Changelog 1.245

Dear Kings and Queens,

The update to 1.245 will take place on Wednesday 7th December 2022. There will be a short downtime during the update. We apologize for any inconvenience caused during this time.

Important! It is the last changelog of this year. We will merge the next two versions into one release and that will happen next year.

For a detailed description of the changes, please see the list below:

Changes

  • The Guild Description now has a limit of 10k characters. Unfortunately, longer descriptions were messing with the load times. If the description of your Guild is longer than that, it will be shortened during the update. On the worlds where such Guilds reside, we have announced it via an in-game message.
  • Remember the Log Cabin? We noticed that the Trade Coins and Gemstones in the Antiques Dealer were not up to date with their stats. They were adjusted.
Improvements

Enjoy using the Antiques Dealer but miss some buildings? We're adding brand-new old buildings to the rotation! Check the list below, maybe it's something for you:

Auction:
  • Athlon Abbey Selection Kit
  • Mountain Reserve Selection Kit
  • Pirate Hideout Selection Kit
  • Pirate Reef Selection Kit
  • Golden Crops Selection Kit
Shop:
  • Harvest Farm Selection Kit
  • House of Horror Selection Kit
  • Winter Bakery Selection Kit
  • Vineyard Estate Selection Kit
  • Vineyard Fields Selection Kit
  • Druid Temple Selection Kit

Bugfixes

  • Some of you have accumulated a fortune in Forge Points. Numbers higher than 1 Million were not displayed correctly in the Great Building window. We have replaced them with smart numbers, so it should now be better. But please consider hiring an accountant to keep track of these.
  • Adding a boost via the overview window displayed the wrong boost duration value for Limited Buildings. We fixed it, so now you can see the accurate information there.
Mobile Only Changes

This is the mobile section of the changelog. These are things that you won't see on the desktop version of the game and only concern the mobile interface or functionality. Keep in mind that the time the mobile update becomes available depends on the stores and can be some days after the release of the browser version. So don't be surprised if you don't see the update on your devices just yet.

Incidents
  • Purple Chest incidents would stay put even if you placed an expansion in the same spot. They are now automatically removed in such cases.
  • These chests would also hijack the normal incidents' spot and place themselves on top. Rude behaviour! It will no longer happen.
Buildings
  • Tooltips for some buildings would display the wrong boost and population values in the mobile app. We have now cleaned up this discrepancy.
  • Reaching the Forge Point collection limit once, spending some of them again, and collecting a building like the Stage of Ages sometimes did not work. It works now.
  • By design, you need to have enough population to upgrade the Terrace Farm to the next level. The error message that would pop up if you tried to upgrade without the population was just a vague internal error. We have now added a more specific one.
Inventory
  • Opening a Boost Crate did not display the received Boost in the Inventory right away.

In the meantime, our developers are working on the next couple of Events already and creating some general improvements for you! If you would like to be informed about our features in development, please visit our Beta servers, or check the Mobile Beta Test Program.

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team
