Dear Kings and Queens,

This is the place to be if you have any questions about ... Read more

Following feedback from Space Age: Jupiter Moon and the Forge 10th Anniversary event, we wanted to address some concerns that have been raised.

Particularly, we wanted to address some feedback we have been receiving in terms of the prevalence of technical issues, as well as frustrations expressed that community feedback was not acted upon.

Firstly, regarding technical issues, we certainly understand that this caused some frustration. Ultimately, we want players to enjoy their time on BETA. However, it is important to mention that BETA is a testing server, and one we use to improve the quality of events or features before they go live.

Events and features within Forge of Empire are a large undertaking that requires considerable resources in terms of time, planning, and staff. And for good reason, they are core to the Forge of Empires ex... Read more

Friday:
Browser/General

• Some players were not able to finish their cultural settlement. This issue has been fixed.

Beta-App

• The premium buildings from Space Age Jupiter Moon were displayed in the building menu, even if you have not yet reached this age. This will no longer happen. Note: It was unavailable though, so you could not place the building.

 

We forwarded the issue to the developers  

Thursday:
Browser/General

• In some rare cases, having the Golden Crops in your city would prevent you from using the reconstruction mode with chain buildings. This no longer occurs.

Beta-App

• When no chest was selected for the daily challenge yet, the Questgiver was shown instead of the chest. This has been fixed and works as previously.

 

Today, we have made another improvement and increased the amount of Paper Money in the rush quests by 10 again, bringing the amount to 65 Paper Money per quest.  

Wednesday:
Browser/General

• Some texts in the research and in buildings still had a placeholder in front of the name. They have now been removed.
• Instead of needing population, the Space Age Jupiter Moon production buildings provided population. This was not intended and has been changed.
• The animation for the Golden Orrery and the Stage of Ages did only play, once the production was finished. It will now play, when it is currently producing, just like other buildings.

Beta-App

• No player related updates.

 

Tuesday:
Browser/General

• Instead of receiving the correct amount of blueprints when contributing to a great building, you received none and instead, your current blueprint got doubled. This no longer happens and we are currently looking into the scale of this issue and may revert received blueprints in the next couple of days. This issue may have also led to you not being able to complete a level of your great building. This should also be fixed now.
• In the Anniversary Event, instead of displaying the "Come back in ..." message, the event window was blank. This is now fixed.
• The quest "Next Steps" in Space Age Jupiter Moon had a military building icon, even though it required a production building.
• Placing a Aerospace Pharmacy (Space Age Jupiter Moon) construction site next to a 1x1 street and then to a 2x2 street led to a broken state, where the construction never finished. This has been fixed a...

Dear players,

As some of you, especially iOS-Players may have noticed, the event was not available, when you have the app from the store.
Firstly, we want to apologize, that you were not able to test the event. We know that many of you would have loved to test it, since it has a completely new mechanic and has great rewards. With this post we want to give you a bit of insight on why it was not possible this event.

We have to begin with why you even need a specific version to play events in the first place on mobile and why there is no issue on browser. On browser, you always have the version of the server you play on. If your live world is on 1.225, you also play on 1.225. When you switch to beta, which has 1.227 as a server version, you also play with 1.227 on your browser. This is possible, because on browser you don't have a client, which needs to be updated, but everything is in the browser and online. It is however different for the a... Read more

Dear Kings and Queens,

The feedback you provided until now was incredible and lead to more balancing changes, that will be applied after tomorrows update:
Firstly, we have increased the amount of Paper Money you receive from the Rush Quests (from 50 to 55) and decreased the difficulty for a small amount of quests.
We also made some changes to the Grand King and Queen. Both now provide a 5% Attack Boost for your Attacking Army (same for every age) on level 2.

Again, feel free to share what you think of these changes and what further changes you would like to see in the feedback thread ... Read more

Monday:
Browser/General

• The Antiques Dealer could not been opened for some players anymore. This issue was already hotfixed later on friday.
• The scout button for the province "North Casdrit" in Space Age Jupiter Moon was slightly offset. It is now where it belongs.
• We made some more balancing changes to the Anniversary Event. You can find more details here.
• Sugar Crystal Synthesizer was slightly offset in your city. It now correctly aligns with the grid.
• The production buildings from Space Age Jupiter Moon were not part of the production carousel for all normal production buildings. Now they are a part of them, making it easier...

Every day we'll make a post notifying of any bugfixes or changes to the game, or otherwise to let you know that no changes have taken place.

Should you have any feedback regarding the contents of the daily changelogs, please let us know here.  

(sorry for the delay on this one)
Friday:
Browser/General

• In Space Age Jupiter Moon some packages in the shop were not available or not working. This issue has been fixed.
• Finishing your cultural settlement would lead to a broken quest state in your main city (empty window with settlement questgiver). This no longer happens.
• After upgrading your Champions Retreat to another era, the Champion was not unrecruited visually. You had to reload the game to recruit it again. This is no longer necessary. This issue was already once fixed a while back, but lead to other major problems, because of which we had to revert the changes.

Beta-App

• No update today.
