Graphical review of the World Map

The graphics of the world map have been completely revised. All kingdoms now look much better!
This is a visual change so nothing has changed concerning how the map works.

Great World Cup Predictor

In keeping with the World Cup, the Herald will be hosting prediction games, where you can bet on the outcome of important games.
If you buy rubies on the day of the betting game you will get the chance to predict the winner of the match.
You can choose between either of the teams to win or that the game will end in a draw.
Choose correctly and you get a ruby bonus.
IMPORTANT NOTE: You will still get all the rubies that you have purchased and none will be lost by picking the wrong choice. The prediction game is only for a bonus on top of your purchase.
The available bonus will vary between matches.
The prediction game always starts on the day of the game and ends before kickoff.
Payment will be made the next business day (CEST). You will get an in-game message.
It is based on the result after regular time, without extension or penalties.

Other changes:

Soldiers are now prioritized according to their defense value on the wall. The higher the defense value, the more likely the soldier will get a place on the wall. For example, the Renegade troops are no longer disadvantaged.
When spying a castle the report shows which tools are on a wall section, but no longer show how many are stacked in each slot. For example, you will see that the opponent has on the left flank two slots with throwing stones, but cannot see how many are in each slot. This can complicate the targeted reduction of tools with mini- attacks.
The abandoning of an outpost can now be cancelled within 3 hours or starting.

As usual, you can discuss the update in the Discussion Thread here!

Regards,

Your Empire Team.
