- 1-4 cave slots by map size, 50% each (at least one); knight treasure caves only where a mission places them
- dwarves fight intruders near the cave, never chase far, heal at home, grow with distance and the player's army, never count for victory
- rune chest: one free rune forge tower (chain bolt to three more enemies), upgradeable for gold, sold once it comes back (next mission / free play at once), unbuilt ones carry over
- new tool (key N) shown in the tower menu while a rune tower can be built or upgraded

- New Game dialog with map width/height (steps of 32), remembered in settings
- map dimensions are per game; renderer chunks, minimap and camera follow them

- treasure caves with rich gold, guarded by hero squads that hold their post
- marked blocks: translucent yellow box with outline on all edges
- savegame v2: packed run-length encoded tiles (256x256 map ~320 KB), v1 still loads
- tests: savegame round trip on 96x128, 256x256 generation/simulation/save
