Releases

Viewing a base other than your main one used to show your main base's Titanite in the topbar and on the Build screen — so a forward base could look flush with thousands banked while every structure still reported "not enough resources." The readout now shows the Titanite actually stored at the base you're looking at, matching that base's storage cap and what you can afford to build there. Titanite stays per-base; ISC remains your single shared account balance.

Housekeeping this round: we refreshed the core server libraries the game runs on and tidied up the engine's startup logs. Nothing changes on the front line — it just keeps the machinery under the hood current and clean.

You no longer have to wait for a hostile mover to reach your walls.

• Active interception. Tap an enemy convoy or scout you can see crossing the World Map, commit a force from one of your bases, and your units will run it down in the open field. Catch the escort and you destroy what it was guarding — a would-be colony's MCV, a spy, a scout — before it ever arrives.
• The chase is real. Your force plots an intercept against the target's actual course and speed. If your units are too slow or the target too far, the order is refused up front rather than sending them on a hopeless run — and if the target slips away or is settled by someone else first, your force simply turns around and comes home.
• You still only see your own plans. A rival whose ground your interceptors cross sees just a passing blip — never your target, your route, or where the two of you will meet.

Your standing garrison still guards home on its own; interception is for taking the fight to a mover out in the field, on your order. (Destralak)

A bundle of front-line improvements landed together:

• Tap your own convoy in flight. An MCV or unit-transport convoy crossing the World Map is now yours to tap — see its destination, arrival time and escort at a glance. Only you see your convoy's details; a rival whose ground it crosses still sees just a passing blip. (Nrgphoenix)
• Commander milestone ranks. Every 5 Commander levels you earn a new rank — Lieutenant, Captain, Major, on up to High Marshal — shown on your Commander page and the rankings. Each milestone also grants a modest home-defense bonus: it strengthens your garrison when you're attacked, and never fuels your own attacks. Applied retroactively to the level you're already at.
• Building on a second base is fixed. The Build screen on a second base could wrongly show every structure as unaffordable even with Titanite stockpiled there — it was reading your main base's stock. It now prices against the base you're actually viewing. (Nrgphoenix)

Launch an MCV to found a new base and it used to vanish until it arrived. No longer. An in-flight convoy — an MCV deploy or a unit transport — now shows up while it flies:

• On the World Map, you see your own convoy and its full route, arrival time and escort. A rival whose scouted ground your convoy crosses sees only a blip passing through — never where it's headed or the road it's taking. Your destination stays your secret.
• On the Bases overview, an inbound MCV shows as a dashed "ghost" base card right where the new base will stand, counting down with its destination and escort.
• You can call an MCV convoy back. Changed your mind, or someone claimed your landing site? Recall it and it turns around — the one convoy you're allowed to bring home (a launched attack still can't be recalled).

The Home page is no longer just a checklist. It now opens with While You Were Away — a digest of everything that happened during your last absence: attacks on you and your raids resolving (won and lost), a count of new mail and alliance events, and the round-wide global events like sandstorms and market swings. It's pinned to the window between your previous visit and this one, so it stays put while you work through your intel instead of vanishing as you read.

Beneath it, a live command overview: every one of your bases as a card — what's idle, what's under attack, what's full — the empire-at-a-glance the top bar can't give you, plus your tier progress.

Every block collapses independently and remembers how you left it, so you can fold away what you don't care about. The Getting Started checklist tucks itself into a single line once you've finished it — and stays recallable if you want to look back.

Sending an MCV to a new site just got easier. When you're in Deploy MCV mode, the green landing rings on the map are now tappable directly — tap a ring and that site is selected and previewed, no more hunting for the exact tile underneath it. Launching still takes the explicit Launch MCV button, so a stray tap never fires a deploy by accident. Works the same on phone, tablet and desktop.

A quick follow-up to the new Dev Channel statuses: the fresh badges (Ready, Awaiting your input, Future) now render in their proper colours on the board, instead of falling back to plain text.

The Dev Channel now tells you more precisely where each request sits.

Three new statuses join the board. Ready means a request is designed and queued for the autonomous builder to pick up. Awaiting your input means the ball is in your court — answer the open question and the thread moves itself straight back into the queue, no waiting on us to notice. Future marks a good idea we've parked for later — not rejected, just not now — kept in its own low-priority lane so the active work stays easy to read.

Requests that need a full workbench session (bigger builds, or new artwork) are now flagged distinctly from the ones the on-duty builder can ship right away, so nothing sits in the wrong queue.

Two things on the Attack page tonight.

Battles fought against you finally appear. Until now, "Recent battles" only ever listed the attacks you launched — a raid that landed on your own base showed up in your local events and then vanished, with no home on the Attack page at all. Now the list is both sides of the fight: an attack against you shows as a defended battle, won or lost, with what it cost you.

Every movement is a badge and a click. A spy, an incoming attack, a convoy — each row now wears its type, so a spy is never again mistaken for an army. Click any movement to open its full detail page: for your own missions, where it left from, its route, arrival time and — for a spy — the fee it paid and the interception risk it runs. For an incoming attack, you see exactly what you are entitled to and no more: when it strikes, who sent it, and how many forces — never their composition or the road they took.

A follow-up to tonight's briefing-form fix. When a briefing is re-sent — because the first one was broken, or because its questions stopped making sense — the old form now disappears from the thread instead of lingering underneath the new one, asking to be filled in. A briefing you actually answered is never removed: that one is the record of what was decided.

Two things land tonight, and both are about seeing what is actually happening.

Your scan ring is on the map. Your Scanning research has always bought you an early warning before an attack lands — but it was a number you never saw. Now it is a ring drawn around your main base, and it means exactly what it looks like: a hostile force crossing that line is a force you have been warned about. Push Scanning higher and the ring grows with it. Inbound attacks now appear on your own globe the moment your warning window opens, so an attack is something you watch coming in rather than read about afterwards.

You learn nothing sooner than you did before — the ring is the warning you already had, finally drawn where you can see it.

The Starport has a cart. Ordering a mixed force used to mean a separate order, and a separate delivery, for every unit type. Now you fill a cart across every row and send the lot as one delivery.

One thing worth knowing: you can have two deliveries in transit at once, and a third has to wait until one of them lands. Anything already in the air when this ships is untouched — every one of those orders arrives exactly as you placed it.

And a fix for the briefing forms. On a question where you could pick several answers, ticking one box ticked them all — and the form then refused to submit, insisting you had not answered. Both are gone. Any briefing that was left hanging because of it has been re-sent.

When you ask the command staff to grill or brainstorm an idea in the Dev Channel, you now always get a structured briefing back — every open question in one go, each with a recommended option, a free-text answer when none of the presets fit, and a notes box. You answer it once and submit once, and the work starts from there.

Before this, those questions could come back as plain prose, and sometimes one at a time across separate replies. If you were away from your desk that turned a single design conversation into a string of round-trips spread over hours. The form is now the only way that conversation can go out.

Tapping a force on the World Map now works the way your finger actually works.

A tap only registered if your finger landed and lifted within a hair's breadth of the same pixel. Fingers don't do that — they drift a little. So on a phone, taps on small targets like your own attacking force were quietly ignored, no matter how many times you tried. The map now allows for that natural drift, exactly as the press-and-hold gesture already did. Rival and allied force blips got easier to hit in the same pass.

Nothing changed about what you can see or who can see it — only whether the map answers when you touch it.

An in-flight spy no longer hides as a plain line in the World Map's Intel panel. It now gets the same treatment a Scout does: a live progress track over its real route, an ETA readout, and tap-to-inspect — tap the entry and the spy's corridor and target light up on the globe (tap the blip itself and its entry highlights back). Still your own covert view; other Commanders see nothing.

Your spies in flight are no longer just a marker you can't touch. Tap a spy's covert-eye blip on the World Map and it now traces the real path it's flying over the terrain — the full corridor, a marker on its target, and a pulse on the spy itself — exactly the way tapping a Scout works. It's your own operational view; a spy still stays invisible to everyone else. Tap anywhere else to clear it.

More spy intel — the in-flight progress track and the report reveal below the map — is on its way in the next update.

Send an informant behind enemy lines and you'll now spot them on the World Map — a distinct covert "watching eye" blip in your house colour, no longer lost among your marching armies. It's a placeholder marker for now; a bespoke agent sprite, a tappable route-and-status overlay, and the Scout-style intel animation are already queued to follow.

Founding a new base no longer means guessing. Switch on Deploy MCV on the world map and every valid rock landing site inside your explored territory now glows green — only the spots where a landing will actually succeed: unclaimed, far enough from other bases, and on true rock. No more long-pressing a patch that merely looks stony only to be turned away — pick a glowing site and preview your new base straight away.

Your base's "under attack" indicator used to start blinking the instant an enemy force launched — long before your scanners could resolve any detail, leaving you with a red light and nothing to read. It now lights exactly when the incoming-attack warning becomes viewable, so the blink and its detail always arrive together. Investing in Scanning still buys you an earlier warning, just as it should.

Tap one of your own outbound attacks on the world map and its full flight path now traces across the globe, origin to target, so you can read the run at a glance. Allies see the same corridor on any attack you share intel with — and, as with a scout, a rival tapping your force still sees nothing but your commander name and House. The line stays yours to know.

Tap one of your own outbound attacks on the world map and the force panel now carries a Recall attack button — turn your army around and send it home without leaving the map. It shows only while the attack is still on its way out (a launched special weapon is committed and can't be pulled back), and it's yours alone: a rival or ally tapping your force never sees it.

Your own forces on the world map are now tappable too. Tap one of your outbound attack dots and the full picture opens: the units you sent and how many, your aggression and focus orders, the arrival countdown, and the target and origin coordinates — all of it, because it's your army and you always know where you sent it. Rival and ally forces keep the disclosure they had: a rival still shows only who commands it and its House, an ally the shared-intel view. Live paths on the globe and a recall button land in the next slice.

Attacking forces on the world map are now tappable. Tap a rival's force and you'll see who commands it and which House flies its colours — nothing more, the same discipline a scout blip keeps. Tap an ally's and the full picture opens up: unit composition, their aggression and focus orders, the arrival countdown, and the target and origin coordinates. Your own forces stay read-only for now — clickable own dots land next.

Hostile forces on the move now appear on the globe. When an attacking force crosses ground your fog has revealed — an ally's forces show wherever they are — a marked blip flags it: a red ring for a rival, green for an ally, tinted to the commander's house. Hover to see whether it's friend or foe. Who's behind it, where it's headed and how strong it is stay hidden for now — tapping a force to inspect it lands next.

Tapping a base in the top bar's base menu could throw a 405 error instead of switching to it. The switcher now reloads cleanly onto the page you're on with the selected base active.
