Forge of Empires will release the new version 1.287 on July 17th. There will be a short downtime during the update. The developers apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. This update includes several technical improvements, bug fixes and new content for future events. The most important changes are listed below.

Community suggestions and new features

A central element of the update are the new features based on community suggestions. The most important adjustments include

• Inventory search by set (FOE-61885): It is now possible to search for the name of a set in the inventory. This makes it easier to find set parts such as the Cherry Orchard set.
• Message management in guild threads (FOE-67325): Guild founders and leaders can now delete messages from other members in guild threads.
• Enhanced boost overview in the Town Hall (FOE-81583): The overview now shows additional boosts, including coin and supply production, as well as various army boosts for city defense and guild battles.

Other improvements include the customization of army boost icons, the expansion of the production carousel and the ability to hide defensive armies by default. These features are available in both the browser and the app, with the exception of the last change, which is currently only implemented in the browser.

Bug fixes and mobile changes

In addition to the new features, several bugs have been fixed:

• Bugs in quantum inv asions (FOE-82877, FOE-82992): problems with entering and leaving quantum invasions as well as internal bugs with guilds have been fixed.
• Bound Unit Display Error (FOE-82825): An issue that visually increased the number of bonded units has been corrected.

The same improvements and bug fixes apply to mobile devices, but the update may be delayed depending on the respective app stores.
