REMINDER: New Anti-VPN rules and detection systems go into effect. This means all anti-alt maps are now anti-VPN maps. Anyone using a VPN will be automatically kicked off the anti-alt/anti-VPN map.

Game improvements
Updated Volume Control! Instead of just mute/unmute in settings, you can now more precisely control your volumes with sliding percentage controls from 0 to 100, with mouse-wheel and click-n’-hold support. Clicking the volume bar between the plus and minus sign will now mute/unmute your volume. The UI tooltip is updated to reflect this. The game will save your last unmuted volume preference and restore it if you mute. Example: Set music volume to 50%. Click the yellow bar. It’s muted. Click the empty bar. It’s instantly back to 50%.

As COVID-19 is making it’s way across the world, our utmost concern is the health and safety of not only our employees, but also our valued players while we all traverse through this difficult time together. During this time, we urge everyone to follow all guidelines established by both federal and local authorities. If everyone does their part to help mitigate the crisis it will enable all of us to come out the other side of this much sooner.
In the meantime, to help ensure that our players have ample opportunities for entertainment while many of us will be spending more time at home in the coming weeks, we’re offering a “one purchase per player” 50%-off gold sale, and extra free daily combat and base repair kits – both of which can be activated any time throughout at least the next 4 weeks.
If you currently have a different sale offer running in-game, the 50%-off sale will start as soon as your current sale offer period ends.
The extra free daily repair kits will be claimable via the “Daily Login Reward” system. The repair kits will show as the new reward for the “Daily Login Reward” system, but the normal daily rewards will also appear when you go to place the kits in your Warehouse.
The home base repair kit has an expiration time of 18 hours, and the in-combat instant repair kit has an expiration of 30 minutes.
We hope this gesture makes an otherwise stressful time in everyone’s lives even the smallest bit better. More than that – we hope you all stay safe!

Heads up, Martians! 👽 We’ve been hearing your feedback loud and clear. Effective now, the level cap has officially been increased from Level 40 to Level 50. Will you be the first one to make it L50?
PvP Level Range Update
To go along with the level cap increase: many of you have also been requesting updated “attack level restrictions”, primarily as a means to help protect younger growing bases. Effective now, the new PvP level limits will be as follows, for attacks on home bases:
Level 39 and below: attack anyone 4 levels below you, up to 4 levels above you
Level 40+: see chart below
These limits apply only to home bases. Battalions and quarries can always be attacked regardless of the level difference.
Here is a table of the exact level ranges for home-base attacks:
