Hello Queens and Kings,

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

• The Daunting Tower and Haunted Tree could be exchanged at the Antiques Dealer. Limited buildings are intended to only be placed in your city, so we have removed the ability to exchange them. But don't worry, if they are exchanging while the update is running, you get them back to your Inventory!

Improvements

• Speaking about limited buildings: All of them no longer require a street connection! Place them where you want, when you want, but make sure you have got some space.

Bugfixes

• Halloween Event:
  • Opening the shop will now deselect the tool you were using. We don't want you to accidentally use the wrong tool!
  • Collecting the 20th light bulb and a pumpkin at the same time did not change the label to "Claim Prizes". Now you know for sure, that you can collect your prizes!
  • Another issue with labels: In some languages (looking at you, French), some texts were too long. They are now displayed correctly.
• City:
  • Cars and pedestrians did not appear anymore most of the time. They got a bit shy with the last update, but they have gathered their courage and will appear again more often.
  • Getting a plundered resource doubled by the Atlantis Museum did not display the doubled amount. This has been fixed and now everyone should now, what this Great Building does.
  • The Stage of Ages did display a Coins icon. It does not provide coins, so we have changed it to Forge Points. Makes way more sense like this anyways.
• Features:
  • In the Inventory List in the Antiques Dealer, some popup did appear at the wrong position. They were a bit confused, but we used the Yellow Flute and everything is fine again.
  • Infiltrating a sector on the Campaign map did not have an effect anymore. The tactics of the enemy were too advanced, but we managed to find a weak point and allowed infiltrating again!

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.

• Quest Tabs all had a purple glow effect. They stole that one from the Daily Challenge Magician. But they have now realized, that purple is not fitting for them, so they have their standard glow back.
• Logging in with another account did display the previous account name in the World Selection Screen. You are not the previous player, at least we hope so, because that would be against the game rules! We have fixed this visual issue.
• In the Guild Expedition, trying to buy attempts for Medals, while not having enough of them led to an Internal Error. This happened, because we have removed the ability to buy medals for diamonds a while back. The button will now be inactive.
• And lastly, all Quest texts ended with ":". For some this looked good, but for some, it did not make sense, especially looking at the Space Age Quests ("<>:"). You are probably very disappointed, that we had to remove it, we fully understand you. But it was a necessary step!

In the meantime, our developers make some balancing changes to the Winter Event, currently available on Beta and prepared some new things, coming to you soon! If you would like to get yourself informed about our features in development, please visit our Beta servers, or check the Mobile Beta Test Program.

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team
