Maintenance downtime: 21.01.2014 – 10:30-12:30

With the update of 21.01.2014 the gameplay mechanic of the temple/palace in egypt will change: after the update, your palace will not be destroyed after a few days anymore!

Known issues

• External buildings may be blocked despite the Roman camps having been defeated
• [Browser] Rarely, error #3672 when playing/loading the game in Chrome

• The game throws an error when receiving mails while having lots of actions queued
• Some issues with daily login bonus food reward overflow mail (not possible to pick up the food, because your food storage is full) – sometimes the mail inbox does not display all your mails (after you’ve received a daily login bonus overflow mail) – sometimes it’s not possible to delete the mail (error occurs)
• quest with food quest objective updates when clicking on boar trail (does NOT result in error, just a minor display issue)
• Constructed Outposts in Egypt and in Gaul might not display the correct amount of time left – please refresh your browser once in a while to prevent server-client syncing issues

EGYPT

• [Egypt] Egyptian workers are sometimes called ‘villagers’ in some descriptions (upgrade a worker,  equip a worker, …)
• [Egypt] The palace construction progress bar may not display the correct progress. Please make sure to update the palace status once in a while (by clicking on the palace) to get the latest palace status!
• [EGYPT] [Cargo Ship] The cargo ship travel line animation on travel map (in the cargo ship window) does not continue when you send the ship from one place to another. It’s just a minor display issue – reopening the window solves the problem
• !!! [Egypt] Palace is non destructible. The change we implemented, to keep the palace intact and not destroy it again after a few days, only affects players who are currently in the palace construction phase. If the palace is already completed at the time of the update it will be destroyed one last time. Every player who has to complete the palace a second time will receive an achievement.
