release adjustments

[unclemike]

Some minor adjustments were made today:

• [NEW] Added loss divider explanation in population center and group sections
  
• Dwarven kingdom now states 25% discount using order #600 (food/gold/defense)
  
• [NEW] Forgotten kingdom starts with a Beholder in first group
  
• [NEW] Forgotten kingdom starts with Foreknowledge of all Keys in the game
  
• [NEW] Giants kingdom is now only mastery in mountains, standard in all other terrain
  
• Sacred Order kingdom capital starts with a Castle fortification
  
• Sacred Order kingdom starts with Paladin Elite in first group
  

For current games with Giants, your ready flag was cleared to give a chance to review the new movement costs now that the Giants have mastery only in mountains.

Rulebook is now revision 1.8.

Can I suggest that the SO starts with a fortress not a castle? Having a castle means they'll never be able to start with a fortress and get that extra 15k protection.

It was Rick's decision back in January to boost Sacred Order with a Castle since they were falling behind in the standings. Here's the original post:  https://kingdomsofarcania.net/forum/show...8#pid79328

I mentioned it here in that the new rulebook was just updated (and turn 0 kingdom setup file for Sacred Order) to reflect the above...

I agree that the SO sucked and needed a boost. Not really a big difference, I guess, I would just rather have a fortress, which has the same defense boost and cost, but allows you to put a castle on top of it for a further boost, that's all.

Or maybe allow Forts/Citadels to be made after castles, Great Castles and Legondaries .
