Topic: [330209] Update: Leprechauns, shamrocks and the return of Berimond!

[-330209] CM Evoke [None] :: March 7, 2017, 2:23 p.m.

Dear community,

We would like to present to you our latest update patch notes;

 More performance improvements

• Several performance issues related to the auto-recruitment system were spotted and fixed.

• This should help you enjoy Empire with a better level of performance!

• Again, in this update much of our effort was spent improving the overall stability of the game.
  

 Berimond is back!

It was the main topic of discussion for a long time, we had several tests to make sure the long standing problems would be fixed and now it’s time to see Leopold and Grimbert battling it out for the throne again!

• We made some technical changes to make sure the performance and stability of the event is more reliable

• In order to do so, we reduced the amount of movements visible:

• All your own direct movements will still be visible

• PvP movements of alliance members will be visible

• All other movements won’t be shown on the event map or the travel overview

• The Battle of Berimond is set to return on the 13th of March!

 Shamrock Fortress!

Expect leprechauns, shamrocks and pots of gold, but most of all a new version of the Robber Baron’s King!

• To celebrate this holiday, a themed version of the Robber Baron's King will be available for you to defeat.

• The Shamrock Fortress will have a different appearance based on the traditional symbols of this special occasion.

• You will find new units to defeat in the themed dungeon, inspired by the symbolism of St Patrick:

• Defeating the target dungeon will also grant you a look item that will transform one of your castles, outposts, metropolises or your capital into a St Patrick’s themed fortress for a period of 14 days.
  

You can ask questions about the update as usual HERE in this thread.

The update should take place tomorrow between the usual time of 10:00am and 01:00pm CET.

Best regards,
Your Empire Team
