5" id="3261568"] That is totally new mechanic system, as far as i know - never heard of so far. [/quote] The land within your borders grows more fertile, spreading grassland for Kingdoms, and "shadowland" for Empires.

I haven't found a style of game-play yet that the combination of a custom sovereign and a few tweaks to the world creation options didn't foster. Playing with the XML is even more fun. Edit: Don't miss seanw3's post; perhaps Master's Affliction is more your flavor? Even though it does appear that the base game is more than satisfactory for most people in this regard, there is nothing

I believe your outposts are turning territory fertile that was previously uninhabitable by your faction. [quote]Recently i realized a new bug started to pop up, it showed first time in a last version before release. In my actual game (ridiculous-ridiculous) there are places, like forests that are far from my cities, that shows no fertile ground, and no city can be build there. However, if i build a outpost in a middle of it, suddenly it reveals sites good for building a city! In my pr
