• Change: If a kingdom ruler is currently a citizen of a village that is creating a PMK, they must now be removed from the village first.

  • Instead, the next action that collects resources from that node will have a percentage penalty to the number of items they can get.
  • If a player stops after collecting 3 of 4 possible items for example, the next collect action from that node will have a 75% reduction in the number of items found.
