Ahead of our regular fortnightly Saturday Skirmish event on Saturday 13th July June at 19:00 UTC+1 we have made changes to two maps based on feedback from the event two weeks ago and re-designed the way AFK players are handled. The new system prevents AFK players from slowing the progress of the game and handles players who are briefly AFK more fairly.
