Topic: [106214] Update: Changes to the Storm Islands.

Hey community,

The month of May is upon us and we look forward to the appointment of the first of the Storm Lords in Empire.
But before we stride into May, there is still an update of the Storm Islands for you! We will perform this update on 30.4. in order to enable a smooth start in the new round of the kingdom.

In this update, the following awaits you:

ggempire-iconxtaak.pngFurther developed starting castles & food production
The starting castle for all newcomers to the island kingdom has been significantly expanded and now has another building ground expansion as well as walls, gates and towers being increased to level 3. In addition there are now four level 9 farm houses and a level 3 mill at the start.
You will now also start with a fairly high amount of food already in stock, so along with the other new features players are significantly more competitive from the beginning!




ggempire-iconxtaak.pngOther changes
The upgrading of cargo ships will be slightly more expensive at higher levels and need longer to complete.
Resource Islands will not give as much aquamarine as before and will also be more difficult to attack.
You will be able to earn more aquamarines by completing the repeatable quests
The cooldown time for the resource islands has also been changed.



Since a new round will start on 01.05, we want to share the plans for future improvements of the Kingdom with you. We want to include these changes in the course of the coming month of May, so it is possible that still details will change and also include other aspects.

Here is a little insight into what is to come:

ggempire-iconxtaak.pngMore Alliance rewards
We see that the rewards points from 5000, 90,000 and 200,000 are too far away from each other and therefore we will soon add additional reward points between the existing limits.

ggempire-iconxtaak.pngMore goods at Luna
Since Luna currently only offers a few things at her ship, we will add many additional offers in exchange for aquamarines.
The special island troops will be made effective for glory hunters, since these warriors will no longer sacrifice themselves if they meet opened gates.

These are not things that will necessarily be included the next update - the changes made here will come at some point in May.

Since this is a permanent kingdom there will be further exciting enhancements before and during during future rounds.

You can discuss these changes here!

Regards,

Your Empire Team.
