Today we have been deployed another update which will be final before the big Alpha 3 update. From now on we are fully commited to delivering the alpha 3. There are still a lot of work to do, so don't expect alpha 3 in the coming weeks, but it's a finish line for it - all major features are done and we are now busy pulling it all together for a release, fixing smaller things. I will remind you that when alpha 3 will be launched, all your kingdoms, heroes and towns will be deleted and you will have to start from scratch. However you will receive a refund in Enkord Cash points to your account and will be able to spend them again in alpha 3. We will make a news post in advance (roughly in a week before the wipe) so you will be aware of the coming total game reset. So what is new in today's update?Shelter. The major thing is Shelter now should be working. You will be able to hide your army so when your town is attacked, they won't fight and you will not loose it. Now you can hide there all your rare animals if you like. Even better, you will be able to enable auto-hide feature which allows to hide automatically all your troops that appear in your town. This way you can queue a lot of units before you go to sleep and be sure that when you get up, they won't be wiped one by one by some other player that attacked you at night. Ambient Sounds. Some players complained that silent pauses in the game are not good, but making music play without pauses to allow hears to rest will make it annoying. Therefore we have made compromise - now there is a long pause between music tracks, but instead of silence those pauses feature environment sounds. Tweaks & fixes. There are a number of smaller fixes and tweaks that were made with this update. We have detailed list in our update log. Let us know if Shelter was useful to you and if the music background is better with ambient environment sounds now.

Thanks for the update. Unfortunately, I can't even open the game up now. It stops responding as soon as I click on "Play". |

I've tried five times to enter and the game just goes to a black screen with my "wait" icon circling. When I check my task manager it says the game is not responding. |

This update is for existing testers, sorry. The new wave of invites will be sent when alpha 3 will be launched. You have to wait a bit more. |

After the update the perks got reseted on 1 hero completely but on others i have something called demolitioners/1/2 which i never learned:D and only 7 free ones to relearn. Is there a list somewhere with actual perks that work other than hp? Also, during one of the server lags my 60 scouts dissappeared but now they are back and i'v got 125 of them, im not complaining tho! |

Cant tell about perks because I don't know the list myself, we haven't seriously started on them yet, those that are working were implemented along the way of implementing other features that required those perks. |

i agree with you about the perks being reset. i now cannot get the last perk for fishing. also, the shelter will not take the hero into hiding. everything else, but not the hero. with settlers, shelter has 6 slots available and will only allow 2 settlers. anyone know why? |

I never minded the period of silence for the exactly the reason you did it. When the music did start again it was 'fresh' and noticed and I have always loved the music in this game. That aside, I think the ambient nature sounds are cool too. Maybe you have managed to make everyone happy!!! That would be quite an accomplishment :)) |

Sandy, I can't tell you now why perks have been reset, will have more info tomorrow, as for the shelter vs settlers - different units have different size - some units might take up more than one slot in shelter, that is currently the case for settlers. The settler currently takes up 2 slots, so only 2 for 6 slots sounds like a bug. I am not saying that 2 slots for shelter is correct, larger size was meant for larger units like primitive ram, unit sizes will be tweaked. I was able to put hero into shelter though. |
