Dear Community,
with our next update you can expect the following changes:

- There will be new tools that are designed for the Invasion of the Foreign Empire and Berimond
- These tools will only work in the events they were designed for and can be used in fights against other players (in Berimond) and NPCs
- You will only be able to purchase them in Prime Days
- The tool types are as follows:
- Berimond: Ladder, glory banner, shield, ram, moat, bravery tool (a new Berimond exclusive tool that grants bonus points towards the event when used in combat)
- Invasion of the Foreign Empire: Ladder, glory banner, shield, ram, moat

- The cooldown duration will be cut down from 24 hours to only 6 hours

- There will be a quest with the completion condition to refer a friend
- This quest will be available in 3 different forms, for different level ranges
- Be quick! When this quest appears, it will be on a timer, meaning it will disappear after a period of time if not completed


You can discuss the update as usual HERE in the discussion thread.
When the update is taking place will be announced at a later date!
Best regards,
Your Empire-Team

Morning guys,
We've added some additional content to this mornings update. The following features will also be implemented:
New Units, Tools and Buildings
New Event: Wrestlemania
Other Changes
Todays update has been slightly postponed in order to prepare this content for release.
Regards,
Steve.
We've added some additional content to this mornings update. The following features will also be implemented:

- Combat Bears and Lions are now available via a new Berimond construction, the Holding Pens
- These units will only work in Berimond, and will either consume food, or troops, depending on their mood
- Catapults have been introduced as an offensive tool
- These Catapults will reduce the enemies wall strength by 100%, but will require Outhouses as ammunition
- After the success of the Wheel of Fortune, the Jester has decided to branch out her operation into a new building, the Circus
- Every day, players will have a chance to enter the Circus and pay 10,000 coins to receive a mystery prize
- The prize could be troops, tools, food, VIP time, a castle-wide increase in public order, a huge decrease in public order for 24 hours (terrible performance, must try harder), or brand new units, Harlequins.
- Harlequins are a 300 ranged and melee offensive unit that consume no food, but have a 65% chance to misdirect their attacks at your own army. Use them at your own risk!
- Finally, a new building, the Gym (available at level 55) will give players access to the Bodybuilding unit.
- This unit will consume double the food of most other units, and is exclusively available on the USA server.

- 'nuff said

- The Shady Character event is now permanent.
- Due to some discussion over whether the naming was appropriate, Demon Horrors and Deathly Horrors have been renamed to Huggable Honeys and Happy Hamsters accordingly
- Voice Chat has been enabled, with one channel for every server.
- To go alongside with this, a cover of "Tribute" can now be sung instead of paying resource Tribute
- Radio Empire is now live! Tune in to your favourite CM's singing top class hits all day long
- The Bi-Annual No Thornking Empire Roast will happen on a thursday this year, yummy.
- The Alchemist and Barterer have been kidnapped by the Prince. Thoughts go out to their families.

Todays update has been slightly postponed in order to prepare this content for release.
Regards,
Steve.

Hey everyone,
Apologies for the delay, but to iron out some small issues the update is taking longer than expected. We'll hopefully have it up and running within the next couple of hours.
