- Clans can increase port maintenance to add the following improvements
- Open access to port to everyone (declaring it neutral)
- Reduce labor hour costs in the town
- Increase NPC goods supply in the town
- Benefits and numbers are for testing purposes and might change
- If maintenance cost is not paid the town will turn back to neutral as government officials will abandon the town if not paid.
