Laying the foundations for a new city is one of the most exciting moments in city-building games. In "Against the Storm," you'll be able to relive these moments again and again as you create new settlements and simultaneously utilize a network of previously built cities in an ever-expanding world. Keepers of the Stone DLC Description: The fight for survival in Against the Storm continues, as the "Keepers of the Stone" DLC introduces a new playable species, two new biomes, new buildings, new orders, threats, and exciting new opportunities for any Steward ready to take on the challenge. Frogs join the storm, offering their mastery of stonemasonry and love of water. Meanwhile, a new land emerges from beneath the waves, after countless cycles spent in the depths, the Seaside Grove. While still isolated and difficult to access, the surrounding ruins of ancient settlements hold precious treasures waiting to be discovered. Meanwhile, new opportunities are also emerging in the once-thriving forests, now reduced to industrial wastelands—the Ash Forest, strewn with broken tree trunks and the remnants of a bygone era, awaits a competent Steward to restore its long-forgotten glory. Against the Storm - Keepers of the Stone includes: [*] Welcome the majestic Frogs to your settlements and utilize their mastery of stonemasonry, their comfort with rainwater, and their ability to expedite caravans of new inhabitants. [*] Discover a new biome, the Seaside Grove, where you start each settlement by the water, far from royal envoys and the aid they can provide. Instead, you must rely on the Rover Harbor—a new building unique to this biome that allows you to send expeditions in search of treasures sunk in the surrounding waters. The Harbor offers a new way to acquire building plans, and each expedition requires food supplies for both the Aqua Rover and its rider—the more you're willing to invest, the better your potential finds. [*] Explore a new biome, the Ash Forest—a land ravaged by industry and the Storm. These barren lands hold rare Thunder Shards—crystals imbued with lightning energy, which are incredibly expensive to acquire. They're needed to craft Cornerstones in this biome's unique building, the Cornerstone Forge. With a limited number of attempts to forge your own Cornerstones, you'll need to choose wisely which conditions and rewards to combine, as well as whether to submit to an optional penalty that can enhance your new creation. [*] New rewards have been added to the Burning City upgrade tree, benefiting the new playable species, the Frogs, as well as 3 new Legendary Cornerstones, 1 new Epic Cornerstone, 3 new Rare Perks, and 5 new Uncommon Perks. [*] New biomes will appear on the world map after the current cycle ends. To unlock the Frogs as a playable species, you must reach level 9. Specifications:
