Ohoï warchiefs! After a month of beta testing, it is now time for the Rivals and Allies update to be available to everyone! This content has been made to answer the community’s expectations after the lobby finder update, but it includes other content as well! Be sure to read the news entirely.
Rival and Allies - Out Now
Since this is a community update, a lot of the additions are demands from the community that were left unanswered. For that reasons it include a lot of changes, here is the highlight
Multiplayer - an enhanced experience
Answering the feedback of the community, a lot of additions have been made to the multiplayer and the lobby finder. This goes from a new ready button to avoid AFK players to adding the lore tree in the clan selection page!
QoL - UI and Visuals reworked
Whenever we can, we keep on improving the visuals and UI of the game to make them as clear and as shiny as we can.
For that reason, we added new visuals for the victories (and the defeat). We’ll let you discover most of them in-game! We also reworked the camera to give you a closer look at your settlement as well as your clans!
Bug report - help us help you
If a problem arises during your gametime, you’ll be able to inform us directly by using the bug report button from everywhere in the game. If the issue results in a major issue, an alert message will be displayed for you to send a custom report as well as the long code that you previously had.
Any other things?

For the next update
On the Public beta branch
There have been more than 8000 games launched between the start of the beta and the release of the Community Update!
Sadly, we realized most of our players launched the conquest mode, leaving us with only a few people to give their opinion on the changes in multiplayer. If you face any problem with the new updates, feel free to send us your feedback on the forums or on discord!
What to expect
The next beta update will come with incoming content for the next update, Claws & Jaw
After the multiplayer, we’ll focus on the global experience with the game. Adding things to change the experience of the game itself, but you will have to experience this by yourself…
The beta will be fragmented on different content depending on the weeks, and will share everything planned for the update. This includes the AI which you’ll be able to challenge in the beta. We heard the complaints about the current AI situation, and we can’t wait to share the work that was done on it since December
Rivals and Allies focused on the demands around the multiplayer, we’ll wait for your feedback on the changes but the next update will also soon arrive for you all to see! thank you all for following us after all those years and see you in a future patch -Shiro Community Team
