Hello Kings and Queens,
As you know our team has been diligently working on the Colonial age, and the final steps are being taken to complete the new age for all our dedicated players. If you remember correctly it was only this year that players ventured into the stone age and hunted for bones and pottery. That feels like yesterday, but it was, of course, “ages” ago. We have shown many previews and leaked information about the Colonial age before, but we would like to point out that this new page in history is a true milestone for the community and the Innogames Team. We took great care to insure that each age has a distinct feel and atmosphere to it, and our new age is no different. We can say with pride that the next continuation in history will truly be the best age we have ever created. The care and detail that was poured into the artwork is amazing and the new battle features are not just a “skin” change. We have noticed a lot of interest for this new age by our community, and we are happy to announce the release date for the age that will occupy our mouse buttons for the next months. We thank everyone for contributing to the current state of the game, and look forward to your feedback and thoughts about the Colonial Age. Thank you for playing our Game!
Update 0.18 will be implemented on the EN server on October 8th, 2012. A short downtime may occur due to the update. Also please be aware that additional downtime on that day may follow if we encounter bugs. We thank you in advance for your patience and consideration.
With the update to 0.18 we introduce a completely new age called the "Colonial Age". We have added tons of content for your pleasure!
