Release 211: Empires - Guilds and Messaging++!

You get the remark that you don’t have permission to remove coin, but are still able to do it. It seems to be a bug. Had that show up in my home base and was still able to remove the coins. Didn’t think to rename it

Before I got my hands on AoE tools I used to visit ppls’ mines and run thru the tunnels they made earlier, picking up what others left behind. Fossils were often left behind as was tech because they were low value. I suspect if ppl start also picking up the incidental fossils they were mining passed already, the grind for ancient essence won’t be so bad. The recipe is like 18 large fossils for 250 so getting 2k essence is really 144 large fossil. Not bad for 50 bonding agent. ~3 fossils per

Ancient is rough, but not the big issue, IMO. It’s vital and sap.

I love the new chat system…it just told me one of my shop stands sold out and that one of my baskets was totally filled. :globe_with_meridians: :+1::facepunch:

Couple questions…

  1. Can you have a beacon aligned to one guild, with control to another? Eg my outlet in gyosha mall the presitge/alignment should go to gyosha mall, but i want my guildmates to be able to access stands etc. Guessing setting beacon perms for my guild the old fashioned way is the best bet.

  2. Sorry if this has been discussed, sure it probably has but i cant find a definitive answer in the million threads/posts (link to discussion would be great if there is one). Anyhoo… What happened to footfall? Is that now a daily thing? I haven’t registered any coin on any beacons since the update. Have watched many people run over the plots.

Edit… found an answer for anyone else wondering about footfall.

I call shenanigans.

I was 17th on Storis II before the update. I haven’t lost any prestige, But since four of the settlements above me split in two, I got knocked down to 21st.

:joy:

Lol. I had the same… actually added about 100k prestige building at the same time, and went from 10th to 16th. Fix your settlements people!

Where was this in the notes? Freaking awesome!!!

I had a quick look last night but couldn’t see a way to get rid of the chat. Can I turn it all off? Is using parental controls the best way?

Not a 100% off solution but you could just keep it on the “Boundless”-only channel, which is only for system messages. That way you wouldn’t be completely blocking chat or messages if you did want to check on them? But I guess the chat sound will still happen… Depends how “off” you want it to be I guess.

Thank you! I would prefer to be able to close or mute them completely until needed (for when son is playing).

In SETTINGS > GAME > GAMEPLAY panel there is an option to ‘Show Chat Log’ - you can set that to off and it will hide the chat module entirely unless you choose to interact with it.

We’re also working on adding channel muting and options to include channels in ‘All’ - so you’ll have a lot more control over what you see. Hopefully coming soon.

Ah will do, thank you. Good news also, thanks.

@uni3k you cannot. The guild you align to is the same guild you grant control to.

@james @philelliott

We tested this in PS last night. The chat displays the most recent of your characters that joined the guild.

So if you:

Join guild Character A
Join guild Character B

Each time you type in the chat, it will show Character B name.

Since most of our guild wanted their ‘main’ to have their name show, they would either : 1) Join the guild with their main last or 2) if they had already joined with all character, leave the guild with their main and rejoin.

Then when chatting their main name would show, which at least would be better.

Not sure if this bug always happens, or sometimes does…just sharing our workaround for when it did happen.

Found an AOE axe I can afford…as long as I don’t move while it’s equipped, stupid bouncy perk.

So, after about 30 minutes of searching and 45ish minutes of chopping, I got enough sap. (My apologies to anyone who lives near the area I deforested.)

So, I got that cooking into glue last night.

I’m almost out of tallow, and had to use some blood as well, but I finally managed to get enough vital cooked overnight

I miscalculated my ancient though. I had to dump close to the rest of my fossils into the extractor before I went to work. Should finish up right before I get home.

Two days of work will net me whopping 50 Enriched Bonding Materials. Enough for 250 of the new blocks.

And that’s it, I’m out. Mother Hubbard the cupboard is bare. It’ll take weeks for me to get enough mats to make any more.

These new blocks better have ten-thousand prestige each for the amount of mats they require.

Thank you!

Found them. Thank you. This is actually a really neat idea to get the foliage to glow because of the piece of gleam.
