In the Sale action, replace “A Customer arrives” with “A patron arrives”, and “The Active Customer reads the menu” with “They read the menu”. If a bullet point in “The Night” begins “Set the Trending Ingredient” or “Reduce the current Trending Ingredient’s”, prefix it with “Review trends:”. |

Game speed feedback |
A week into the dynasty, I think it’s worth taking a sounding on how people feel about the recent timing change on early proposal enactment (previously 12 hours, upped to 24 at the end of the last dynasty). Have people found that it’s improved or impaired their early game experience? |

Dilemma #12 - The Illumination |
Even with some repairs, the antiquated electricity network still falters and can only provide a few hours of reliable power and light each day. The scientists and historians of the districts petition for their buildings to be prioritised, to allow them to work later into the night. Lookouts stationed along… |

Dilemma #11 - The Roadways |
With the city’s street lighting needing only minor repairs to become functional again, your advisors suggest clearing out the overgrown main roads through the districts, and installing barriers and guard posts. Do the Districts clear the roads, or leave them dark? Light: Gain 1 Defences and Lose 1 Food (or… |

Dilemma #10 - The Grid |
On the mountainside above the city, long-dormant solar panels are being reactivated. They angle and glint in the winter sun, and across the districts below, the shattered electrical network begins to spark erratically back into life. Most of the city remains unpowered, the bulk of its underground cabling having fallen… |

Dilemma #9 - The Strike |
The district leaders turn their attention to new research and infrastructure projects, but the citizens shouldering the burden on the front line are starting to feel overworked and underappreciated. Do the Districts pledge extra food rations to support these workers, or replace them with others? Reward: Govern and Lose 1… |

Dilemma #8 - The Mariners |
A group of bedraggled strangers arrive in the city claiming to be the surviving crew of the wrecked cargo ship. They tell dark and contradictory tales of the outside world and the dead city’s place in it. Afraid for the future, the crew ask to be given sanctuary within the… |

Dilemma #7 - The Shipwreck |
Lookouts report a derelict cargo ship aground in one of the craters at the old harbour. It’s a dangerous part of the city to set foot in, but the vessel is bound to have some rare supplies still preserved in its hold. Do the Districts send out teams to salvage… |

Dilemma #6 - The Nightwalkers |
There have been scattered reports of muffled noises in the streets at night. Erratic footsteps, and some kind of knocking and scratching at the doors of the district’s houses and storage buildings. Those who claim to have been awoken by it say they looked out but saw nothing. Do the… |

Dilemma #5 - The Floodwaters |
The city’s river runs high today, spilling over the old concrete banks in some places. Sheets of water pool across the streets as the river seeks other paths to the ocean. The newcomers from the flooded district seem encouraged by this turn of events, and urge district leaders to let… |

Dilemma #4 - The Crows |
Birds wheel through the darkening skies above the crop fields, cawing to one another and occasionally swooping at something behind the ruins before rising up again. The people of the districts look up from their work sowing the fields. Where the crows would normally perch and wait for their chance… |

Dilemma #3 - The Believers |
A large, scattered group arrive from one of the forgotten outer districts of the city, dragging their possessions behind them on primitive carts, and recounting how their homes have been reclaimed by the ocean. You all pick up on the same strange and irrational note in the the way that… |

Dilemma #2 - The Cold |
Freezing gales sweep into the city from the east, marking a shift in the seasons and colder months to come. The residential infrastructure of each district will need some essential construction and maintenance to get through it, using parts and materials from wherever they can be found. Do the Districts… |

Dilemma #1 - The Blockades |
The city is, at least for now, at peace. The last wave of conflict between the Districts ended in a kind of pyrrhic stalemate, with the heavier fortifications across the city blown open at all angles, some parts still hanging dangerously above the roads by a single chain or girder.… |

Ascension Address:
The Dead City |
It is hard to truly kill a city. War had driven many from the old seaport, and by the time the floods came, most of what remained of humanity had relocated into the Great Machines, vast and protected structures that roamed slow and optimised routes across the inhospitable landscape. For… |
