Last Wednesday, April 10, the online strategy game Forge of Empires received a significant update, version 1.280. As is usual with such updates, there was a brief downtime, for which the developers have apologized. The update was primarily aimed at improving the technical stability of the game and fixing some bugs that had affected the gaming experience. Preparations were also made for upcoming events to enrich the gameplay.

Improvements in detail

A significant change has been made to guild battles. Buildings in the starting province of a guild that have been disbanded are now automatically destroyed. This prevents the exclusive buildings from being taken over uncontrollably.

A technical improvement has also been introduced to the game settings. Players can now remove the frame rate limit (FPS), which can ensure a smoother display, but could also result in performance problems.

Improvements to the inventory

The inventory has also been reworked to make it more user-friendly. An option has been added that makes it possible to combine several items at the same time. In addition, the new "Combine All" button makes it much easier to combine items.

Bug fixes

Various bugs have been addressed, including incorrect displays after guild seasons and visual issues with buildings. Many players will notice the corrections to the visual display of buildings in particular, as they no longer flicker between variants.

Mobile updates

The update for mobile devices was released with a slight delay, depending on the respective stores. Players on mobile platforms may therefore have to wait a few days longer for the new features.
