Welcome to the Land of the Rising Sun

Hey there, builder! It's finally here! The fourth major update for Kingdoms Reborn, the Land of the Rising Sun, has arrived! In this article, you'll learn all about the new content and improvements that this update brings. Get ready for a brand new Japanese faction called "The Shogunate," Japanese-inspired buildings and plantations, a hot springs inn, extinct volcanoes, ferries, storage depots, and much more!

The Shogunate Faction Takes the Stage

In this update, you can play as a brand new Japanese-inspired faction. These skilled craftsmen bring their own unique survival skills to the lush green landscapes. The Shogunate have various bonuses and unique resources, military units, and wonders. Here's a brief overview:

  • Bonuses: +10% luxury production
  • Unique resources: rice, plums, sushi, ramen, sake, green tea, bonsai, electronic gadgets
  • Unique military units: samurai, samurai cavalry, mobile suit
  • Unique wonders: great Buddha shrine, Himeji castle, golden palace and pagoda

Japanese buildings and plantations

Of course, new buildings in Japanese style are also included in this update. Among others, you can expect a sake brewery, a bonsai nursery, and an electronics factory. The typically Japanese plantations such as green tea, plum, and rice cultivation are also part of the update.

Efficient logistics: ferries and warehouses

The Land of the Rising Sun update also brings two useful new features for transporting your citizens and resources: the ferry now allows you to seamlessly transport citizens over large bodies of water, while the new warehouse makes it easier to manage your most important resources.

Building copy function

Do you have a building that you would like to have more of in your city? No problem! With the new copy function, you can simply copy and paste (shortcut: Ctrl + C) already built buildings. This way, you no longer have to wait for drawing cards to build more copies of a building.

Additional improvements and bug fixes

In addition to the major updates, the update also brings numerous minor improvements and bug fixes. These include new portraits and icons, gameplay balancing, optimizations, and expanded localization. The developers have also responded to player requests and brought resources back to the map.

The Land of the Rising Sun update promises plenty of exciting new features for Kingdoms Reborn. If you don't already own the game or are looking for an affordable Steam key, check out Keyfuchs.
