Spoiler: 7.3 Changelog

Features, Improvements and Changes

Account Manager & Farm Assistant
- The Overviews menu will no longer automatically redirect you back to the Account Manager when clicking Overviews after using the Account Manager to prevent both confusion and inconvenience - it has instead been given it its own place in the main menu.
- The Farm Assistant is now available for separate purchase but is still included in the Account Manager package. It has also received its own place in the main menu, and the "C" button has been modified for use on worlds where multiple scouts are required to retrieve village information.
- Added option in the Village Manager's dropdown menu to both cancel any current building orders as well as remove the current template.
- The Warnings and Recommendations field on the Account Manager overview should now only show relevant information. If you get a warning about a full farm and build another farm level, the warning about having a full farm will be removed during the next update sweep - this happens hourly.

Rally Point
- Added new feature: "Call for troops", which allows you to "pull" troops from your other villages to support in your current village.
- Added a Troops in Transit information table.

Market
- Added new feature: "Call for resources", which allows you to "pull" resources from your other villages to your current village.

Reports
- Indication Dots: added a new type of dot for attacks in which all of your troops were killed but you managed to damage a building. (

)
- Added a feature for exporting the report data of certain types of reports.
- The titles of the "Accept Forwarded Reports" report will now indiclude the sender's username and the first 30 characters of the forwarding comment.
- In the defense reports overview, the "Delete all reports of this category in this folder" button will now only delete the reports filtered with the "attacks on your own villages" and "attacks on supported villages" options.

Ease of use
- Fade-out notifications have been added in a number of places that previously needed confirmation. We're sure we haven't yet found all the places that this would be useful - we're looking forward to your feedback. More feature info
- Overviews: commands can now be cancelled from the Commands Overview
- In-tribe member list: You can now sort the listed players by clicking on the title of one of the various columns.
- Village overview: entry added to show you when your own beginner protection will expire.
- Group selections: will now all be ordered alphabetically for the sake of consistency.

Displayed Information
- Hall of Fame: now shows the daily award winners of the previous day
- Award Rankings: Player's tribe tag added
- Map info popups will now show the very latest information.

Other
- Awards: conquering or attacking your own village will no longer count in your favour for earning awards
- Mass Recruitment: added an option to skip the "results" screen.
- Settings: removed "Graphics pack based on V4.0" option
- War Declarations: BB Code will now function.
- Mass Recruitment: descriptions updated
- Player Profile: limited the number of villages shown on someone's player profile to improve loading times. (Full list can still be viewed)
- Unit info popups (in barracks): now include a unit picture, and the larger unit pictures in the recruitment buildings have been removed.

I like the concept of troop pulling, but it's just in essence simplifying the game more.

I don't think this sort of addition is necessarily going to be good for the game, as it leans the game even more to the defender's advantage. Although I guess Innogames would want people playing and paying for as long as possible, so I can understand the reasons for trying to make it even easier for defenders


On a positive note, I'm glad BB-codes work in war declarations now - that bugged me for a while

Has this already been put in place?

Perhaps read the whole thing before posting?

Can i suggest you put topics like Account Manager & Farm Assistant/Rally Point/Market/Reports/Ease of use/etc etc etc...with BB code Black??To enhance the reading...

About the update...i pretty like all of it...especially :
- War Declarations: BB Code will now function.
- Awards: conquering or attacking your own village will no longer count in your favour for earning awards
- Hall of Fame: now shows the daily award winners of the previous day
among others...

Pretty nice job

i think the " pull " stuff automatize the game.
like a bot in fact.

You get an attack, so you click the pull button and all is done.
I think it will erase a bit of the difference between good and new players.
It's bad thing i think.

There has been many changes over the years to the game. I believe innogames has realized they need to attract new players to the game. There would not be many people playing but the unemployed if the enhancements were not made. Lets face it....if you don't have a job or a life...this game is easier to dominate. Players like myself are forced to have 2 co-players to keep up with those who are unemployed etc. Look at the US servers and the UK servers. They are small communities. The people who are online 16 hours a day are dominating....not everyone can do this. Kudos to the game makers for trying to level the playing field. Lets face it....co-players only came into play to combat the ultra no lifers.

This game has evolved to co-play or be nobled...period. I would love to see a no co-play world that limits the number of hours an account can be accessed per day. That would level the field....lol.

to tell you the truth,i think 7.3 is the worst thing that could come out. Before,i used to think "even though bots are hard to get hands on,still theyre illegal ,and its fair since it gives unfair advantages." but now I think differently,"now Bots are legal if you pay for them through PA"
what the devil is Farm assistance?
