Empires April Update Preview

Disclaimer: The following features are planned for the April update, but the final implementation will depend on the actual release build.

Feature Enhancements

• Player Exchange Limits Extended 
  • Expanded limits to allow for more flexibility in player trading.
• Pool Draws & Guarantee Inheritance – Pool draws and guarantees will now carry over between different banners within the same season; however, guarantees will not carry over between seasons.
• Guild Mail Improvements 
  • Unimportant messages in guild emails will be moved to the System tab.
• Football Pitch Adjustments 
  • Added low-level football pitches in high-level areas.
• Exchange Token Limits Adjusted 
  •  The limit for exchanging elite tokens for players has been increased to 100.
• City Sponsorship & Regional Championship Rewards 
  • Differentiated rewards for rank 4-10 to better incentivize weaker guilds.
• Trait Position Optimization 
  • The attribute boost from traits is always active for all positions. However, traits specifically designed for a certain position provide an additional advantage when a player is placed in that role. For example, a trait that enhances a Center Back (CB) will still increase attributes like pace and power for a Goalkeeper (GK), but it won’t provide the same strategic advantage when the GK plays in an outfield role in the engine. 
• Player XP Exchange 
  • Clearer notifications when a player cannot inherit levels, specifying whether the restriction is due to training, sponsorship, or team assignment.
• Rally Time Options Expanded 
  • New options to set rally times at 2 minutes.
• Invitational Match Difficulty Optimization 
  • Adjustments to balance difficulty and improve player experience. The friendly matches in the Invitational Match system will also be easier, allowing players to gain experience from them for team 2 and team 3.
• GVG Injury Timer Adjustment 
  • All severe injuries in GVG battles will now have a standardized recovery time of 4 minutes.

• Participation Rules for LV1 City Sponsorship & Regional Championship
  • Starting this season, LV1 City Sponsorship and Regional Championship participation will no longer require Reputation.
  • This change aims to lower the entry barrier and encourage more guilds to engage in intense battles, proving their dominance on the field.
  • Ongoing Rule Adjustments
    • We are committed to continuously refining GVG rules based on player feedback and in-game data to ensure a fair and exciting experience for all participants.
    • Stay tuned for future updates as we work to make GVG battles even more thrilling and competitive!

These changes aim to enhance the overall gameplay experience, improve quality-of-life features, and create a more balanced competitive environment.
