Greetings Monarchs!
Have you been well? We are very happy to be able to see you play and to receive your support!
Today, we bring you more consistent patch to fix some issues and visuals.
It will also improve details, visuals and QOL in general.
Thank you again for your feedbacks!
Update highlights:
- Reworked visuals for agriculture fields: Reserved plot for farming extension will now be tied to the main farm to make its purpose clearer.
- Improved resources collection area: when creating a district or placing a building on a collectable zone, tooltip will now display the updated quantity according to the new area.
- Improved skybox and camera angle (yes, previously it was angled to avoid visualizing the sky too much. It’s prettier now so you can see it.)
- Increased zoom out capacity
- Fixed issue where you could build outside of the game boundaries
Read the whole patch notes to see the changes in details!
