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
  • Statistics for brawls won and lost (as defender) not correctly displayed in statistics category tab ‘village brawls’. A game refresh is needed to see the correct PvP defender statistics. Same goes for the PvP achievement: win x brawls as a defender.
  • It’s not possible to store more than 20 brawl report mails (+ brawl rewards) in your inbox. Don’t forget to pick up your brawl rewards as soon as possible!
  • The game throws an (out of sync) error when receiving mails while having lots of actions queued (rare)
  • 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)
  • 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 (especially when you are planning to extend the outpost time)
  • Rarely, a quest row quest (Asterix or Obelix quest rows) cannot be completed although the client is already showing the rewards. You have to complete all objectives to get the rewards (you can see the objective list in the quest portrait tooltip on the left side)
  • [PvP] not possible to unlock brawlers with resistance points after completing the PvP tutorial (game refresh is needed)
  • [Statistics] legion defeat statistics updates when other players defeat (completely) legions on your friendsmap without your help. But it’s a client-only issue, after a game refresh the statistic resets (shows the correct count)

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!
