Update 3.2 - New UI & Guild Wars Defense Bonuses

Greetings All,

Please see below for the detailed patch notes:

Major Features

Guild Wars Defense Bonuses
Using unique troops on defense will grant bonuses to the player’s Guild Wars Score. The more unique troops you use throughout the week, the better the bonus! This should create much greater diversity in terms of the teams you face when attacking.

New UI
The new UI has been implemented in many but not all screens (the remainder to follow soon). The new UI addresses lots of quality of life issues (e.g., Troop Filters!), should help with performance on some lower end devices, and will make it much easier to make new and updated UI in the future.

Troop Filters:

  • Filter by multiple mana colors
  • Filter by mana combinations
  • Removed filter by trait & spell effect to simplify list but these can still be applied by using the Keyword filter

New Bonuses Screens

  • Added new Bonuses tab in the Troop Collection menu
  • Redesigned the Banners tab in the Troop Collection menu

    Redesigns of UI on the following screens:

    • Guild Wars
    • World Map
    • Troop Collection
    • Pre-battle screen
    • Quest menu
    • Challenge menu
    • Kingdom popup
    • Post battle
    • Reward unlocks (Excluding purchase rewards)
    • Message dialogs
    • Event/News menu
    • Tribute menu
    • Chat menu
    • Puzzle game
    • Team list
    • Loading screen
    • Loading wheel

    Minor Features

    • Chat window can now be resized using from the Window Size option
    • AI Slides have been removed as they were not having the desired effect.

    Bug fixes

    • Gem matching traits will only trigger once per board match calculation
