Kingdoms Rebuilt Around Independent Territories

What changed

• Every Kingdom is independent. Each territory keeps its own Treasury, Meat, Population, Morale, Guard, Runes, Army and four-sided Fortifications, with no Realm or Capital management layer.
• Fresh claims begin with 1,000 Population, 100% Morale and the first Guard. Army costs one personal Gold per unit, Meat can be bought or deposited at 1:1, and Runes cost 1,000,000 personal Gold each.
• Any player visit keeps that exact coordinate active for 24 hours. Active Kingdoms grow Population, Meat, every Army type and every Fortification each clock hour while Treasury interest compounds separately.
• Sovereignty remains a monster-combat Battle Skill. It controls growth, interest, rolling attack capacity, concurrent one-hour local transports and lower-level Treasury command limits.
• Warfare resolves instantly against an occupied cardinal neighbour through Siege Batteries, Moats, Walls, Bastions and Last Stand. Surviving attackers stay at their origin after a conquest.
• Guards return at the next exact clock hour after defeat. Bribes, Runes, Morale recovery and Coups below 5% create a direct local struggle for vulnerable territory.
• The five daily Catastrophes now distribute five different high-value bonuses across the five Planes: Battle XP, Gathering XP, Equipment find chance, Gathering yield and Battle Skill breakthrough chance.
• A Catastrophe damages its center and eight surrounding Kingdoms. The center receives the heaviest losses, 24 hours of faster recovery growth, seven days of Coup protection and a fourteen-day Meat recovery objective.
• Kingdom management is organized into Overview, Treasury, Morale & Guard, Army, Fortifications, War, Transport, Portfolio and History, with mobile-safe controls and complete audited Admin editing.
• The retired coloured Bonus Spots and timed Plane Anomalies are no longer active gameplay systems.
