--Changes--

- Imperial Points Raid research now improves the fixed % you can raid from a target, starting at 50% and increasing up to 100%
PLAYER SUGGESTED - Votes for Praefectus' now decay at variable rates based on player activity. If a Praefectus disappears for multiple days, their votes will rapidly decay allowing a City to more easily elect a new Leader
PLAYER SUGGESTED - All players are now removed from the Antechamber at the end of an Epoch (meaning players are entirely removed from the Senate at the close of each Epoch)
- Legions are now required to be present as a Defender on a location in order to 'top it up' with Imperial Points for defense
- Removed the option to Auto-Resolve a PvP battle. This was proving to offer an unnecessary advantage to PvP battles since adding concurrent PvP battles and needed to be removed without impacting PvE experiences
- Senate Attacks no longer have a random element and instead have a deterministic outcome based on your Power and the Power of your Target. During a Senate Attack, The Attackers power is removed from the Defender and the Defenders Power is removed from the Attacker.
PLAYER SUGGESTED - Reduced the cost of all Senate Seats in the Conclave by roughly 40%

Version 1.6.0
- Added additional modifiers to Epochs including a boost to Command Point Capacity and an Urban Points multiplier. A full breakdown of these additions and changes can be found in the Epoch panel via the Epoch banner in the top right of the screen
--Changes--
- New Regions unlock based on players purchasing the Permission to relocate or found a suburb there using Urban Points - previously this was tied to arbitrary ranks that proved ineffective
- If a player is regarded as inactive by the system, their votes will decay x2 as fast. This is a temporary adjustment with further changes to vote decay coming in a future patch
- Adjusted base zoom levels in suburbs and Player Seal behaviour when viewing suburbs
- Further Empire Map locations can no longer be captured if the connection 'chain' is broken - conquering lands requires a direct line of connection to your home City in order to take place
- Dramatically reduced the Rank requirements for the Rome-only additional housing levels (Initial Rome House becomes available at Rank 550, down from Rank 1000)
- All players Imperial Points will now be removed at the close of each Epoch. Along with the removal from The Senate, we feel this will help the initial days of each new Epoch offer up better opportunities for competition among the Houses
--Fixes--
PLAYER REPORTED - Resolved an issue causing some Suburb Slots in Rome Cities to have invisible Barbarian Huts
PLAYER REPORTED - Finally resolved issues that were impacting the performance of the Alliance Panel. Search functionality with return in a future patch, thanks for your patience on this one!
- Improved the update rate when moving your Legion to an uncontrolled location and attempting to capture it, minimizing the 'Error 3703: Defended' error
PLAYER REPORTED - Senate Points and Prestige values below 1 are now correctly retained between collections
PLAYER REPORTED - Fixed a rare issue that could result in a players fort becoming unrepairable even though damage is applied to it (Error 3509)
PLAYER REPORTED - Resolved an error that was causing the Senate Seat information to remain on screen when departing the Senate
PLAYER REPORTED - Corrected a server check omission that was enabling some players to Forage from locations there were not valid to Forage from (ahem.. Silver Town in LR1) - any further evidence of this should be reported to our Support team
PLAYER REPORTED - Fixed an issue that was causing some Barbarians in Raids to not move during an attack when placed on the extremities of the battle map by the system
- Fixed a missing texture for Super Premium Packs when redeemed via a Code

--Changes--
- Adjusted Glory Round values for all Empire Map locations in all Regions - general redistribution of Glory away from Rome and across other Regions
- Cities now produce Glory based on City Center development progress, resulting in cities with less developed cities producing generally less Glory than before, and more well-developed cities producing generally more Glory than before
PLAYER SUGGESTED - All players will now be removed from The Senate at the close of an Epoch - this is to better manage the flow of Imperial Points at the initial start of the next Epoch. We have more to come with end of Epoch events in later updates
PLAYER SUGGESTED - Adjusted Quests system to no longer give players multiple instances of the same type of quest, eg. Players should no longer see multiple quests to forage varying amounts of Water but could still see quests to fetch Water and Wood.
- Adjusted Premium Pack contents to give a random tier card in the 5th slot of similar rarity to those found in Super Random packs rather than a guaranteed Prestige Card. No other aspects of the Premium Pack have been modified.
--Fixes--

PLAYER SUGGESTED - House capture can now only be launched against targets based within the Outer Empire, Frontier and Rome Regions
PLAYER SUGGESTED - House capture can now only be launched against a player that has more than 4 Houses. House Capture will be unavailable against targets with 4 or less Houses available (including those stored within their Vault)
PLAYER SUGGESTED - While a player is under Eviction within their City, barbarians they generate from Huts will ONLY target that players buildings. If no buildings are present in that players suburbs they will be removed rather than target neighbours

- Fixed an issue that could cause the camera to focus on the City Forum after a relocation or migration, it should now focus on the players suburb slot/forum
- Resolve an issue that was causing Houses that did not have a Glory Round win to be displayed in the incorrect ranking order in the Rewards panels for Epochs
- Added pages to the Alliance Panel and temporarily removed the search functionality to improve performance. We're aware this doesn't completely resolve the performance issues players are experiencing and are continuing to work on possible fixes

v1.3.1
- Epoch Rewards - Players in Houses that participate in Glory Rounds can earn bundles of rewards at the close of an Epoch. There's prizes for all Houses up for grabs, no matter who claims the ultimate victory!
- Epoch Gameplay Changes - now that Epochs will begin to start and end, we've introduced gameplay changes as the world matures through the Epochs. Perks like double battle rewards or new loot from PvE battles are the kinds of bonuses to expect.
- Added a small Epoch indicator in the main HUD UI that when pressed gives a little more info about the current epoch and future epoch bonuses
--Changes--
- With the Epoch functionality fully realised in this update, we'll also be dramatically adjusting the currently-placeholder Glory Round targets and amounts to be more balanced (and beatable!)
- Turns out Legion marching speed (how quickly a Legion moves from location to location on the Empire Map) was tuned to be too fast vs our original intentions, reduced legion marching speed by 50%
PLAYER SUGGESTED - Aspects of the tutorial could take too long to load or progress, leading to confusion with many new players. Dramatically reduced the idle time in the Tutorial
PLAYER SUGGESTED - As players progress, the Cargo amount you collect from other players also rises massively so the 25 bonus from the Priestess Advisor seemed inconsequential. Raised the max amount of CP gained by collecting other players commodities from 25 to 100 CP, cargo amounts to do this have also risen
--Fixes--
PLAYER REPORTED - House leadership now receives a report notification if an Alliance applies to them
PLAYER REPORTED - Having Fort Cards in play or played during an attack will no longer cause discrepancies of battle results between Attacker and Defenders
PLAYER REPORTED - Resolved an issue that was causing some PvE battles to present differently to the player than being delivered to the server - battle results should consistently match now
PLAYER REPORTED - Vault space for stealing Houses should now update correctly when launching successive attacks without needing to refresh certain UI panels
PLAYER REPORTED - Demoting an Officialis of a House should no longer removed that players Alliance from the House unintentionally
- Last patch we removed some less popular cards from circulation, this had an unintended impact of actually hiding them from players inventories. These should now be visible again although the cards remain out of circulation
PLAYER REPORTED - Fixed a number of text and localisation issues
Build 1.2.1
- Improved server stability and data management to mitigate unwarranted disconnects and login issues for players
