Release history

1.61

The kingdom is now five times wider: a 1200 × 1200 map, every tile hand-painted, and armies march through the openings of the Frontier Gates. Sign in with a login and password and open your city from any phone. The kingdom has been restarted — create an account and found a new city.

1.60

A new kingdom map: fully painted land, Frontier Gates on the mountain passes, the Throne Gates at the centre and the lands of the four peoples in the outer ring. Forests are impassable — armies go around them. Every city moved to the first ring of its people's land with troops, resources and buildings intact, plus an 8-hour shield.

1.59

Battles last until the last soldier falls and their length depends on strength: a rout ends in seconds, an even fight takes about a minute. “Victory” only appears once the enemy is broken. Target labels no longer hide under battles, squads fighting roaming enemies no longer overlap, and hero stars are clearly shown.

1.58

Hero summons are now rolled on the server — the result is the same on any phone. A red alarm bar warns of raids on your city. With a full hospital, battles and reports warn that wounded soldiers will die. Finished queues get a “Ready” badge, and the ring map opens without a stutter.

1.57

Terrain now shapes army routes, battles at a target take place on the correct side, and skirmishes that happened while the game was in the background are resolved fairly. Plenty of small interface and map fixes.

1.56

The first ring map: mountain passes, shrines, alliance bases and lands tinted by people. Clearer losses in battle reports, fixes to the hospital, chests and building window, and a new “City” button.

1.55

Stability fixes for the kingdom server.

1.54

Bug fixes from playtesting: leaving battle, retreating and squads meeting in the field.

1.52

The first version with a public APK and release log.
