Regarding the previous announcement:
Due to an error when collecting those boosts, we decided to remove them for now and look into a fix early next week. This however means, they might not make it back in time before the end of the event. You also still might encounters issues, if you rerolled one of those for the daily special today. This will fix itself tomorrow.
We are sorry about the inconvenience this caused and hope to re-release those boost items soon.

Sincerely,
Your Forge of Empires Team  

Dear History-makers,

Dear Adventurer,
you have come far and high on the Basilisk Peak, and we hope you enjoyed your journey so far!

Today we have to make a small but important announcement: We are going to extend the current Quantum Incursions Championship by another 2 weeks. We're doing this to ensure a smooth transition between the Championships and minimize the interference with the other updates we're planning.

Please be aware that this change is temporary. The QI Championships in general will continue to run for 12 weeks (6 QI Seasons), and we are not planning to make this extension on the live servers.

Because of the extension, you will have 2 more weeks to collect progress on your Quantum Pass and complete more difficulties in the Quantum Incursions! However, you will have to wait longer to collect your final Championship rewards.

We thank you for your understanding and if you want to share feedback, please visit this channel!... Read more

In this case, please either remove buildings, that require too much or place new ones providing more.
• We added the Trailside Smithy to the Silver League Rewards
• We added all Silver League Rewards to the Gold League
• We added a new card to the reward pool of normal ability cards: Loot!
  • With this card, you receive the reward from defeating the enemy instantly! (You still have to defeat them afterwards of course).

Our History Event runs on BETA from April 3rd to April 24th!

Have you ever wondered what would happen if famous historical figures of different times and origins could meet? Too bad if yes, because we also don't know what would happen! But we got inspired by this thought to create the History Event!

This Event features the recently introduced Cards mechanic, this time — in a completely new style and setting! In your Card battles, you will now be joined by famous historical figures and can put their unique abilities to the test. But don't expect your enemies to go down without a fight!

To help you navigate the challenges, we've added new tooltips, expanded the battle guide, and created more guiding visuals for the battle... Read more

Hello, scientists! We want to announce some changes we did to the Anniversary Event after the beta test ended. Most of those changes are related to the Rival Challenges.

- All Rival Quests are now easier to solve
- We added several non-event related tasks to the Rival Quests
- The received rewards in the Rival Challenges have been reduced and some rewards have been removed
- We removed one Upgrade Kit from the Milestone rewards. You now require more Energy to get the full Metro Station

We believe that those changes will make the Event more enjoyable for everyone and we of course want to hear your thoughts on those changes in the feedback thread!  

March 28th
Browser/General

• It was no longer possible to login in the browser version under certain conditions after the settlement buildings got upgraded. The issue got hotfixed on the live servers.
• The Assemble All button will no longer be displayed on all pages of the Inventory.

Beta-App

• Clicking the ranking button in another guilds profile opened the ranking at the position of your guild. It will now open at the position of the guild you saw the profile beforehand.
