Dear Kings and Queens,


This update focuses on small but important visual and usability improvements and lots of bug-fixing, while work continues in the background on some larger new features which are coming soon.

Rebalancing of units and great buildings

In this update, there are some changes to great building bonuses and battle unit points which are intended to make the game more balanced as a whole. This may mean that you will notice a decrease/increase in points gained for killing certain types of units, or the bonus for a great building will change. However, we believe these changes (detailed below) will make gameplay fairer across the ages.

Unit points balancing
When you kill units in battle, the number of battle points gained depends on the type of units you have killed. The number of points gained for most of these units has been adjusted. The difference is slight for most units, with the most significant changes in Colonial age units Musketeer and Fields guns (point increase) and a reduction in points for killing Berserkers from the High Middle Ages.

New values are listed in the spoiler below (for killing the unit from full health at 100% happiness):
