   :( no factions near me. I may have to move, oh well. 
By the way given that the faction capitals can't be harmed are they going to look different from faction expansions? (not soon i know) but yeah they should look different and the player protection circles on each capital won't look that good.

	Factions do nothing right now. It would be weird to move with a forest right into the middle of the desert or the tundra actually... Have you guys accounted for that?

	You may have already said this elsewhere but what can we do with the factions at this moment in time? :s Its just that i found a city and when i clicked on it i had no options. Cant give it resources, send diplo's, seige it or whatever :S So yeah - what do they do? Or is it just that they dont do much YET? Edited by hanoth - 13 Oct 2010 at 23:20

	Hi all, As promised, major biomes (Polar, Desert, Marshes and Jungle) plus the faction hubs have been released onto the World Map. Please bear in mind that the graphics that these biomes are currently using are placeholders; a full set of new world graphics is in progress and should be delivered reasonably soon. These biomes have new and unusual resource distributions, and if you go to the areas of the map where they exist (see here for a copy of the world map) you can see their resource distributions. Please note a few things: There will be further NPC square seeding of these biomes, but this will not occur for a few weeks (ie after the ability for players to move cities has been released next wednesday) These graphics are placeholders (just thought I'd repeat that, so people don't complain) Most of these biomes are fairly inhospitable, and many have less than 25 plots in total for the town Travel within these biomes is likely to be extremely slow, once unit pathfinding is introduced to Illyriad These particular terrain types (polar, jungle etc) will be receiving their own unique combat terrain modifiers shortly; but they're not in yet We have not yet assigned any Sovereign Structure Production bonuses to these terrain types, but this will be done tomorrow We have not yet released the faction relationship tables and faction descriptions - these will also come ingame tomorrow. I will be making a full post tomorrow, outlining and reconfirming all the rules about moving cities so that there's as little confusion as possible. Best wishes, GM Stormcrow
