| 0s | Welcome to the Forge of Empires end-of-year recap! Join us as we look back upon key game releases and |
|---|---|
| 7s | community-voted suggestions implemented this year and make sure to subscribe to |
| 12s | our YouTube channel/like our Facebook page to never miss any news about your favorite game. |
| 17s | Let's start with eight major game updates and view some community stats at the end of the video. |
| 24s | 1. 2024 marks the end of an era with the shutdown of the Guild vs. |
| 30s | Guild feature. But as we said goodbye to it, we paved the way for another, |
| 35s | brand-new collaborative feature for Guilds — the Quantum Incursions! |
| 39s | In the first year since its release, we've had four multiple-season Championships with varying |
| 45s | rewards and continued to establish the Quantum Incursions as an integral part of the game. |
| 51s | 2. Next, we've released a new Cultural Settlement — Polynesia! With its blue waters |
| 58s | and tranquil landscapes, it has surely provided a much-needed distraction from the grey sky |
| 64s | outside. But that was not the only change! The whole Settlements feature has undergone a major |
| 70s | overhaul, and older reward buildings have become more powerful to match the effort spent on them. |
| 76s | 3. Sometimes, a simple button can make a big impact. Like the Replace Units one |
| 82s | we've added this year, allowing players to swap their selected army in certain |
| 87s | game areas with one click, which made battles faster and easier than before. |
| 93s | 4. The Historical Allies! For now in their first iteration, |
| 97s | only establishing their core functionality, the Historical Allies is the latest addition |
| 103s | to our game systems. Inspired by real-life historical figures, |
| 107s | these in-game advisors will provide bonuses to your army and in the future other stats. |
| 114s | 5. Our historical journey through the Ages has grown bigger this year |
| 119s | with the addition of the Space Age: Space Hub. Although not an easy feat, |
| 124s | space exploration will surely spice up your gameplay. |
| 127s | 6. To offer our existing players a chance to start over with their Cities and open a new |
| 134s | playground for our newcomers, we have created five new game worlds on some of our servers. |
| 141s | 7. This year was all about the Guilds. Another collaborative feature of ours, the Guild |
| 147s | Battlegrounds, has also received a major update and now features the use of defensive army boosts, |
| 154s | various interface and usability improvements, as well as improved Guild matchmaking. |
| 160s | We've hosted four Battleground seasons with year with varying powerful reward buildings. |
| 166s | 8. We opened two community votes where players could choose features they wanted |
| 171s | to see in the game. Over 131 thousand of you voted in two surveys! We want |
| 178s | to thank everyone who shared their feedback and helped us shape the future of the game! |
| 183s | Thanks to your votes, we have made City and Inventory management easier, |
| 188s | and further improved the Quantum Incursions. And now, it's time for some more community stats! |
| 194s | Of course, you have actively discussed these |
| 196s | updates and contacted us for advice. This year, we have: |
| 201s | posted almost 70 announcements on Discord |
| 204s | produced and released 23 videos with over a million combined views |
| 209s | answered just under 300k support tickets across all servers |
| 213s | and welcomed over 60k new Discord members, having grown our sever to over 80k players! |
| 221s | Forge is made possible by YOU! On behalf of the team, we thank you for playing the game, |
| 227s | voting for suggestions, sharing feedback, and continuing to support us. |
| 232s | Thanks for watching and see you in the next one! |
