It's Winter Downunder so most of us have been working wrapped in blankets or close to our heaters.
Did you know that it is a tradition for some families in Australia to have a Christmas in July or Midwinter Christmas events?
We do this in order to give Christmas a winter feel ❄️ as December is Summer in Australia.
We have a LOT of changes planned for the spoooooky season (V 3.8) Our main focus for this update are improvements requested by the community, as well as making some big changes to the Premium & Free experience.
Our team is implementing a complete overhaul of the ranking system (no small feat!) - as this has been something we've been wanting to introduce for a long time. As part of these changes, we've taken into account feedback and insights from the community.
A big step is for us to transition the following to be Premium-exclusive for hosting players. - Portals (brand new feature!) - Zombies game mode - Blizzards - Fog of War
You will still be able to join games with these features without Premium, however you will not be able to create a game with them without supporting us.
Here's a little sneak peek at Portals!
Congratulations to our Winners of this Seasons Free For All tournament!!!
🏆 1st place - Pete 🏆 2nd place - UnderTheGun 🏆 3rd place - KingJohn2554
It was a super close battle and everyone deserves to be proud of themselves! 2nd and 3rd placements were determined by bounties earned during the finals and then overall points and bounties earned during the previous rounds. Thank you all for competing! Hope to see you next season!
When it comes to RISK Strategy we wanted to showcase Risk4Ever over on Youtube who has been making Strategy highlight videos for a while now.
Check them out if you want to get an edge on your gameplay!
