Hey, Feudalists!

This week our Dev team is concentrating on investigating and fixing a really annoying problem — disappearance of objects during the cross-server transitions. We are very thankful to our community for providing the evidence and detailed feedback about those cases. They became a core basis for our investigation. We are currently working on a solution for this problem. For this reason we’ve decided to take a few additional days for research and tests thus delaying the update. It is currently planned for the middle of next week. This update will also include number of other important fixes and tweaks. As we’ve mentioned in the previous devblog, some of them will be related to trade delivery, fixing captured outposts permissions and arena rewards. Stay tuned to the upcoming news!

During the past month we’ve received a lot of your ideas and suggestions about the game mechanics. That greatly helps our team of improving the game on a daily basis. That’s why we want to invite everyone who wants to shape the future of Life is Feudal world with us to an AMA session scheduled for 12 of July! Take your most insidious questions to Bobik - leader of the project and the mastermind behind Life is Feudal!

And now it’s time for a community spot!

As you may know, one of our veteran players, Device_RU has made a very useful website lifdamage.online — online tool, where you can get detailed in-game statistics for your LiF character. All you need to do is upload your logs to the website.

The development of the project is still ongoing and a bunch of new features have been added recently.

The website is currently offering following services:
- Full decoding of your combat operations in the loaded game log
- Godenland server battle map, where you can see how well have you fought compared to other players

What's new?
1) Added “KillBoard” section, where you can see the kill count of the most majestic Goldenland warriors
2) Added Weekly Arena Challenge, where you can become the best fighter not in the results of a single arena, but in a combination of fights in 20 arenas
3) Fixed errors that sometimes led to incorrect statistics calculation

Are you ready for the royal battle?

Hey, Feudalists!
This Tuesday we’ve introduced the update with the new Outpost Totem mechanics which should resolve most of the exploits related to the outpost claiming. What is the Outpost Totem? It is a new object, that will be placed whenever an outpost is built. Now you can use abilities “Initiate a Holy Judgement”, “Claim Outpost” and “Stop Outpost Claiming” only by interacting with the totem. We hope this new control points mechanics will make outpost capturing much more fair and enjoyable. Have you already tried it? Share your feedback with us!


You ask - we deliver! This week we’ve also introduced a new “Collapse mine” feature according to your numerous suggestions. We have added “Collapse” and “Break Reinforce” abilities that can be used on an unoccupied mine block. Now you won’t have to wait ages to see the tunnels collapse on their own! We hope our dedicated miners will appreciate new abilities.


In this latest patch, we’ve also tweaked the lag compensation based on your thoughts and feedback. We hope these changes will improve game performance and make it more smooth. Your thoughts about the latest lag compensation tweaks are also welcomed in the same poll.

We have also a surprise for the true monarchs of the medieval kingdoms! The latest update brought 6 types of gorgeous royal clothes to our premium shop. With these outfits, you will shine like the bright stars of your kingdoms that you are.


Attentive readers have probably noticed that Royal Outfits on the picture compliments with accessories of the true power — Royal Crowns. These accessories will be added to the store before the end of June.

And now it’s time for a community spot!
Last week we told you about ambitious construction organized by the union of several guilds — Olympics Coliseum. It seems that the construction has progressed significantly. We want to share a couple of pictures from the scene with you:
