With the introduction of the Ancient Egypt Cultural Settlement, we introduced a cultural cost to roads in Egypt. With that we also changed the amount of Cultural Currency at the start of the Settlement and a daily collection from your Embassy. This is the same for the Aztec settlement as well.
New Feature - Minigame
On the outskirts of your village stands an imposing Courtyard Market. Upon completing the first 6 quests, the Courtyard Market feature will be unlocked and it will serve as your entry-point to the minigame. Once per day, you can play up to three minigames and get the chance to earn additional goods for your settlement. You can always dismiss the minigame to potentially get something better the next day.
As soon as you open the Courtyard, you can choose one of the three available minigames and each one will show you how many goods you can possibly grab. Your goal is to find all the hidden rewards.
You will start with free turns, which you can spend by clicking in a covered tile to reveal it, and then it can reveal a reward, an empty tile that will uncover other empty tiles adjacent to it or a number indicating how many rewards are placed within their adjacent tiles (please keep in mind that these numbers will also count the rewards you have already collected). Finally, when you run out of turns, you will have three options:
- You can simply collect the rewards you found.
- You can double the amount of goods by paying a few diamonds through "boost outcome".
- Or you can buy more turns with diamonds to keep playing (unless you've already found every single reward).

Impediments
Impediments are also present in the Aztecs settlement and they will restrict your building area, thus making each settlement a puzzle! Every time you start a new playthrough, those impediments will be rearranged, adding an extra layer of challenge to organizing the settlement. However, just like in the Egypt Settlement, impediments can be removed with pickaxes in the Aztecs settlement as well. Pickaxes can be found by completing the questline, or you can purchase up to five of them with diamonds. Once you have a pickaxe, open build mode, and click on the impediment you want to remove, then select if you want to use Diamonds for the removal or one of your stock from quests. Be careful, there are a limited number of pickaxes available for purchase and free in the questline.
