The team behind Forge of Empires has officially announced the launch of version 1.277 for next Wednesday, February 28th. Players should be prepared for a short downtime while the update is implemented, for which the team apologizes in advance.

What does the update bring?

The update focuses on a number of improvements and bug fixes to improve the overall game experience. Content for future events will also be added.

Improvements:

• The duration of the fade-out animation after completing manual battles has been shortened to speed up the gameplay experience.

Bug fixes:

• Adjustments to the inventory now ensure that the progress bar for fragments does not exceed the maximum.
• Text corrections eliminate confusion regarding the effects of satisfaction on battle points.
• The wording of error messages has been clarified to give clearer indications of problems.
• The ability to add an email address to an account created as a guest has been reintroduced.

Mobile-specific changes

The update for mobile devices will be released a few days after the browser version, depending on the store. Players should therefore not be surprised if the update is delayed on mobile devices. Fixes to quests and guild battles improve usability and fix display issues. Adjustments to the user interface and the visibility of construction times should further optimize the gaming experience on mobile devices.

Outlook and feedback

Update 1.277 is a further step towards improving Forge of Empires. The developers are already testing the "Quantum Invasions" on the beta server and have introduced an event for the 12th birthday of the game, where players can receive a metro station as a main reward.

The Forge of Empires team invites all players to give feedback on the new version, be it in the forum or on Facebook.
