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: #708
- Crusade: #693
- Grail: #693
- Livonian: #693
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.
Builds details
#708 (2010/03/12)
new features:
- added possibility to re-start account (accessed via profile menu): lose anything and get a new city (it is possible to select a valley to start in), only gold and heroes are saved, newbie protection activated
- added a secondary password (per-server): security code. currently it is being asked during account re-start, maybe other uses in the future. it is recommended for all of you to set up one
- tactical window re-design, main features is an ability to see your armies how they are stationed in a formation, ability to split army to up to 4 similar armies (silver) or up to 10 (gold pack), and many usability fixes and improvements
- new capture-able valley locations (mercenary camps) featuring Teutonic Knights, Knight Templar, Barbarians and slaves. No city control required, 4 hours to capture. Gives mercenary points to owner, and some mercenary points (shared) to the Order owner belongs to. It allows hiring featured troops by owner/Order with a limited amount (the more locations you control, the more troops you can hire). From time to time local citizens starts a revolt for a freedom, so if not punished, the location will be free once again
- new tab in obelisk/fountains allowing to hire special mercenaries provided by controlled mercenary camps (controlled by you, our Order or lord)
tweaks / improvements:

balance:
bug fixes:
- many fixes as usually
#693 (2010/02/25)
new features:
- support sliding lower and right panel if window resolution is too low, making game better playable with lower resolutions (like notebooks with 1280x800, etc). Sliding is disabled if a page is scrolled a bit, so a temporary solution if you will have any problems with this could be scrolling few pixels to the bottom, and report to us, of course :)
tweaks / improvements:
- hero purchase / resurrect (with exp lose) changed from 50 to 10 gold coins
- mercenaries will no longer leave commanders on server restart
- increased chance for mercenaries leaving if you are inactive for a while
- grid in city now works when you move mouse over the amber (no need to click there)
balance:
bug fixes:
- dead purchased hero was lost from the resurrection tab and lost its owner
- changed top calculation for control points in ratings (top) since the previous leaded to incorrect results on siege server
- and a lots of small things as always :)
