Oathsworn Culture

A fresh culture rooted in moral codes that bestows distinct advantages upon your civilization. The Oathsworn culture features 3 subcultures, letting you define the ethical path your people walk:

• Oath of Harmony: Prioritize peaceful coexistence, forge a multicultural empire, and cultivate a more secure world rather than pursuing conquest

• Oath of Righteousness: Accumulate "good" alignment points and dedicate your forces to crushing the forces of evil wherever they lurk

• Oath of Strife: Seek out worthy adversaries and wage relentless war, earning powerful bonuses whenever you challenge enemies stronger than yourself

4 New Tomes

• Tome of Discipline (Tier 1): Harness inner resolve to purify your units and strengthen their strikes. Unlocks the monk unit.

• Tome of Shades (Tier 2): Attack from concealment, obscure your enemies' vision and exploit their vulnerabilities to land a decisive, killing blow. Unlocks the assassin unit.

• Tome of Calamity (Tier 4): Unleash devastation across the realm and scorch your foes with chilling Ghostfire. Grants access to Calamity units.

• Tome of Prosperity (Tier 4): Usher abundance into your empire and bestow restorative Grace upon your units. Unlocks Prosperity units.
