Release Notes

Dear Humans and Elves,


We are updating our International worlds to version 1.117, tomorrow the 10th of November.

The list of changes can be found below:

Bug Fixes

As with every update, we've resolved a number of bugs, among which:

• Building Menu - The Meditation Circle no longer incorrectly claims that a connection to two unique buildings is required. Instead, it correctly shows that it needs to be connected to one building, namely the Senate or another Meditation Circle.
• Quests - The Chapter 1 quest "Basic Economy II" could not be aborted once Chapter 2 was reached. Now it follows the same behavior as any other story quest in a Chapter and can be skipped once the next Chapter was reached.
• Buildings - The building "Sorcerers Gathering" no longer pretends to have a 4x4 footprint while only being 3x2 in size. Therefore it ...

Dear Humans and Elves

It is time for us to strengthen the team here on the International server and we are looking first to our Forum! We have open positions in both the Forum and our Support teams and are looking for people who love Elvenar!

So many here are passionate about Elvenar, which is the main ingredient that we all have who dedicate our time and energy here.

To see a little more click here and this will take you to our recruitment suite where you can read a little more about the Forum and Support ... Read more

I know huh - for the love of Elvenar!!!!  

Dear Humans and Elves,

Today it is my pleasure to re-introduce you to @anonglitch, who will now join our team as a new Co-Community Manager. You may have already seen him posting here, but from now on you may see him making announcements as well as still answering both on the forums and via support.

We're very happy to have him on board, and are looking forward to working together. As he is not totally new to our community, please join me in welcoming him to this new role!

We wish you all the best, luck, and joy in your new position!

Should there be any questions, ... Read more

Thats a good example @Julian as this is a Special Building and would be granted back as a one time gesture of goodwill.
Rebuilding it would take a crafting recipe, as these are not available from the HUD panel to rebuild, so are classed as a Special Building @... Read more

Unfortunately Ancient Wonders are not able to be reinstated in the game.
Any building that a player can rebuild from the game is unable to be reinstated, so quite right @QFol2
We are able to reinstate Special Buildings like event buildings, as a one time gesture of goodwill as these cannot be built again.
Hope this clarifys the situation.  

I am happy that this conversation has taken place, as I had not really considered that although we have been answering and giving out the inormation in the threads as to why ideas would not move forward and why some could. That perhaps a broader picture is needed.

My concern is that when discussing possible game direction this comes close to spoilers, like our beta thread.....which is labelled as it is to stop players who do not want to know from stumbling in there.

But please keep adding suggestions here for this and between us I am sure we can work it out. Although sadly I have got to go back to work now, so I will not be around for a few hours.  

Perhaps I should have worded that better Timneh as currently, Herodite is our only forum only moderator on the team and like the rest of us also fits this in around our rl jobs outside of here.
I would dearly love to clone her and hope that when I advertise again next month that some here would consider joining the EN team of volunteers.  

Which is what the team of mods actively do on the threads here Timneh, albeit we are a little thin on the ground for such a large Forum for which I will be actively recruiting for again very soon.  

Please remember that our in-house meetings are generally exactly that and why the community would not be aware of the content until it is confirmed officially.

These meetings are designed to give Community Managers and above any pertinent information needed across a broad spectrum of subject matter that is required for day to day management.

The above copy/paste does not give anything more than you already know, from our replies here, but I will happily condense this for you:

Nothing has been decided upon regarding the Scrolls abundance and the Moonstone Library or Universal Artifacts. Lots of ideas are floating around with this as with all aspects of the game, but nothing whatsoever has been decided upon.

Moving to the teleportation of Ancient Wonders as you know this is not technically possible currently.

Wishing Wells were removed earlier this year and were in effect replaced by the rarer Genie.

Not sure how programming friendly this would be on to do on the browser tbh.  

Yes @Pauly7 only on the app  

Hardware acceleration with Google Chrome 86

Dear Humans and Elves,

As some of you will know through experience, recently there has been a host of issues for players that are using a browser that is based on Chromium. For those that do not know, Chromium is the open-sourced browser project that most of the popular browsers develop from. Therefore an update to Chromium will impact the actual browser that you use.

Browsers that use Chromium include, but are not limited to:

• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Edge
• Opera
• Vivaldi

If you are using an older, pre-2013 graphics card, you are likely to run into these issues. We highlight this because the majority of our players that encounter this problem are using older hardware and/or outdated drivers. When a Chromium-based browser detects that you are using this hardware, it forcefully disables hardware acceleration thanks to a blocklist ... Read more

Dear Humans and Elves,

Please use this thread to discuss the update to version 1.116.

We're looking forward to your feedback!

Kind regards,
Your Elvenar Team  

Release Notes

Dear Humans and Elves,

We are updating our International worlds to version 1.116, tomorrow the 27th of October.

The list of changes can be found below:

Improvements

• Additional information was added to the Spells Information screen for Enchantments, ensuring that their effects are understandable and complete.
• Elvenar requires hardware acceleration to be active in the browser to allow for a smooth game performance and can now detect whether or not this option is enabled while loading the game. Troubleshooting steps are provided in case the lack of hardware acceleration is detected.

Balancing Changes

• Streets in Chapter 15 and 16 had their costs adjusted to require less Coins and Resources but additional Goods instead:
  • Ascending Street tiles now cost 500k Coins and 50k Supplies, plus 2000 of...
