Another Elders’ Meeting (Part 2)

Anyway, now that Alterra had upgraded to a Town, they would no longer have to 'block' visitors from coming en masse. However, the requirements for residencies would definitely increase. 

This was something they had planned a long time ago in order to control the burst of population inevitably coming in. They didn't want to get into a situation where they had to block people again just to stop an upgrade. 

 Speaking of population, they got a lot of Prisoners of War this time —thousands of them, excluding the ones dead and on death row. 

They did not expand and did not need to build new buildings (for now), but it didn't mean that such a large new labor force wasn't needed. 

They could actually use a lot of new miners because they found a nice resource in Alterra for them to mine.
