Wartales got a new DLC last week, The Tavern Opens, which lets players run their own fantasy bar within the game.
On top of letting you manage your own business, the new DLC also adds new regions, combat encounters, and gameplay features. The game's developer, Shiro Games, added features such as fast travel in the new DLC.

The company noted that the new update is taking a "management and simulation" direction. The Tavern Opens lets players manage their very own tavern, including meeting the needs of their customers and making sure that their business is the best in the region.
Managing your own fantasy bar includes overseeing features such as the building's decor, the hiring and firing of workers, and even choosing what goes on the menu. Shiro Games said that running a tavern successfully will let players gather "wealth and prestige for your troop," according to TechRaptor.
This seems to suggest that tavern management will also have a positive effect on the main Wartales campaign as well. What's more, your tavern won't be the only one in the land and you will have to outdo your competitors if you want to be the best.
Fighting against other taverns includes gaming enough popularity to outshine them or using some more underhanded methods. The main Wartales game can be relatively dark and gritty, so having a lighthearted tavern experience can be a good change of pace for the game.

The game puts players in the shoes of someone who leads a band of mercenaries in search of adventure, fortune, and glory. Wartales already has a 91% Steam rating that comes from more than 21,000 user reviews.
On top of earning money, running your own tavern lets your troops earn experience as they will be the ones who work in the shop. There are also some exclusive rewards that can only be acquired through this feature of the DLC, said PCGamesN.
Managing Your Own Tavern
In Wartales, there are 14 different factions that can show up and each has their own unique requirements and preferences. Players will have to decide how to best appeal to their target audience to become more popular.
You can learn new recipes, even specialty dishes, and engage in some subterfuge to go undercover at rival establishments and learn their own secret recipes. You could even just straight up take their profits to create chaos.
After upgrading your tavern, you will also serve more customers, stock your cellars with higher-quality alcohol, and adjust prices to match your growing reputation in the land. When you grow large enough, you will have an option to upgrade your location.
The Tavern Opens DLC also lets players brew their own alcohol and is a profession that is taken in the same way as any other profession. It's a great new addition because it gives bonuses to both Constitution and Critical Hit Chance.
This means that not only do your troops have more health, so they can soak up more damage, but they can also dish out more destruction on the battlefield, according to ProGameGuides.
