Empires and Tribes News

We have thought long and hard about this and will miss our medieval font of the last builds a little bit. But you have decided, "For all love, the legibility was not given."
We gave in to that, of course, and now we've decided to go for a more classic and clearer version. Have fun reading. We also found one/two loading bugs and added some UI panels.

We're happy to announce a new hotfix for Empires and Tribes. Some players had saving and loading issues, especially on the second campaign map. These bugs have been fixed now. Additionally we've added and improved some UI elements to give a little bit more feedback from the game, e.g. if an important event such as a fire takes place. Plus, we shortened the tutorial texts a little bit as some players complained about the length of the texts.

We're happy about your feedback.

We' re happy to announce the first patch for Empires and Tribes! It's not much, but it's important. Now you should be able to start the campaign and the tutorials correctly.

• The player selection buttons in the main menu will be displayed at the right position
  
• The second campaign is playable now
  
• We changed the loading algorithm. Your machine will get more feedback during loading time and will therefore know all the time, that we're actually loading stuff. Plus: you'll see the progress in the progress-bar. Plus: we added a new static loading image. More images and texts like tipps are about to come.
  
• Stones will be placed at the correct terrain height.
  
• The animation set of the monk will work correctly and therefore prevent the monk from floating around.
  

Have fun playing! Your team from Empires and Tribes.
