Update 0.1.47: A Tidier Realm

A good spring clean for the whole realm. Update the app on Android, iOS or Windows to get everything below.

New

• **Settings, simpler.** One home page with seven groups: Sound, Notifications, Display & Map, Flags & Privacy, Connection, Help and Account. Every option keeps your old setting.
• **Mail, rebuilt.** Bigger text, real dates, and a Waiting for You shelf at the top for burning flags, gifts and requests you can answer in one tap. Mark All as Read and Delete All are here, and half-typed replies are no longer lost when new mail arrives.
• **Real tavern rooms.** City and Kingdom Taverns show their own room with a bar, hearth, card tables and a chess corner. Tap a table to play.
• **Pictures everywhere.** Pets show their picture in your Pets list, furniture shows its own picture in your bag, and things on the ground show their real picture instead of a yellow dot.
• **Build flags faster.** Flags and buoys no longer ask "Build here?". Each Build choice shows its price; walk away and it cancels for free.
• **Pick your flag defaults.** Choose Private, Public or Normal for your future flags and buoys in Settings.
• **Search and sort.** Crafting, shops, storage and trading have search and category buttons. Travel sorts by name or distance, and Relocate now lives at the top of Travel.
• **Back means back.** Back retraces the screens you visited, and Backspace does the same on PC.
• **Dress your companions.** Equip weapons, armor and shields from the Companions menu.
• **Bigger saved map.** Up to 5 GB on PC and 3 GB on phones, with a Clear Saved Map button. Short trips and saved places skip the loading screen.
• **Weather.** Rain falls on a slant and puddles lie where they please. After a few drinks the map ripples too (Tipsy Sway in Settings turns it off).
• The map stays dark day and night. Your walk circle stays white, and turns red in combat.

Changes

• Gathering is never refused for going too fast, and quick plants take 1 second.
• In the last second of a gather, your next tap waits until you are paid. The gather bar shows what comes next.
• Tapping a creature shows a short card: its name, what it is weak to, its effects and your choices.
• Kingdoms get their full brick share from hunting, rounded up. Kingdoms that never chose a rate now take 10%.
• Mayors can build City Flags near their city even across an invisible map border.
• Crude oil weighs 0.1 kg.
• The Royal Sigils store has clearer pack cards, and a purchase always goes to the account that bought it.
• On Android and iPhone, crash reports help us fix crashes faster. They never include your name, email or location.

Fixes

• No more getting stuck on "Reconnecting..." or "The realm refused entry".
• Your home chest is ready the moment you walk in.
• Creature raids on flags happen again, and long-abandoned flags crumble after a warning letter.
• Recruit-a-friend and anniversary rewards pay out, and leaderless kingdoms hand on the crown by themselves.
• Many Compass fixes: one row per Compass, losing it clears your waypoint, and the map says Dungeons.
• Smoother map dragging, less memory in long sessions, and berries no longer show through passing players.
• Mail gifts and staff gifts finish arriving even if your connection drops. Tapping Claim again on a gift that already paid says so instead of announcing it twice, and a timed-out staff gift pays only what is missing.
• Deleting a conversation or letter only removes an unclaimed gift if you said Yes to the warning. Older letters in long conversations can now be loaded.
• Mark All as Read and Delete All cover your whole mailbox, not just the letters on screen. Unclaimed birthday gifts stay until you claim them.
• Answering a request on the Friends, profile, kingdom or city screens clears its card from the mail shelf too. Burning-flag letters name the flag.
• Items gifted by Crownfront, like the Compass, arrive with all their uses.
• Kingdom Affairs > Bricks opens and shows your bricks.
• Bricks from a hunt no longer vanish when the kingdom treasury is busy, and each kill still pays once.
• Kingdom brick and oil purchases and paid profile spots that lost their connection part way finish by themselves.
• The pet Hunt button works: you and your pet travel to open ground away from flags.
• Loot dropped when a player kills you is much less likely to go missing.
• Recovering a death drop no longer brings back a pile that was already picked up. Expired items on the ground disappear on time.
• A slow server no longer stops you signing in, leaves an action unanswered, or knocks part of the world offline.
• A brief connection drop while the app renews your sign-in no longer signs you out everywhere.
• When you sign in, or arrive after a jump of 6 km or more, you and your companions stay hidden and safe for up to 10 seconds while the world loads. It ends early when loading finishes or you act, and you get none while fighting or red.
• If a raid can't check your bag because of a brief server problem, it says so and asks you to try again.
• Tavern tables come back properly after a server restart. Inside City and Kingdom Taverns you can walk the whole floor and leave by the front door.
• Your revenge list shows player names, and Premium bonuses count from your first kill after a restart.
• Tower skins no longer show the old tower.
• Chest size previews include your Chest Space upgrades and VIP bonus.
• Lodestone Boots no longer leave a sale waiting about 30 seconds, and their description is clearer.
• Shield Charge clearly explains that Charmed stops attacks.
• Staff names show their rank colour and badge in chat and mail.
• The map picture service has more memory, so the map should go blank far less often.

Purchases

• Purchases keep their owner after reinstalling or signing into another account on the same phone.
• Purchases made on older app versions still complete, and an interrupted purchase never pays Sigils twice.
• Android packs no longer get stuck as "already owned" after a lost reply from Google.
• Paid purchases keep recovering through store outages, and refunds only take back Sigils that actually arrived.
• If two accounts ever received the same purchase, the game fixes it by itself and gives the Sigils to the buyer.

Website

• The guide shows real pictures for newer buildings, creatures, plants and items, and a new Badges page lists every badge, prize and title.
• Pets have their own guide page, creature and building lists are sorted into clearer groups, and staff-only gear is gone from the public site.
• The Privacy and Cookie Policies now explain crash reports, device health reports and push notifications, and name our current hosting.

Thanks for playing - see you out there.
