Hello Queens and Kings,


We are happy to bring you Community Sprint's second wave, with the Changelog 1.210. This is the second batch of the changes we've been working on, thus complementing some features that have been delivered on Changelog 1.209.

Hello Queens and Kings,

We are happy to bring you the Community Sprint in the Changelog 1.209. This is only the first batch of the changes we've been working on, as we will have a continuation of these changes with the Changelog 1.210. Over the past few weeks we've been collecting your feedback, and we've received a lot of feature and improvement requests (everything well described, detailed and very interesting).

In addition to that, we are aware that many of you also asked for drastic changes to the Army Management, Inventory and Trade windows. Nevertheless, the scope of work for such changes would be too large for 1 or 2 updates, unfortunately. Therefore, we won't be able to deliver all the changes that have been requested with these two updates, but this doesn't mean that these features will not be revisited in the future.

Dear Kings and Queens,


We hope you are enjoying the first days of Spring!

In June (for version 1.209), we are planning to move forward with a Community Sprint. To clarify what that means, a Sprint is typically a two-week period where our developer teams work on specific topics, and for this two-week period they will entirely focus on quality of life and usability improvements for Forge of Empires.

Considering this will be our main focal point for that Sprint, and in doing so we want to improve the experience of the player through these usability improvements, we thought it would be important to reach out to you, and get an idea of which suggestions you would most like to see!

We ask that you please provide your suggestions in the comments section below. However, before you begin, we do need to establish some ground rul... Read more
