Quality of Life Updates
Donate Troops Without Training
Sometimes your Alliance mates will have a Troop Request that you have the resources to fill, but it requires you to dump your current Troop composition to make room and train new Troops for the request. You shouldn’t have to spend twice the resources to help fellow Alliance members. If you already have the means to assist, now you will be able to do so!
In Update 13.3, you can directly donate Troops to requests, provided you can train them yourself. This is part of our ‘Tap less, play more’ philosophy, and as an added benefit, the Troop Donation UI is more straightforward.
Troop Donation Capacity Update
We’re removing the Troop limit of 20, so if you want to donate the maximum amount of Troop Donation space with only Heavy Infantry, you can do that. This allows for one player to fill an entire Troop Donation request alone, with no limits outside of the Alliance Troop Donation cap of the receiving player.
A specific issue with Troop Donations is a recurring topic we’ve covered in earlier forum posts. However, to recap, players would sometimes receive Troop Donations mid-battle for a request that still had room for donation. After the battle, the player would see a remaining total of Troops that filled their original request, and they would be unable to make a new request until these were used. This resulted in players often reporting that they didn’t receive Troops or their Troop Donation disappeared.
We believe that making it easier to fulfill a Troop Donation will help with CS reporting should any issues arise.
Alliance Speed Up Assistance Improvements
All active Alliance Speed Up Requests in your Alliance chat can now be assisted with a single tap in update 13.3.
Claim National Trade Goods Button
Update 13.3 introduces a new button at the Embassy that lets you claim all your National Trade Goods from your inventory and place them directly in your storehouse, up to the storage limit. Additionally, NTG Shipments and the NTG Chests are also automatically opened, putting all their contents into your inventory!
New Commander Cosmetics
We’ll be adding two new Legendary Artifacts to 13.3 with their Mythical Counterparts to release at a later date.
