Summary

• No summary included

New Features and Changes

• We're changing the way restarting works:
  • If the first restart is within 24 hours of the town's creation, it can be done immediately without any additional cooldown. The deletion of the original city is automatic.
  • Every restart after the first has a 5 day cooldown, meaning if a player restarts, they have to wait 5 days before they can restart again.
  • Additionally, after changing the email address associated to a game account, players have to wait 5 days before you can restart again.
  • These changes do not affect players who restart due to losing their last city, and only work on restarts initiated by the player via settings
• Spy reports will now show which god is worshiped in the city too.
• We've added the possibility to delete multiple posts at once in the alliance forums (providing you have the right to delete posts).
• For Olympus worlds, when a siege is ongoing on a temple, we've adjusted how the besieger and alliances can interact with the incoming commands:
  • The player besieging the temple can cast spells on incoming enemy commands to the temple.
  • Players supporting the siege cannot cast spells on incoming commands to the temple.
  • For clarity, once a temple is owned, any player in the alliance who owns the temple can cast spells on incoming commands.

Bugfixes
