Changelog

7-17-2026
*Fixed: Edge case where a defender may have 0 garrison yet still win a defense if their Guard Towers are able to zero out the attacking force.

7-15-2026
*Improvement: Arena Market now has the option to run a Premium Forge for +50% cost to get guaranteed item level and better affix values.
*Improvement: Arena Forge now has a Fusion Forge option to combine 3 like-items to create 1 new better quality item. Combine 3 of the same equip slot (neck, finger, back) to generate that same equip slot item type and also get a higher chance of generating a more powerful rarity. Combine 3 random items of the same rarity to get a more powerful rarity random item (with small chance to get very powerful item).
*New Feature: Players will now all start with a random champion from tier-1. To get a tier-2 champion will require upgrading a tier-1 unit with an Ascension once reaching level 10. Ascending the unit resets its level and experience and rerolls their attributes, you do get to keep the equipment equipped back to your inventory. Once a tier-2 unit reaches level 10 they have the option of ascending again, which will reset them to a level 1 random tier-2 unit with rerolled attributes. The benefit of ascending a tier-2 unit is that you may have wanted a different tier-2 unit, the ascended tier-2 unit will also gain +1 attribute points to spent on each level up (the +1 stacks each time you upgrade the tier-2 unit).

7-10-2026
*Improvement: Nexus MP Bank (unlockable upgrade) now earns 0.2% interest per tick on banked MP.

7-9-2026
*New Feature: The market’s Spellcraft (spell market) section now has a Scheduled Contracts tool, you can schedule a contract to be posted on a set schedule, and you can make it repeatable. Because a repeatable contract may change price bands based on your kingdom size over time, the contracts are dynamic and you have the pricing option to use the low, middle, or high end of your price band at the time the contract posts.
*Improvement: Magic page spell picker dropdowns now default to a non-spell “pick a spell” selector to avoid picking the wrong spell. Ratio box now defaults to being empty.

7-8-2026
*Improvement: Updated messages/notifications when a Spell Market contract is fulfilled so the buyer and caster get better descriptive messages – including for offensive spells the target will be informed the offensive spell (truesight, fireball, etc) was cast via contract and the buyer of that contract (their true enemy) is unknown.
*Improvement: Contracts in the Spell Market that will naturally auto-fail due to ks rules (truesight, fireball, earthquake) will now be blocked so the caster doesn’t waste their time attempting to cast.
*Improvement: Armory/Building/Military pages will now only accept 1 press of the build/train buttons, help prevent accidental double-clicks.

7-7-2026
*Improvement: In Supply Needs section in The Province you can now specify the exact amount of a resource you need. Allies can click on your requested resource and send it directly from The Province page. Also, resource requests expire after 48 hours.

*New Feature: New province diplomacy option in The Province section, now you can vote to disable chat moderation for your province chat, fudge yeah!

7-3-2026
*New Feature: New tech tree user interface “Atlas Tree” now available in the Preferences Technology UI section. This new tech view draws inspiration from Civilization and features “cards” in a tree you can scroll through. This is a nice compromise between classic and advanced that blends modern features/design with the added functionality of viewing the techs and deciding which direction to take them (extra emphasis was made to make the “choose your path” techs clearer).

7-2-2026
*Improvement: Armory Quick Calc added to armory page, you can input how many of each troop you want to train and it will automatically add the necessary armory items to your build inputs.
*Improvement: Thardferr continental map on PHOF updated to include more functionality and details, including dynamic borders that will expand/contract daily as provinces increase/decrease in size (this is updated once daily for performance reasons, so it won’t usually match the actual live data 100%). You can click on a province to get more details and stats about it as well.
*Improvement: Armory unit calc now has a “tick” column, so you can put the amount of armory on build as needed to train x-ticks worth of units. Also, checkbox to have the calc load as opened by default or closed.
*New Feature: Bot button in orb chat removed, replaced by “File” button, now you can upload images directly into the chat stream, you can also store up to 3 media files in your own personal “quick save” slots. In addition to the normal image formats, you can also upload mp3 and mp4 for sound and video files. You can also paste a youtube url and it will automatically convert into an embedded video in the chat stream.

7-1-2026

6-24-2026
*Fixed: Gnome Rider unit was getting sharper blades and slinger techs compounded in their short range attack. Updated to make sling tech only affect the short range and sharper blades only affect the melee – this will be unique behavior for this unit because we wanted to give it the added enhancement for sling tech, but don’t want to make it OP by shifting the sharper blades tech on top of the sling tech (like sharper blades normally does for any unit with short range attack).
*New Feature: The same queue manager in the building section is now available in the military and armory sections.
*New Feature: Changelog now appears in-game as a dismissible kingdom notification.
*Fixed: Kingdom notification changelog to include a cache buster and extended timeout (this is a test).

*New Feature: New spell “Mana Burn”, allows caster to send wizards to fight against enemy wizards, or use Magic Potions (MP) to burn the enemy’s supply of MP.

*Improvement: Elf’s Caragous and Undead’s Abomination Caragous units drastically changed to make them more usable general units. Their special abilities to increase attack/defense based on opponents army size was removed and replaced by a healing factor (based on your army’s composition) and unit attributes of 7 melee, 8 defense, 1 short.

10-23-2025
Fix: Casting Success Chance model was buffing cast attempts X50 depending on value of ksratio, giving a greater buff depending on ks difference of target (extreme runaway buff at very low differences possible).
Fix: Earthquake spell always cast with power of 100k wizards, meaning you can cast with 200 wizards and the damages would be calced with 100k wizards. This was a bug in an anti-multi trap meant to EQ a multi that matched conditions.

10-13-2025

*Fix: Market Ledger buyer/seller will display properly now, + fixed language file.

7-14-2025
