Forge of Empires Dev Tracker

Dear Queens and Kings,

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

Bugfixes

• We have fixed an exploit that allowed players to generate endless coins and supplies.
• We fixed a display issue (when collecting quest rewards) that showed the player receiving two blueprints, and this has been corrected, so only one blueprint is shown as being granted.

• There was an issue within a later quest within Space Age Asteroid Belt (Belt Influence) that prevented players from advancing without rel...

Dear Kings and Queens,


It is time to gather your shovel, brushes, and dynamite and dust off those boots—as your airship awaits! Channel your inner explorer as there are buried tombs to excavate, ancient wonders to see, mysteries to solve, and potentially a whole host of buried treasure to uncover! All of it awaits in our Archaeology Event!

The Archaeology event will return to Beta on March 9th and will run until March 30th!​

The Basics


Once the event begins, there will be an event dialogue in the top left corner allowing you to access the event.

You can read all about it here.  

Dear Kings and Queens,

We are proud to present a brand-new Age — Space Age Venus (SAV).

The Space Age Venus starts on March 8th, 2021​

After exploring the Asteroid Belt, mankind was able to obtain the resources necessary to survive and create more spaceships. However, we now have a problem with our food supplies. Due to increased demand from population growth, our food supplies are strained and new sources are required to maintain our outposts throughout the solar system.

Our renowned scientists were able to adjust the DNA of different plant species, in order to generate a new sustainable food source, and thereby produce even more than before. Nevertheless, these plants require way much more carbon dioxide and nitrogen to keep grow... Read more

​ Dear Kings and Queens,


We would like to clarify a misconception that has arisen regarding the slowdown that occurs during reoccurring quests. Please be aware, that this is a technical issue and not something that was ever part of our design.

To provide some context, for transparency purposes, we have been collecting feedback on quest abort exploits, and trying to figure out a way to tackle this. This week, we moved forward with an update that sets a limit on Quest Aborts to prevent this exploit, and the impact it has on our servers.

Unfortunately, as a byproduct, there was a technical issue that caused a slowdown during reoccurring quests. Due to unexpected circumstances, this then led to many players believing this was an intended feature.

Again, we would like to express this was not intended. The aim o... Read more

Friday

• Fixed an issue where the hotkeys didn't function properly
• Fixed an issue where the Galata Tower entry in the Town Hall didn't function properly
• Fixed an issue where the players' defensive era in the PVP Arena didn't update at the start of the new season if the player advanced an era during the past season

 

On the 25th of March we will be removing the Guild Forum on the Beta market.
You can read all about it here.  

Dear Kings and Queens,



In October last year, following improvements to the Message Center, we decided it was time to remove the Guild Forum. However, based on your feedback, we decided to take a step back and postpone. We did this in recognition of the reaction, as well as acknowledgement that further improvements to the Message Center were required in order for us to contemplate the removal once again.


Following our recent additions to the Message Center, it is now at the sufficient stage that we are comfortable removing the Guild Forum. While, we believe it is now time to remove the Guild Forums, we wanted still to provide you sufficient notice of this change. Therefore, please be advised, that Guild Forums will be removed from Beta on the 25th of March 2021, and live markets on the 22nd of April 2021.
