Dear community,

Our new update to version 8.59 will be released on Monday the 24th of October between 10:00 and 11:00.

This update contains improvements to the Scouting system and Premium Exchange. As always the worlds will be unavailable during the update.

Scouting changes

We have made some changes to scouting system, which should make it more clear to understand. Here is how the scout system will work after the update: In 3 tech level worlds, the scout can report troops, buildings, resources and foreign units depending on the researched level.

Otherwise, if Paladin with weapons is enabled, the scout can report troops, buildings and resources (And foreign units when attacking with paladin who is equipped with telescope). For all other cases, the scout can report troops, buildings, resources and foreign units. We have also removed the legacy setting where scouts could only report troops, but nothing else.

Note that there should be no changes on existing worlds. The spy configuration used to be independently configured on a per world basis, which often lead to queries and questions about how the spies would work for every new world. Now the behaviour will always be predictable.

Premium Exchange improvements

Based on our observations, we have made couple small adjustments to the Premium Exchange. We have increased the starting stock and capacity of the exchanges - now new exchanges will start at 25k stock and 50k capacity. We also noticed that at some point in the later game, Premium Exchanges remained mostly full and there were no trades happening. Now, if the exchange is full and there is no trade activity, it will grow slowly over time.


You can expect a few more improvements to the market in the upcoming updates!
