Deep Water — Ruinkeep Devlog

The game gets deeper. Diplomacy, Wonders, quest chains, and religion all ship in a single coordinated release — the first where the round doesn't end in pure military conquest.

• Diplomacy. Peace pacts and trade pacts between empires, with breakable terms and Herald drama when someone bails.
• Wonders of the Realm. Server-wide race-to-build projects. One Wonder completes per round; contributors get dynasty medals.
• Quest chains. Multi-step arcs that reward crowns and unlock unique unit upgrades.
• Religion. Found a cult, convert empires, earn passive bonuses. First-to-convert gets permanent dynasty medals.
• i18n scaffolding. English only at launch; strings are externalized for future locales.
