Introducing the Commoner
The commoners are wandering through the valley. 18 commoners in total, spread over the course of the game (phase I, II and III). These guys are very nice to have, so all kings will not only look at the subjects, but they will also seek the opportunity to get a few commoners for free while they move around the valley. If you move over a commoner, you may may pick it up. Also if you end on one, you get them for free. You will need to use them directly in your turn to increase your wealth with gold (bring them to the Bierstube), increase your reputation (at the Theatre), influence the outcome of the tournament (Jousting Field), or other fun locations (5 in total). Interesting dilemmas will arise, even during the game you will need to do some risk assesment and calculations what is in your best interests..

New specialists in the game
We will introduce new specialists as the Mystery Knight who is claimed to be a soul which is wandering around aimlessly in the valley. Use its ambivilance to create bigger sets of knights of the same knight order. The Alchemist gives you the opportunity to move faster through the valley at a point in the game that it will bring you the most. Luckally the old specialists will increase their job responsibilities. Also in medieval times, it was hard to get employees. During the festival everybody needs to make overtime. As a result, the Priest first leads the way for the kings but after this grand duty, he will brew and poor some beer at the Bierstube, increasing the revenues at this location. The Tax Colllectors will gather at the Treasury Room after their hard days work to show off and triggering a "majority game". Last but not least, the Wizards will be doing their thing at the grand Theatre to make it a truly magnificent show.
