New Additions/Changes (11MAR):
- Resource bar
- Clicking the resource icons on the top resource bar gives greater
detail about that resource. As a bonus it also provides quick links to
the various buildings that provide the production for those resources
so you can jump straight into the production queue, and queue some up -
or create bigger and better farms, quarries etc for those resources that
auto generate.
- World Map
- Clicking on Towns now provides a quick link to see that player's profile and ranking position.
New Additions/Changes (10MAR):
- Server hiccup
- There was a bit of a server hiccup, running from about 4pm till
about 5.40pm today, where the Event queue got stuck. The Event queue
handles all the ingame events as they happen, such as completing a
building or a research task, or military/trade/diplomatic unit arrivals.
The
bug that caused this has been tracked down and shot, the event queue
restarted successfully, and then processed all the outstanding items in
order (as it should). We believe that no one should have "lost"
anything that was frozen, but if you feel that you have lost something,
please let us know via the Petition System. We apologise profusely for any inconvenience caused by the stickage, and thank you for your patience whilst it was ongoing!
- Protecting Resource via Trade Offers
- Having seen some very peculiarly large and unfavourable trades being offered, we've worked out why they were happening!
This
exploit no longer works. Resources offered for trade are considered
valid targets for theft, but they continue to be protected by your
Vault level. In the event that a thief (or military attack) is
successful, Trade Offer resources are now up for grabs. If the attack
is succesful, and the amount stolen is not covered by your existing
stockpile, Trade Offers containing the stolen resource(s) will
auto-cancel, returning the resources back to the pool, to be stolen. Defending
players will receive a message to this effect ("Your Quartermaster had
to cancel some trade offers to make up the difference"). Whilst
we were in there, we also fixed the buglet that would report resources
as being stolen, but then go on to say "There was nothing to steal that
wasn't under lock and key" as well. The code has been tested in a
variety of scenarios, but - as you might imagine - this has been a
substantial change to a hefty chunk of the Illyriad code (from Trade
Offers to Diplomatic Outcomes to Military Outcomes) so we are
gratefully any error report petitions (via the Support link on the left
hand side of your screen) regarding *any* diplomatic, military or trade
issues.
- Current Development List
- We're sure we'll regret it later, but there's now a current-dev-list_topic98.html - publically accessible list letting you know our plans for the future...
