Swirve Blog: Age 68 Changes Posted by Utopia Temple, 1743 days, 23 hours and 25 minutes ago Category: Swirve Related Here are the changes for Age 68. Thank you to everyone that gave feedback, we have made some changes based on your ideas to mechanics and races/personalities. We’ve also decided to not go with any change to science. When we looked at it in more detail we decided that a more drastic overhaul to science was required and that’s something we will address in a future age.

Minimum 3 people to create a kingdom, 7 free invites provided. Admin stuff: a bunch of backend improvements to allow me to suspend, kick people out of accounts and deactivate people quicker. YAY. Bugs: Mail: Fixed sent mail being read by sender marking it as read for receiver. Intra kingdom attacks: After a number of intra kingdom attacks further attacks are blocked until day change by Oops messages. We don’t know why, so we removed and rewrote that entire section.
