Brave warriors,

Here is our patch notes summary for the upcoming update!

Features:

• Monthly Content Package for January 2018 [LINK]

• New and updated achievements

• New packages for the armorer

• New reward for the Royal Quest Campaign
  

New Server vs. Server Tournament

"Winter Assault" is the third edition of the competitive tournament between servers, following on from the Battle of Nations and the Nations Cup. It will be an additional event to the in-game invasions; more detailed information with a list of rewards and rules will follow a little later.

Additional Changes:

• New premium decoration "Spirit of nature" (PO 230) will be available for you in the Construction menu.
  
  
• We will add 5 new presets to improve the attack planning process to be more convenient for you. Here are the prices for new additional presets:
      ...
  6. 10000
  7. 10500
  8. 11000
  9. 11500
  10. 12000
• We will adjust the spy system in the Attack of the Shapeshifters event to protect the anonymity of participating players. After the update, players will not receive a failed spy report if they caught the opponent's spies. This change will be active only in the Attack of the Shapeshifters event and it will start working in the next iteration of the event (not in the current one). 
  

Upcoming Events - February 2018

 Ice Championship (9th of February-1st of March)
"Winter Assault" Server vs. Server Tournament (9th of February-1st of March)
 Samurai Invasion (1st-5th of February)
 War of the Realms (5th-9th of February)
 Nomad Invasion (NO Khan's Revenge) (9th-12th of February)
 War of the Bloodcrows (12th-16th of February)
 The Battle for Berimond (12th-16th of February)


Some changes to the events schedule are still possible. We will update the list HERE if any adjustments are necessary. 
The schedule for the Attack of the Shapeshifters, and Invasions after 16th of February will be added at a later point as soon as the dates are confirmed.

Bug Changelog:

• Nomad invasion: The "Next reward" section showed last achieved reward in Herald of the Invasion camp instead of next reward.
• Quests: "Friend of a true king" quest was shown with the wrong logo and with the wrong tab icon.
• Royal quests: Quest with the condition "Donate coins" could not be fulfilled. (Not in this Kingdom error)
• Shapeshifter: Attacking a camp from an outpost during daily reset, moves troops to the main castle after the battle.
• World Map: There was a weird empty space in the middle of the world map on HIS server.
• Occupation: Tools were not returned to attacking player after a canceled occupation. Tools were transferred to an owner of the outpost in this case. To avoid further exploits and as the system should not work like that - we fixed it now. In the case of occupation cancelation, tools will be returned to their owner. 
• Resources: Coins were not capped and after getting more than 2147483647 coins the number reset to 0.
• War of Realms and Bloodcrow invasion: Rewards iterations were repeated between two set items.

The plan is to release the update on 29th of January 2018. The Downtime is planned to be around ~120 minutes. But as always, do not take this as guaranteed, be aware of possible delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

Dear players,

We are aware of the issue with the “Protector of the Realm” achievement. This feature was implemented in such a way that the level of the achievement was used as a basis for transition and not the number of defeated castles. For example, everyone who had achieved level 3 on this achievement before the update, and was working towards 80 achievement points, was moved to a higher level (in this case level 4) with the defeated castles stat reset to 0.

Even if some players have received free achievement points, we understand that this transition was not performed in an ideal manner, as we equated players who had 999 defeated castles to those who had only 300 defeated castles, raising them to the same level.

Unfortunately, we cannot fix this issue and separate these players anymore. With this update, we simplified the progression for all players in this achievement and we hope it will help you to advance faster in the “Protector of the Realm” achievement, as the requirements were decreased considerably. We will not perform any bugfix in order to solve this issue.

Unfortunately, we are not able to offer compensation to any player in regards to this issue, additionally, our Customer Support teams will not be able to assist you further with this matter.

We are very sorry for inconvenience,

Your Empire Family
