We are constantly working on improving not only the visual representation of the game but also its mechanics and optimization. While some changes may not be as noticeable as model and texture updates, they are the ones that uphold and enhance the very spirit of the game.

Great news! We have improved the player matching algorithm for team matches.

Now, novice players will not be put into in the same match with strong and experienced players, which will make the games more balanced and interesting.

Only players of similar level will be in the match. Such games will allow all players to better showcase their skills, enriching battles with more engaging strategies and competitive spirit.

Thank you for playing with us! Stay tuned!

We would like to inform you about a situation that may affect the quality of your gameplay if you are located in the Asian region. On April 20th, there was a break in the SEA-ME-WE 5 submarine cable in Southeast Asia, leading to significant deterioration of internet connection in the region.

This could have affected the stability and speed of your connection to our server. According to the providers, the cable repair may last until the end of May. We urge you to be patient and want to assure you that the current connectivity issues in the Asian region are not related to our server's performance.

Thank you for your understanding and patience during this difficult period.

You can reconfigure hotkeys in the interface settings.




We have updated the appearance of all the trees. Now they are more detailed, improved animations and diversified the stumps left after cutting down a tree.
