Update to version 8.26

Update to version 8.26

Dear players,

Our next update is coming soon. It will be released on Monday, the 1st of September , between 10:00 and 11:00. As usual, this means that the worlds will be unavailable for a couple minutes.

We have continued working on improvements from the previous version, as well as a new feature helping bigger accounts and notifications for mails and achievements.
The stockpile distributor won't be activated with this update, we feel more time is needed to activate it in the best conditions.
Please let us know what you think of the content in the discussion thread!


Ingame notifications for achievement progress and new mails

 

Added a notification system that will keep you informed when you make significant progress towards a new achievement or achievement level.
It will also give you a notification when you have a new mail, who it is from, and what the subject is.
Please note that this is separate from the "Browser notifications" feature.

New: Dynamic Village Groups

We've got a new feature for larger accounts: dynamic village groups.
Rather than creating groups of villages manually, you'll now be able to set up your account to sort villages into groups automatically - using filters that you define.
These are some of the filters that you'll be able to use:

• Does the village have any incoming attacks?
• How many, and what kind of units does this village have? Example: use this to create a group that gets automatically populated by villages that have a full army.
• Village contains buildings of a certain type and level Example: use this to determine which villages are still in need of being built up.
• What continent is the village on?

Some Dynamic Groups will be set up for you by the system to give you a headstart. These will be: "Full Offense", "Has Nobleman" and "Incoming Attack". (Note: these won't be set up if there is already a group with the same name)
The existing village groups will still be available as "manual groups".
Note that Village Groups are a part of the Premium Account.

Other

- When recruiting multiple units, the unit costs and recruitment time will be updated to reflect the total for the amount of units you will recruit.
- If you don't have enough resources for a Construction or Recruitment order, the resource you lack will be shown in red so that you know what's stopping you.
Here's an image of those two changes combined:

- Recognised URLs in messages and forum posts will now be wrapped in [url] tags automatically upon submission, so that you don't need to add them yourself.
- 8.25 improvement : Buildings table in reports will now take up less vertical space
- 8.25 improvement : Sound played on attack will now play at maximum every 60 seconds, to avoid noise spam in case of many attacks.
- 8.25 improvement : Keyboard shortcut hints will no longer be displayed on mobile devices that are using the standard browser version
- Various smaller layout changes, image replacements and improvements
- Bug fixes
