Update to version 8.48

Dear community,

our new update to version 8.48 will be released on Monday the 13th of June between 10:00 and 11:00.

The update includes tribe chat, a new ranking statistic and a minor improvement. As always the worlds will be unavailable during the update.

We would like to hear your feedback regarding the new version in this thread .

Tribe chat

We've extended the current one to one chat system to add a new group chat for your tribe. You'll be able to easily chat with all your tribe mates in real time!

It's worth noting that to help you differentiate between players in the tribe chat we recently introduced a stock set of avatars that players without premium accounts can use from the settings menu.

Opponents defeated as supporter

We introduced a new category in the rankings. Supporting a village will now yield kill points to the supporting players. The amount is shared between the supporters based on the amount of their troops participating in the battle. The calculation includes the units of the village owner, who doesn't get any points in this ranking though. These points can be gained by either supporting another player's village or barbarian villages. They cannot be gained by supporting your own villages. This new ranking has no influence on the existing defense ranking.

Improvements to the haul limit notification

We slightly improved the readability of the haul limit notifications in-game. Now it should be easier for players to understand why they did not plunder any resources (because they reached the haul limit).
