Open source matters

These readings are deliberately left open and configurable. They are labelled provisional everywhere they surface, are never presented as settled source fact, and do not block publishing.

Resolved / settled source decisions (3)
  • Seasonal base income
    Resolved

    Settled and authoritative: each noble receives base income at the start of every season - Spring 1,600, Summer 1,800, Autumn 2,000, Winter 2,200 Crowns. Setup grants the Spring income; the older 1,500/1,600/1,700/1,800 table, the 800-Crown half-Spring stipend and midseason split income are superseded.

  • Proving card branch semantics
    Resolved

    All 72 source Proving branches are resolved: the designer clarification established every printed amount/reward, and the owner visually verified the 18 previously lost alternatives on the current Noble Cards sheets (4 print the shuttered-market-stall symbol, 14 the writing/plan-desk symbol; none prints a Crown amount). All 36 cards are production-eligible.

  • Market item costs and effects
    Resolved

    Settled by design: three Market items are current-authoritative and playable (Ledger of Wisdom 300, Estate Butler 300, Reinforced Vault Door 600). Five remain legacy/withheld by deliberate decision (Merchant's Permit, Banner of Honor, Lord Redwood's Insight, Lady Silverbrook's Favor, Lord Ashmont's Strategy); their legacy effects are preserved as metadata and never execute. Intentional withholding is not a readiness defect.

Status: Draft → Validate → Publish available.

All 8 sections report Ready. No genuine defect, missing art or failed validation remains; the provisional notes above are intentional and stay visible after publishing.

Game configuration

Values marked source-confirmed come straight from the current authoritative materials. Values marked provisional are deliberately open, editable configuration - labelled, never presented as settled fact, and not a publish blocker.

AUTHORITATIVE: 4 seasons, 8 turns per season, 32 turns in total, equal turns for every noble, and the game ends after the final turn of the final season. PROVISIONAL: only the scheduling interpretation of those statements and the exact board-space order - both stay intentionally open and editable and do not block publishing. Seasonal base income is authoritative. The obsolete "32 turns per player" wording is not used anywhere.

Income is authoritative: each noble receives base income at the START of each season (Spring 1,600 · Summer 1,800 · Autumn 2,000 · Winter 2,200). The older 1,500/1,600/1,700/1,800 table, the 800-Crown half-Spring stipend and midseason split income are superseded.
