- New building skins: As in “Busy Cities”, the DLC also brings new skins for some buildings. A medieval style for craftsmen’s and workers’ houses, the town hall, the chamber of commerce and the school.
- Completely new building variants: In addition to these skins, the church is also getting a huge upgrade and can be built as a completely new church model in the impressive medieval style.
- Burgmauern: According to the developers, the new city wall system, including archways and watchtowers, even lets you build small castles, which should not only inspire castles expert Fabiano.
- New floor panels: Last but not least, the new cobblestone floor tiles should ensure a well-rounded picture in your old towns.
