What Changed with the September 4th Update? (Thanks to mrfy @ TSTOTopix)

Fort Sensible, Box of Fireworks, Freak Show Tent, and Satan’s Anvil return as premium limited-time items.
The Cannon was added to the Clash of Clones build menu, but it’s the same one we’ve had all along.
They fixed a bug with dates, so we got last Saturday’s troop bonus today with the update.

The Two-nicorn was added to the Exotic Animals and Pets character collection.
The amount needed to update castles beyond level 20 was cut drastically. The old formula was 250 * (castle level + 1) * (castle level + 2). New formula is 25 * (castle level + 1) * (castle level + 2). So a upgrading a level 20 castle under the old formula cost 115,500 Elixir, under the new it costs 11,550 Elixir.
In the task Attend The Recital Under Threat Of Death which is used by almost every character in the quest The Prince And The Premise Part 11, both Rex Banner and George Washington will now earn at their premium rate.
A new temporary quest, Attack Benefits, was added to explain how to attack with a maximum chance of succeeding.
The 4 hour job Hide Unconscious Barbarian In Brown House from the quest The Prince And The Premise Part 14 now pays the 4 hour Elixir rate rather than the 7 hour.
Satan’s Anvil now earns 5000 XP when placed and gives 2000 Vanity points rather than 0 XP and 10 Vanity points. It also costs 225 donuts.
The Freak Show Tent now gives 800 vanity points when it used to give 150.

Some things which haven’t been fixed:

Homer still has his 2nd 16-hr task, to “Safely” Do His Job. This should have gone away when the July 4th quests were completed.
If you have the Sit ‘N’ Rotate, Selma and Skinner get a 2 hour task to Dine at the Revolving Restaurant, but it is always appearing at the top of their job lists.
FIT Milhouse’s tasks don’t scroll to the previous task length. For example, if you assign a character a 4 hour task, then choose Fit Milhouse to assign a task, the top task is his 60 minute one rather than the 4 hour. Minor issue, but sometimes results in assigning him the wrong task.
Manjula and Apu’s joint 1-hour task should earn at the premium rate for both characters, since it takes place at a premium location, their apartment. But right now, it earns premium for Manjula, but not for Apu.
Squeaky Voice Teen is still appearing in the Decorations build menu.

Thank you!

Is there any indication that they changed the programming that let's us use what's being called a glitch? If not, maybe its supposed to work that way. :)

Thanks for these posts LPNintendoITA, always full of good info

Homer now has a 16 hour task to go bowling which i don't believe was there before.

that appears once you buy Bowlarama

Maybe the reason they never fixed his 2nd 16h job is because they made they made it a permanent

I collected gliched payouts from yesterday's nerds today after updating. We'll see what happens with this next round of nerds tomarrow. I'm guessing an App Store update will be needed to fix this glitch like the tile glitch.

:thumbup:

Cheers for the info.
Did they fix the go to KL and your shields are cleared glitch, do you know?

Wrecked castles no longer produce any nerds.

Should it? Where did it say anywhere that it "should" have gone?
