From the Ashes

From the Ashes is the first major DLC expansion for Kingdom Come: Deliverance. It was released on 6 July 2018 for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, and was included in the game's Royal Edition. The DLC introduces a new gameplay mechanic that allows you to participate in the reconstruction and management of the village of Pribyslavitz, adding a layer of town-building and economic strategy to the core game.

Following the events of the main storyline, Sir Divish of Talmberg tasks Henry with overseeing the restoration of the ruined village that was recently liberated from bandits. As bailiff, Henry must manage resources, decide which buildings to construct, resolve disputes among settlers, and oversee the village's finances. The DLC blends economic planning with narrative choices that affect the village's development and prosperity.

The expansion is integrated into the main game and can be played alongside other quests. It includes new side quests, activities, and unique characters, and offers the opportunity to obtain new items and a regular stream of income through development of the village.

The expansion is accessible after completing the main quest Baptism of Fire. It begins with the side quest A Place to Call Home, which introduces Henry's new responsibilities.

Description[]

The first DLC for Kingdom Come: Deliverance introduces an entirely new type of adventure! You have an opportunity to participate in building a new village from the ground up and experience first-hand what it was like to create a new settlement.

As a newly appointed bailiff, you must decide what buildings to erect and what people to bring in, and you must also settle disputes between the villagers. Each building is unique and comes with its own upgrades, material and labour requirements, so you will face some difficult decisions.

A bailiff's lot is not an easy one, but he can still enjoy some fun after a hard day's work. Get yourself one of the new horses available and take it for a ride, throw a few dice against seasoned players in your new local tavern, match your skills against variously skilled opponents in your combat arena or just rest at home in your own comfortably furnished house.

After you and your comrades-in-arms drove the bandits out of Pribyslavitz, the village was once again left to be slowly swallowed up by the woods. A shame - before being plundered by a renegade Lord, it was no doubt a sprawling, bustling hamlet, judging by the size of the ruined church there, which is all that's left as a remainder of its former prosperity.

You always wondered why the folk never went back to live there, so you were pleasantly surprised to learn that Sir Divish has plans for his former hamlet. You don't know exactly what he has in mind, but you'll be glad to have a hand in it. You're sure to find out in Talmberg what needs to be done.

Features[]

Town Management: You can choose which structures to build first (e.g., a tavern, guardhouse, stables, or trader's house), each with unique benefits and ongoing costs.
Economic System: Pribyslavitz has its own budget and income; you must fund initial construction and ensure the settlement becomes self-sufficient over time.
Dispute Resolution: As bailiff, you arbitrate conflicts between settlers and influence the moral direction and culture of the town.
No Time Limits: You can develop Pribyslavitz at your own pace without consequences for delaying progress.
