    From the Ashes DLC is natural addition with decent amount of content that focuses on rebuilding of Pribyslavitz. That is the quest from sir Divish who lets you finance this project.

    The quest is accessible after completing Baptism of Fire. First you need to find his locator who will become your personal assistant and looks like the most important person of the place as he takes care of
    From the Ashes DLC is natural addition with decent amount of content that focuses on rebuilding of Pribyslavitz. That is the quest from sir Divish who lets you finance this project.

    The quest is accessible after completing Baptism of Fire. First you need to find his locator who will become your personal assistant and looks like the most important person of the place as he takes care of where to build what and has his own table since the beginning.

    If you want to start building, you have to put enough groschen to the chest in rathaus and later find the delivery traders who will sell you resources providing further buildings’ needs.

    Updated map of Pribyslavitz changes the old Cuman/bandit encampment.
    You get pretty strong mace for becoming the bailiff.
    Prologue and epilogue dialogues to DLC are nice.
    New scenes of built structures are short enjoyment.
    Simple and funny stories with locals when solving their disputes every day.
    New traders with few coins at start have more later.
    New horse head armor at forge and upgraded stable is unique.
    3 new better horses at the stables.
    Armorsmith has very good selection of high quality armors and unique strong shield.
    Dry meat in upgraded bakery, smoke it at upgraded butcher which turns stolen to normal.
    Gambling den with dice has 2 tables which provide side income activity.
    Herbs in garden regrow in a few and more days. There are almost all types of herbs.
    You can not build all available buildings in one game or choose all additional settlers.
    You can offer jobs to special NPCs which will increase profit and uniqueness.
    More you build, more villagers appear, full village has around 63-69, maybe less.
    New buildings add new inhabitants and opportunity to invite someone special.
    After rebuilding everything, you have steady income everyday.
    Later main quest objectives are also related to nearby areas of Pribyslavitz.
    It's on the edge of map in the woods surrounded by wild game spots.

    Guardhouse has arena and you can train unarmed as well.
    You can't talk to anyone unless they're quest related.
    You are not given your own bed, however you can sleep wherever you want.
    If rathaus is Henry's home, he must be very generous to share it with many people.
    Fritz, Mathias and Nicholas won't join me after end game.
    You can set building from the book and Marius will react.
    Marius chooses where to build. You need to follow him everywhere.
    You can't take down building once it's finished.
    Some NPCs deny your invitation, so you need to look further and hidden in between.
    Dice players seem to be little better than other ones, but still not a real challenge.
    Easy to manage good reputation.

    Building with Marius is repetitive. It takes few seconds and two in-game days.
    Dealing with delivery traders is almost same. Find and pay. No haggling except one.
    No challenge or rough decisions. It is simple. Choose higher or lower profit, never bad.
    I couldn't turn page in structure book. I had to load saved game.
    Cuman from quest Lost in translation is sitting in the village centre.

    Beehives produce 6 units of honey per day that is not accumulating.
    Brewery produces 1 unit of unique beer per day that is accumulating.

    You can build only between 6AM and 9PM. Income or expense is counted at 4AM.

    There are total of 11 different structures to see. 2 free appear after visit in Rattay.
    You can see, build, repair or have upgraded 28 different structures and advancements, 15 upgrades throughout multiple walkthroughs and stages of village rebuilding. 10 structures can be built, 8 can be upgraded of which 6 are exclusive buildings for 1 walkthrough. You either build Stable or Guardhouse, Butcher or Bakery, upgrade Forge to Blacksmith or Armorsmith. Each building provides different bonuses. You can choose only 3 of these. Labourer’s Camp, Woodcutter’s Camp, Beehives, Trader’s and Bridge with Road are required for further advancements. Rathaus and Church are the most expensive and only cost maintenance. Trader is essential for delivery of resources like charcoal, grain, livestock and stone. Rebuilding whole village costs around 90-91k Groschen and it takes about 5-10 hours to finish the quest related to it and daily disputes. If rushed, rebuilding can take under 2 hours. However, playing it mid-game can extend the time spent. I played it after 90 hours endgame. Village gives you a little over 2k Groschen per day at most without upgrading Rathaus and Church and 1.8k Groschen once it is fully upgraded. All additional guests invited to village increase profit over 300 Groschen together. Groschen from profits are added into the chest with the investments in Rathaus. After finishing the quest for sir Divish, you have no more job to do there besides activities. I acquired Armorsmith, Bakery and Stables as exclusive buildings so I might miss some points. Short extension of mid-game if you want to invest into idle village.

    For those at the end, this probably isn’t going to be the most enthralling.

    There's literally not reason to try out Kingdom Come: Deliverance - From the Ashes. It's pretty weak DLC that, instead of breathing new life into the core game, just adds a short, and not that engaging (or rewarding), quest line.

    If you are a new player, it fits in great with the game. If you're a returning player in hopes of getting new content, you will be very disappointed.
