Hello Kings and Queens,

The update to 1.43 will take place on Thursday 22nd January. We have focused on bugfixing and some various small improvements, including a few that were suggested by you - our players.
There will be a short period of downtime during the update, we apologize for this little inconvenience.

A question that might be bothering you - where is version 1.42? This update in fact combines both versions 1.42 and 1.43 in one bigger package.

Improvements and changes

A new way of displaying long numbers
It was the case for a while now, that the very long numbers did not always fit their allotted space. To solve that problem, very long numbers are now abbreviated in various places of the game.

Attached/Unattached units filter
This is a feature that was requested some time ago by you - our players. We have added a new filter in the army management that will allow you to display only attached or unattached units, according to your current needs.

Other improvements

• The PvP Army Management window received some polishing touches.

• When hovering over a guild's sector, all of the guild's sectors are now highlighted.

• Some texts and tool tips in the game were slightly improved and adjusted.

• Time display in some places was improved.

• Tutorial received lots of minor changes that, although not directly visible, should make things more obvious to new players.

• An Aid-related entry is now added to the event history, when an Aid action was not possible.

• If the tournaments are running, it is now easily possible to reach all the PvP rankings from the ages that you have already conquered via the event history.
