Minor Cultures allow additional cultures to be created that may not have spawned when one or more land masses were generated and cultures spread across the land (meaning some races may not have a cultural representation). These minor culture will use any races that don’t appear in the predominate cultures of the land mass. This allows NPCs to be created from these minor cultures to allow for NPCs of any race that Apophenic Realms supports (based on subscription level).

Goals! An entire new goal system has been implemented. Goals have been added to NPCs (replacing short term objective and long term goal), PCs, Kingdoms and Organizations (replacing public and secret goals). Goals have additional attributes such as horizon (short, medium, and long) and visibility. They can also be linked together via Goal Link. Goal Links can link goals as parent, child, opposite, aligned, conflicts, or competes, and also have their own visibility.

GMs can manually setup Goal Links however the system will also suggest Goal Links for you! If it finds a match between the types of goals and who they benefit and/or who the goal focuses on, the system will suggest a link which you can accept or decline.
