Dear Asterix & Friends community!

Due to an unforeseen technical issue, some of you may be currently experiencing problems when logging in. We are working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible. We ask you to be patient and apologize for the inconvenience caused!

Features

• Winter has come! Your village is covered in a thick blanket of snow and the villagers are gathering snowballs to throw at the Romans!

• We have added a new tooltip which explains how the “protective shield” works during the PvP tournament. If you are attacked by another player, you will automatically receive a protective shield. You can also buy these shields in the market if you want.

Content

• 16 new quests have been added (some of these are available in Egypt).

• 4 new potions you can use in village brawl (new potion effects “heal” and “knock out”).

• 4 new PvP potion starter packages have been added to the market.

Tweaks

• The durability of the Bronze Viking Shield has been increased to 20 (it was previously 15).

• The Bronze Viking Shield can now be bought in the market with Roman Helmets.

• Some cooking items have been adjusted to produce more sesterce in a shorter time.

• 20 more inventory pages can be unlocked with Roman Helmets. There are 70 inventory pages in total.

• Winter sale: the price of many items available in the market has been reduced temporarily!

Bugfixes

• The straw storage building upgrade to level 16 now has the correct sesterce cost.

• Fixed a display issue, where the Guild Buff that affects Pointandclix’ strength was not added to the tooltip in the village brawl.

Features
The village brawl feature has been completely reworked. You will find more details below. Please also consult the new FAQs for this feature.

• All brawlers have been rebalanced.

• New potions which increase the attributes of your brawlers have been added.

• All PvP weapons have been rebalanced.

• The matchmaking system has been improved: your opponent is now more likely to be in your league and/or has a similar amount of points as you.

• Overall rework of the tournament points system: the amount of points you receive or lose after a fight depends on the
amount of brawlers that remain in the ring. Please see new our tournament FAQ for more details.

• Overall rework of the tournament leagues: there still are 15 leagues (from Wood 3 to Gold 1), but you can now advance to a higher league by collecting points. This is a change from the previous player distribution, which was calculated using percentages. Everybody has a chance to reach the Gold 1 league and to get the best rewards when the tournament season ends!

• The tournament season is now 2 months long – enough time to reach the top league!

• The functionality of the new guild tournament is similar to the single player tournament. However, there are only 5 leagues in total (Wood, Stone, Bronze, Silver, Gold).

Content
• We have added 5 more levels of building upgrades for the wood, stone and straw storage buildings.

• There are now 16 new potions to brew! These will help your fighters in village brawls and can be crafted at the druid’s or at the druid circle.

• There are 2 new village brawl achievements. Complete them and receive Roman Helmets as a reward!

Tweaks
• We have disabled the quest row “The great banquet”, because we are making some improvements to it. Please note that all currently active quests in this quest row will be completed automatically during update 29. We will not complete the final quest in this quest row: players will be able to complete this quest themselves and make Asterix available for combat.

Content

• The “Mysterious mist” event has come to an end.
