Upcoming Maintenance
On 10/29 from 11am EST - 3PM EST DomiNations will be down for a brief maintenance period. This maintenance is to address backend compatibility updates only. There are no bug fixes or feature updates included.
I have the same problem on two university leader upgrades. Both stuck at 1d 11h and not counting down. Both show a "Finish now for Free!" button but when clicked says "Not enough Crowns!".
