Hey Community,

With the next small update we will be updating some features on the world map thanks to your constructive suggestions:

• For castles, capitals, etc. the old name plates and icons are displayed again.
• The orientation of the graphics for castle and outposts is optimized.
• The spy icon is shown again at the castle. This affects all targets that you can spy.
• The diplomacy symbol for outposts, resource villages etc is now displayed smaller and displayed on the Castle graphic.
• The tents shown on resource villages when support has been sent are positioned closer to the village.
• The stone robber baron castles are smaller in all kingdoms.
• The size of the current armies on the world map will be reduced.
• The NPC fortresses (in ice, desert and volcano), capitals, trade metropolis and King towers are being scaled up to make them larger.
• The difference between the 6 and 8 outpost is clearer.
• A few decorative elements have been given more subtle colours.

For this small update, there will be no server downtime, so you will be able to continue to play as normal while the update is performed. The update will be happening tomorrow around 9:30-10:30 AM CEST.

You can discuss this update in the official discussion thread here.

Thank you all once again for your constructive feedback regarding the Map changes.

Regards,

Your Empire Team
