Warhorse Studios shared their upcoming DLC From the Ashes at this year’s E3 2018 which will be adding some new features. The DLC will allow players to manage and build their own village. In addition to the DLC will be a new “hardcore mode” adding further challenge which will launch June 26th, 2018.
From the Ashes Let’s Players Build and Manage a Village and Hardcore Mode
The first premium DLC to releaseFrom the Ashespromises a new experience for players with the addition of allowing players to build and manage their very own village. Those who have wanted a chance to be in charge of their own domain, will get to see their own village prosper before their very own eyes. Players will receive the role of “bailiff” which brings many responsibilities, including resolving village disputes, learning crafts and upgrading buildings.
From the Ashes DLC
The DLC adds the element of money management, players will need to decide where their hard earned money should be invested. But some actions will come at a cost, upgrading buildings may reap benefits and make you money, while others will not be so profitable. Employing wood-cutters will cost you daily, if you run out of money your reputation will dwindle, meaning you will lose the trust of your workers and you will no longer be able to build new buildings.
Learning how to balance the books will be a key skill in becoming a good bailiff of your village. Manage your resources well, earn a good reputation, your village will have potential to grow and earn you a return. The benefits of owning your own village will include some unique items that can only be found there.
But it’s not all about money, having the honour of being a bailiff comes with other responsibilities including settling town disputes. Listen to the grievances that are currently taking place, make decisions based on what you hear but remember your decisions will carry weight and influence your relationships with the towns folk.
You also get the role of hiring people to work in your village, these can be NPCs you have met in your travels while questing. you’re able to even hireKunesh(yes the guy you beat up for money), give him a job and in-turn will generate you more money. A new dialogue option will be made available for certain NPCs and they will have the option to come work in your village in a certain role for example as a guard, woodcutter etc.
Hardcore Mode
Along with the details of the DLC, Warhorse Studios share a new “Hardcore Mode” which will definitely bring new trials and challenges for players to face. The mode will allow you to experience a more realistic life in Kingdom Come: Deliverance and will be a free addition to the game which will be arriving tomorrow. Here are some of the features you will face if you enable this mode:
In a recent Q&A atE3 2018, the developers confirm that there will be no perma-death in this mode. The reason for this that the story follows the main protagonist Henry, and would not make sense in terms of continuity in the storyline as well as the loss of progression would be tremendous in terms of hours.
