Update to 1.22

Dear Kings and Queens,

A display for unattached units is one of the features that will be live with the next game update. The update to 1.22, which will take place on Wednesday, March 19th, also features several other changes and additions that result from feedback from players across the world.

Please note there will be a short period of downtime during the update, and we apologise for any inconvenience caused by this.



Unattached units display


It's now possible to see at a glance whether or not a unit is unattached. When activated, unattached units in your army management screen will appear with a gold banner across the top of their portrait:

To view the banner, you need to activate the unattached units display from within your game settings page:

To answer some questions we have seen elsewhere about the reasoning behind the setting option: The army management screen is already quite complicated, so adding a game setting option means that we don't need to add further complexity to the army management screen, which can be confusing for new players. However, once a player becomes more advanced, it can be activated to provide a instant display of unattached units.


Trade expiration


We've added an expiration date to trades. After 7 days, any trades you create will be removed from the trade screen. This means that any trade spam won't hang around in your trade window forever, and you no longer need to remember to delete your own trade offers, either.

To see how long is left before a trade offer expires, simply hover over the action button for the offer:

Playback of your own attacks


Ever wondered how the auto-combat option managed to lose a battle for you? Well, now you can play every fight back, not only the battles when you are defending. At the bottom of the battle results screen you will now see an action replay button, which allows you to play back your fights.

More accessible GvG maps


In order to make lower age maps more accessible to players from earlier ages, the maximum bonus for each age will be set according to the following table (Max Outpost Bonus/Max HQ Bonus):

MapMax outpost bonusMax HQ bonus
Iron Age0%25%
EMA10%35%

LMA30%55%

GB level up item information


Recently we announced that we would soon be adding a level-up item to players' inventories who had one of the military boost Great Buildings (Statue of Zeus, Cathedral of Aachen, Castel del Monte). The item will not be in the next update, however we haven't forgotten about it and it'll be added at a later date.
