Yes, this is exactly how do you would call it, so truth have to be named

Year comes to the end and it is time to strike a balance and correct past shortcomings.
On the servers will be added additional security and control of prizes and other bonuses distribution.
In addition to the denomination of units, it was decided to withdraw and also to compensate units in excess of the following amounts:
12,000 fighting mastiffs, 6,000 polar bears and 10,000 duke’s guard.

Every 7,000 of these units will be compensated at the rate of 1% to the library. The remaining surplus of less than 7000 rounded up (in favor of the players). Also reduced the number of these units in bonuses to 750 (equal to old 5000) and prizes for the tops and mini-games will also be reviewed. These changes are made in order to reduce the impact of the bonus troops on the outcome of battles and will be effective with next server restart.

Also there is more stronger rules for Academies - player can be in Academy until 39th level but not longer than 75d from game start!

Game administration apologizes for the inconvenience and shortcomings in the denomination. We have tried to compensate for all that not to offend anyone.
