As the multiplayer team mode increases the number of battles, we have discovered a series of related bugs and are working hard to fix and optimize them. In addition, the diplomacy module is also being developed synchronously, all of which involve dealing with various situations of multiplayer concurrency. Therefore, repairing these issues will be relatively time-consuming. We apologize for not being able to solve these problems in a timely manner. In addition, we plan to update a brand new style map and battlefield next time, In addition, we will also carry out a series of balance adjustments and optimizations. Stay tuned, thank you for your support of the game. {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/44596629/164752e01e9599effb8b47b4e5c009e136816626.png

Upcoming Updates Our programmers have resumed work and the diplomacy module has been resumed. You can declare friendship with other factions to gain a temporary ally, but friendly relations are not alliance relations. The other party can always break the agreement and sneak into your rear, but of course he will also receive a treacherous debuff. You can also invite others to send troops to a designated faction, thus reducing your own pressure or implementing the strategy of driving the tiger to swallow the wolf. In addition, you can establish a truce with warring enemy factions. For 2V2 and 4V4 modes, diplomacy can request resources from allies, which can be copper coins, grain, or grass, and can also mark the attack and defense instructions of cities on the map to facilitate allies' understanding of your strategic intentions. We hope this game can bring you fun, which is also the original intention of our development of this game. Please stay tuned.

Dear players, hello: Due to the sudden high fever of our team's programmers starting yesterday, the bug fix content originally planned to be updated this Friday may be postponed to next week. The diplomatic module under development will also be delayed,Due to the inability to fix the bug in a timely manner, it has caused a bad gaming experience for everyone. We deeply apologize. This game is only developed by two programmers, one in charge of server development and the other in charge of client development. On Friday, the client program had a fever, and currently no one can help fix some known issues. The bugs we are currently aware of include: 1. When demolishing a building too quickly, it may cause the building to not disappear and become inoperable 2. The problem of the city being beaten during the construction process, and the ongoing buildings not disappearing and unable to be operated 3. The issue of incorrect display of commission status after the city being commissioned is attacked 4. There is no issue of cities being attacked but displaying a reminder of being attacked If the above problems occur, you can solve them by restarting the game. Restarting the game will not cause the game to end. Therefore, it is recommended to reduce the number of home demolitions in the current version, or slow down the demolitions, not too fast, to avoid frequent occurrences of this problem. Thank you for your understanding and support! I also hope that this game can make you feel happy while playing. If you have any needs or questions, you can leave feedback in the discussion area or join the official Discord discussion. Thank you.
