Hello Everyone!
Version 4.3.0 has just been released! This is the first major update in 3 years, we've been working on it with our trusted beta testers and it was based on everyone's feedback. We have tried our best to keep you all up to date with the changes, but the full scope of the update will still be quite impactful, especially for mobile users' quality of life! Now we can resume working on expanding the endgame content, including Ascension 5 and more! There are probably a few minor bugs in the released version, but a lot of them have already been fixed and will be included in the Easter event update, which is coming mid-april.
For the N-th time now, we thank you for your continued patience and support! We really appreciated it and we hope to bring you even more fun in the future. Stay tuned for more updates!
NEW

Added Lineage Perk 6s in Ascension 3

Building upgrade series are now removed starting from Ascension 3.

Assistants upgrade series, alignment upgrade series, wall fragment series, gem potency series, and Sun Force are now removed starting from Ascension 4.

Reintroduced Astral factions in Ascension 4.

New Reincarnation Powers throughout all stages.

New Secret Trophy.

Arcane Brilliance now unlocks an upgrade that provides a bonus for each tier of the trophy unlocked.

Added an upgrade for unlocking The Architect trophy.

SYSTEM CHANGES

Added Buy All Buildings button that attempts to buy all building tiers to the Buy Quantity setting.

Added Autocast button modes to make the setup of autocasting spells easier and quicker.

Clicking the lineage button once now buys them to the maximum level you can afford.

Many wording changes, including renaming "this game" references to "this Era" and "Elite/MAD factions" to "Astral factions".

Mechanic consolidation and expansion: Triggered Tax Collections Power. In a similar way some Goblin upgrades already do, many other effects now make

your spells cast free Tax Collections, additively or multiplicatively. Triggered Tax Collections aggregate into a single stat, in a similar way automatic clicks do.

Clicks per second are also aggregated into a stat allowing for multiplicative increases.

Reincarnation gems requirement and Coins required per Gem have been streamlined throughout all Ascensions except Ascension 0. As a result, you may find your next Abdication or Reincarnation requirements different from before.

Royal Exchange container is now named Royal Market. Tooltip reworked for clarification. Royal Market bonus is now separated from the standard Ascension penalty system.

The Buy Quantity button was reworked to a dropdown menu instead of cycling through buy modes.

Added an option to disable toast messages.

BALANCE CHANGES

A lot of time-based requirements have been reduced throughout all game stages.

All challenges, bloodlines, lineages and lineage perks, and artifact sets upgrades no longer suffer from Ascension penalties.

Lineage perks are now unlocked asymmetrically: factions will distribute their perks across a large Reincarnation range and will unlock more through Ascensions. Lineages will have a hard cap of 25 levels per Ascension.

Spells now suffer different Ascension Penalties based on their Tier, the higher the better. Spell tiers are now unlocked at a rate of one per Ascension, meaning that you can cast up to Tier 2 while in Ascension 1. Each spell also has additional effects per tier, and upgrades are challenge-locked. Previous tiers above maximum have been removed from existing saves, but you don't need to unlock them again if you already did. All spells, except extraordinary spells (Tax Collection with Round Table, Dragon's Breath, Catalyst, Twisting Nether, season spells), now follow this rule. Offline bonuses provided through tier upgrades have been assigned to their respective ascension. Mana cost multipliers increased for all spell tiers.

As a special spell, Dragon's Breath now starts with 5 colors and unlock new ones across Ascensions. Its production effects will never suffer from Ascension penalties.

Starting mana amount reduced to 500/1000 on starting a new Era.

Ascension 3 Facility upgrades now provide Research Budget to their respective branch based on time spent in this Reincarnation with the time combinations of their faction representative.

Ascension 3 Mercenaries now gain additional Research budget when they purchase spell contracts and union contracts; branches affected depend on factions selected.

All Reincarnation powers unlocked after Ascension 0 now only start counting from the ascension they are unlocked in for their bases, with adjusted effect. For example, Reincarnation 50 power is based on (R-39), Reincarnation 120 power is based on (R-99).

All Spell tier upgrades now also multiplicatively increase Faction Coins found while offline by 200% per tier (stacking additively with same sources). Angel, Demon and Faceless Bloodline now provide the ability to cast their alignment spell regardless of affiliation. If you already have that spell, its effect is increased.

Base mana regen, and mana regen upgrade series have been increased.

Excavation's faction coin generation base increased, scaling decreased. Excavations now always give Faction Coins.

Excavation Resets now have a dynamic coin requirement of 3 orders of magnitude below the Reincarnation level, increasing by 1 each reset. You no longer lose anything by resetting excavations. You can no longer reset your excavations for free in Ascension 0, but you can still use Rubies.

Many Faction upgrades, researches, lineages and challenge effects have been rebalanced and/or reworked.

Removed usable restrictions from faction upgrades and researches that target or require specific game elements such as spells or Unique Buildings.

Reverse Autocast is no longer a requirement for Tiered Autocast, they are now separate and independent upgrades.

Global Reminder: The Goblin Invasion Event will be starting on Jul 09th 2020, 12.01 PM UTC and will end on Jul 13th 2020, 18.59 PM UTC.

Trade Lords formula changed to prevent overflowing. No changes to the upgrade effect. Most of the other logarithmic upgrades have undergone the same change, which should improve performance and avoid overflowing risks.
All effects based on spell duration now consider the duration of the spell at the moment it is cast. This will lower the efficiency of those upgrades (i.e. Druid Challenge 4), but will improve the game performance significantly.
Order Warcry formula changed to be logarithmic.
Faceless Set base increased.
Researches that are not yet unlocked cannot be purchased or imported via template.
Fixed several persistent UI issues.
Premeditation can no longer be unlocked by Mercenaries.
Chocolate Egg is no longer affected by Ascension penalties.
Restored the "Disable Buy Hotkeys" option. It no longer hides the buymax button.
{web}Text inside the Mana Sphere has been reorganized for better visibility.
Fairy 9 (Swarm of Fairies), Angel 1 (Holy Bells), 4 (Guardian Angels), 7 (Magical Gates), Undead 3 (Death Temples), Demon 7 (Infernal Magic), Demon 8 (Burning Legion), Druid 2 (Animal Companions) formulas streamlined. Balance change should be irrelevant.
Support Goblin 1 (Elite Goblins) formula changed to logarithmic.
Support Goblin 3 (The Slack King) offline production now suffers from Ascension Penalties.
Faceless 1 (Territorial Expanse) no longer autobuys buildings.
Faceless Challenge 2 requirements changed to: "Get to 6500 Max Mana and 8000 Buildings within 10 minutes of a new game."
Several secret upgrades now have their cost reduced to trivial or flavor-based coin amounts.
Mercenary Union Contracts can no longer be imported without their requirement.
Clarification: assistants provided by spells are temporary, not illusory (i.e. upgrades that have "count more" effects). They are now consistently used as requirements for various upgrades and trophies.
