Topic: [114022] Update: New Daily Tasks and Alliance Improvements

[-114022] CM Arcanine [None] :: Nov. 25, 2014, 9:42 a.m.

Hi Community,

The next update is coming, and with it you'll find the following features:

Glory Task Change

The daily task for gaining Glory has been split into 3 tasks.
It will also work retroactively. For example: If your tasks are to get 5, 10 and 20 Glory, earning 100 glory in one attack will fulfil all 3 tasks at once.
This change will make it easier for lower level players to complete more of their daily tasks.

Temporary Alliance Boosters

Along with the regular Alliance Bonuses, there are now some new ones that can be activated temporarily.
These are intended for large alliances that have an overstocked storage of resources and coins in their alliance funds, and are therefore only available to Alliances with a certain maximum number of members.
The effects available are: More glory for alliance members in attacks, faster support travel speed, a combat strength bonus for attacks and a combat strength in defense.
All of these effects can only be activated for a short amount of time, making it better to use them for actions that the alliance are participating in together.

Other Changes:

Castle lords that are lower than level 70 cannot send kingdom resources (coal, olive oil, glass) to other kingdoms anymore, going back to as it was before the Legend update.
Any kingdom resources that have already been transferred to kingdoms other than their origin will be frozen and usable again once you reach level 70.
A countdown will now be displayed in the final minutes of special offers.
This lets players know that the offers are about to expire, so they can take advantage of them before they do.
Some premium buildings that were previously indestructible can now be demolished.
The Mercenary Post has been revised. Launching missions is now cheaper, but missions will take longer.
Players who have reached Legend Level 10 will unlock a new premium decoration.
The first three levels of the Barracks have received new visuals.
Some decorations that are obtained through events have been upgraded. These changes also apply to the same decorations that you already own.

As usual, some more bugs have been fixed with this update.

Keep some space in your storehouse! We'll present you with a resource gift to make up for the frozen kingdom resources!

Heya folks, just to expand on this point:

I've been informed that the temporary boosters actually require Rubies to use. Apologies for not announcing this to you sooner!

Regards,

Steve.
