Some configuration changes are taking place on the test environment right now, hence some difficulties may occur (e.g. getting kicked out of the game more often than usually). We will keep you updated.

Update:
All tasks are done, hence difficulties should not occur anymore.

Dear players,

with todays new version we proudly introduce to you the Epic Work Yard (Wood Yard). Details about the new building can be found in your local forum in the latest dev diary. Of course we also have so changes and bugfixes for you.

NEW FEATURE
• Introduction of the Epic Workyard

CHANGES
• Production cycle starts again after
   moving a building

BUGFIXES
• Greyed out Militia Refiller is
   clickable on Homezone
• Percentage is visible during
   building upgrades
• Book production time resets after
   upgrade and move of the
   bookbinder
• 'Resource missing' symbol
   appears instead of
   'Production stopped'
• Erroneous description in "Economy overview" feature
• Wrong amount of Hired Tropps in coop adventures
• Cancellation of waiting guild quest messes up quest statuses

There will be an account wipe with this version!

We also ask you to help us with a load test again between 15:15 and 20:00h (CEST). Focus of the test is of course the functionality of the Epic Workyard, the fixes and performance in general. So please try to create as much load as possible! If the server is too crowded and you cannot log in, don't worry,  this means the community is about to reach the goal. UPDATE: Thank you for participating!

The game will be open for playing at approx. 15:15h (CEST).

Note: The Epic Workyard cannot be moved after building, it's needed for the test!
Of course this will not be the bevahiour in the final version.

Have fun testing,
