Greetings Adventurers,

Recently, property taxes were reduced to a range of 0.1% to 1.0% in the February update. The complete changes are listed below.

With lessons learned from lowering housing taxes in December, we want to further reduce housing tax costs and friction for players that own homes. With this update, we have greatly lowered the tax cost itself while also increasing the amount of company revenue earned from housing taxes directly (this change has been done in order to offset the lower incoming taxes so that townships can continue to operate at previous levels).

  • Defenders not being able to spawn at capture points should give attackers a nice boost. It should make it easier to capture the 3 points to unlock attacking the gates.
  • It should be easier f...
