[SomeRandomPlayer]

Leviathan The #1 question is "What is the required level to reach Information Age?"

 

[Leviathan1]

Great question. The minimum level to upgrade to Information Age is 300!

 

[LordStark263AC]

300 is a bit steep. I expected 280-290.

 

[Theoneandonly]

Levithian , and how much will be the upgrade costs and the amount of workers needed?

 

[RiseOfNations]

Any update on the Donated troops missing issue. It's completely affecting the world war and multiplayer wars.

 

[Ambassador_Monkisuma]

Oyoyoy! Everything looks great! Though I was hoping for a higher upgrade time % for the Burj Al Arab Wonder... with 9 houses is 9%. Can we get to 10 at least? or 15? Just bargaining here...

 

[Inhumanfrog]

They might add another house in IA, making it 10%, and we don't know if Estate counts as a 'house'

 

[Inhumanfrog]

Can I ask about the line:

Chapter 5: Machine Gun Tower Spawns 3 Machine Gun Units When Destroyed

What's the level of machine gun scale off of? Is it highest level of upgraded troop in the armory? The level of the strongest machine gun tower? Or the level of the individual machine gun tower being destroyed?

 

[MLMMLK]

How about a release date?

 

[witCat]

With MGU spawning troops as well as houses spawning troops commandos will be another troop to become obsolete. So I guess everyone will be using HT’s. So many choices

 

[bapia]

Leviathan, for Burj Al Arab, do estate count as a house?

 

[FrostMr]

Leviathan are there new leaders for the University?

 

[Dhruv patel]

Yes, they're gonna release sun tsu from the newsletter. Im more excited for that than this... When will that be released

 

[Leviathan1]

This will match the level of the machine gun unit in your Factory.

 

[Brabje]

Dear BHG, its september 22, almost 3 weeks after your Information age announcement. I think its a great tuesday to roll it out. This year for IOS first. Oké? Have a great day at the office.

 

[Quagmire]

Information Age TC upgrade costs 18.5mill gold (excluding any Catherine L3 research you may have done)

 

[Quagmire]

I’m slightly miffed at the lack of publicity about the release of Information Age. Surely your Digital Age are your most loyal & valuable customers?
if they’ve spent money getting to level 300 by today, they’re likely to spend more. So are your Marketing Dept just taking that for granted, hence the lack of effort in generating multimedia content for us to enjoy?
Surely someone in Public Relations can inform us whether it will be a Roll-out Tuesday or not, so we can reallocate the 18.5mill & 12 workers for another week?

 

[SomeRandomPlayer]

In software it's common to not officially announce specific release dates as something may change at the last minute (e.g., critical bug is found) ... this allows one to delay the release with fewer angry users... and no legal concerns.

 

[D_Vovan_238]

And will be very nice if the app icon will be changed...
Even previous icon was better.
