Hey!
We are only a few more days away from launching the Mage Tower, and here are more details and screenshots of how it works!
Mage Tower Overview
The land for Mage Towers (yes, plural) can be purchased from town mayors. If you have a great relationship with the mayor, you might be able to strike a deal with them...
Building is done by Room. You pay gold to add empty rooms to the tower. This automatically increases the size of your structure.
Adding rooms wide and up requires a Foundation score for stability. Foundation is increased by building on the ground floor (or underground).
Once empty rooms are built, you can choose what function that room will serve in your tower. Each type of room provides different perks and abilities
Some basic room functions will be available right away, while others will require blueprints in order to build. Blueprints can be purchased from various merchants. This is where the cost is. Once you have the blueprint, you can make as many of these rooms in your tower as you desire.
Most rooms also have Display Slots. These allow you to decorate and personalize your rooms by showcasing various treasures you've collected in your journeys: art pieces, trophies, skulls, books, wine bottles, etc. In the future, these will give you certain benefits, like increasing your Prestige score.
We're including a frequently requested room: Portals. You can teleport to other towers that also contain a portal room.

This is what is coming Aug 10th.
Still to come in the near future:
Decorate and personalize the exterior of the tower.
Multi-block rooms. Basically the ability to build a bedroom beside a bedroom and it's one big bedroom OR upgrade a room to a larger size. We have the tech but haven't decided on the best approach yet.
More trophies available in world, like skulls from named elite monsters or commissioned art pieces.
Additional room types
