A new update is rolling out to Age of Empires: Castle Siege, bringing along a new battle type and better rolls for battle chests. This update also brings in the option to retry any battle up to 3 times with some caveats.
Here's a look at what's new in Age of Empires: Castle Siege version 1.23:
Battle Chests:
- Players are now guaranteed at minimum 2 Silver and 1 Gold chests on each of their daily rolls
Smashdown Battles:
- Once a week, players can get matched against a lower level inactive castle filled with loot
- Players cannot win or lose crowns from Smashdown Battles
Retry Battles:
- Players will have the option to retry their own battles up to 3 times
- Players can post a retry battle every 24h to their Alliance
- Only one Alliance member may attempt each Alliance posted retry battle
- Players will not get to keep any loot from retry battles
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the bug where players were getting a pop up stating that a purchase had failed when they did not make any purchases. The message will no longer pop up.
- Fixed the bug where some Game Center players had trouble logging in. Players will no longer be prevented from logging into Game Center.
- Fixed the bug where some players had trouble with achievements not properly registering or showing in accounts. Achievements will now show correctly.
- Fixed the bug where donating watch signal troops would reset the Alliance list. Players will no longer have to scroll after every donation.
- Fixed the bug where players were extending their time by nexting even though their time bucket was used up. Players will now be vulnerable to attack when scouting if their time bucket is used up.
- Optimized connection
It's not a massive update by any means, but the new battle additions should provide plenty of entertainment for fans of the game. The 1.23 update is up for grabs now, and you can grab it from the Windows Store.
