This week we have some exciting stuff to share. A new task system was added to the game, as well as new army management features and bugfixes.

New System: Tasks

A new task system was added to help guide players through the different functions of Aether Kingdoms. Each task gives a nice Aether reward, scaling with the difficulty of each task. From 20-40 Aether in the early game up to thousands of Aether for the hardest challenges.

While the interface is not completed, the system is functional and ready for testing. Enjoy your free Aether!

Features added

  • You can now cancel troop movements for 10 minutes after sending them.
  • The Kingdom page now refreshes the village resources and shows up-to-date values.
  • Added a new page to the Kingdom overview displaying the total number of troops in each village and the total number of troops from that village. Now you can track the total size of your armies on your account.
  • Scouting a village will now display the troops in the village instead of only the army size when enough scouts survive.
  • You can now scout the units at events and objectives, both owned by the natives and players.
  • You can now send back partial reinforcements instead of all reinforcements at once.

Balance changed

  • The size of an Empire is now limited to 40 players, and you cannot have more outstanding invites than there are open slots within the Empire.

Improvements made

  • The objective list on the Kingdom overview is now collapsible if the player holds 3 or more objectives.

Bugs squashed

  • You can no longer switch villages on the left sidebar on desktop mode while the game is loading.
  • The messages page now shows a text when there are no messages to display.
  • The left sidebar breakdown of resource production now uses number separators.
  • The mouseover text on district icons now show the district name instead of the resource name.
  • New monument supply reports now show the correct values for the total and new contribution by that user.
  • You can no longer exchange 1 or 2 resources to get 0 in return. The minimum is now 10 resources.

We hope you keep enjoying the Alpha 2.
