Provided all goes to plan with a trial release on DE1 today, all English worlds are expected to be updated with version 1.29 next week. Below is the current changelog for the update, however be aware it is subject to change within the next several days.

New features

  • Alliances allow you to sleep in forts if one town of your alliance is member of that fort.
  • Duelling members of your alliance will give you a warning.
  • Maneuvers: Fort owners can start maneuvers for training purpose.
  • Sheriff: You can now put bounties on player heads or hunt players down as a business.
  • Market: Towns can build markets that allow you to trade items with fellow people. The higher the market's level, the lower the fees when selling an item.
  • Soldiers fortbattle bonus: Raising their own and of their 4 neighbor's leadership in fortbattles by 25% (50%) of their own leadership.
  • New players have an deactivated chat per default. Players with deactivated chat will see an icon if they can join chat channels.

Improvements

  • Displaying the support that is granted by nearby soldiers.

  • County chats will be enabled with the update. Players will be able to leave channels, but have to do this after every login currently

Changes
  • Decreased worker's fortbattle bonus from 40% to 30%.
  • The worker bonus is no longer affecting the character's tower bonus.
  • The graphics for Charlatan's Shoes have been modified so they are no longer identical in appearance to the Fancy Shoes.
  • First round in fort battles is now only 2.5 minutes instead of 5.

Bugfixes
  • Duelsettings are saved before NPC duels are executed (there's a 3 second delay to improve server's performance).
  • Corrected bugfix that was supposed to fix the lack of starting position information in the battle logs. It should now be fixed.
  • Fort battle fights show correct dodged shot values now.
  • Can't buy from the wandering trader during a fort battle anymore
  • Can't do NPC duels during a fort battle

In addition to these changes, there are a few more items relevant to the International Version:
  • A chat affront will be included. This allows players to report messages in breach of our communications rules in a similar fashion to reporting telegrams.
  • To avoid confusion, two of the "shot guns" have been renamed.
We hope you'll enjoy this long list of changes :)

From this morning up to 17:00 Server Time, it will be impossible to declare fort battles. This is to ensure there are no battles running during the updates tomorrow, and should not be reported as a bug. Fort battles occurring today and the ability to declare battle tomorrow will not be affected.

We are expecting the update itself to cause a small amount of downtime. Please be patient whilst this occurs. If you are experiencing any bugs after the update remember to clear your cache before reporting them to us (press Ctrl + F5 on your keyboard).
