# Land Merge Mechanics

The Merge requires either 4 or 9 Land Plots to be burned to form a new entity - either an Estate (4 Land Plots) or a Province (9 Land Plots). The selected Land Plots **need to be staked** at that time.

Merging Lands into an Estate or Province also erects **pathways** and a **fence** on that new plot. This means any merge will need a certain amount of base resources to build those.

**Trait Inheritance Rules**

When merging Lands, the resulting Estate or Province **inherits the best value** of each trait from among the input Lands.

All 9 base traits are inherited, but only the **highest value** of each is kept:

* **Wood:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Stone:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Water:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Coal:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Iron:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Gold:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Crystal:** Large > Medium > Small > None
* **Soil:** Violet > Olive > Terracotta > Ochre > Brown
* **Sky:** Atomic > Sundown > Daylight > Sunrise > Golden > Lavender > Cloudy > Mint

For example: If **any** of the 4 or 9 Lands has **Large Iron**, the merged result gets **Large Iron**.

When creating an Estate or Province, additional **new traits** are generated:

Some of these traits are randomized within a range. By donating to the temple of Axomamma or using Divine Favor Token, the value range can be adjusted to the benefit of the player, eliminating lower range rolls.
