Introduction

While the game is developing, many changes to the functionality are made. From time to time snapshots of the current state is taken and the latest version being installed on the exact game world (server). This is called a build, identified by natural incrementing number.

Server details

Builds that are installed on game servers:

  • Beta: #625
  • Crusade: #625
  • Grail: #625
  • Livonian: #625

Note, that build number will probably never be the same like it is listed on build details, since it is incremented each time when a build is installed, so installing same build (1) to 3 servers will lead that they will have builds 1,2 and 3 installed.
