But this time we won't list the changes, let it be a surpise :)

Hey guys!

Fixes and improvements

- Other fixes

Hey guys!

We have a new game update for you!

Elemental Tournament
For a long time we thought on how to give you more fun, and realized that we haven't done anything for PVE fans for quite a long time. That's how an Elemental Tournament idea was born.
- The goalf of the tournament is to fight for your race.
- Each victory gives points, that are taken into account in the overall standings.
- The valuable prize will be given to the characters of the victorious race.

Order of moves
- On many demands, we have added a panel of the move order.
- The first unit, in the panel is the currently active one. The next in the panel - will go next, etc.
- Delayed move will move the corresponding unit to the end of the queue on the current round.

Fixes
- Fixed a problem with ADs
- Fixed a problem with a spell book during the battle
- Other fixes and improvements

- Minor stability improvements

Hey guys!

We have prepared something for you!

Craft!
Now you you have a great opportunity to use all your artifacts that took all the precious space in your bags!
- Inventory window now have new tabs: Workshop and Altar
- Workshop allows to create new items from the existing ones: white to green, green to blue ones.
- An attempt to use blue or gold artifacts in workshop will lead a creation of new artifact of the same color with no obvious profit.
- Altar allows to create Enhancement Crystals.
- Enhancement Crystals allows to improve the parameters of the artifacts of the same color (as the crystal).
- The maximal amount of enhancements per artifact is 5.
- If you don't like the enhancement, you may remove it, but for the price.

Quick Spell Panel
After many requests, we have finally added the QSP to let you use spells faster in the battle. It should be intuitively simple to use it: just drag and drop the spell on the panel, during the battle. You will than be able to cast it without opening the spell book.

Shop
We have received many complaints from different people about the complexity of acquiring the Raid Bosses. Those take a lot of time to acquire and for a long time we thought that it is not a good idea to put them in the shop, despite of many people asking for that. But now we decided to conduct the experiment and added the booster with the Raid Boss cards. It should not be easy to get them there, but for now there should be more justice for people who people who can't spend much time in the game.

Other improvements
- Watching ADs procedure is simplified
- With full manna, only one number is now shown (maximal manna pull amount)
- More verifications added to prevent spell casting on the incorrect targets
- Fixed a hang on Arena, when one of the opponents surrendered
- Sound effects volume is now restored correctly at game start
- Added the option to show the confirmation windows on various attending the huts, fountains, wells, etc.
- Slightly improved the visualization of the drag and drop process of the artifacts in the inventory.

And some other lesser improvements and fixes.

Have a nice game!

Diamonds
- First purchase will now give two times more diamonds
- Added a possibility to watch the rewarded video in exchange for diamods
- Rewarded video can be watched once per 10 minutes, if there is a video available.
- Sometimes there will be no video to watch, in such case an attempt will be result in an error.

Game changes
- Astral Set: now restores 10% out of the current mana pool, instead of the maximual (as it was before)
- Ice Dragon: now casts Freeze spell with a 50% chance (instead o 100%)
- Seraphim: ability to kill in one hit has increased the chance up to 7% (was 5%)
- Cursed mines: now can be switched to the other resource type without a portal reset (for 10 diamonds)

Long time awaited update 3.0.0!
This update was not planned to be a gameplay update. We planned a modernization of several game components. But after all we couldn't resist an aspiration to add some features.

New Raid Bosses!
We know how long have you waited for the them to appear in the game and we finally decided to make it. So, the 15th tier cards are entering the game as a new Raid Bosses! They are: Snow Dragon, Green Dragon, Bone Dragon and Seraphim. These are the top power cards in the game, so getting such power will not be easy (but possible).
We plan to supervise the way these cards will effect the game in the nearest time, so some corrections are possible.

Arena
In the deck creation mode, will appear the cards of the 3rd (for instance Yeti) tier (15th upgrade level) and 11th (for instance Lich) tier (1st upgrade level). This is intended to add more diversity into the arena battles.

Magic
New spells are added into the game: Resurrection and Armageddon.
These spells are of the highest level and are only available in the shop. Also as these spells are very powerful, some balance tuning is possible.

Sound
- New environment sounds are added.
- New soundtrack in the lobby and on ice locations.

Authorization
- Guest login mode added to make it easier for the new players to get in the game.
- Added the possibility to bind the e-mail to the game account. It allows entering the game on any platform for those who used their social accounts to create a game account.
- Now entering the game with your e-mail, with a bound social account will not trigger social account login, which should prevent unexpected authorization requests and will let you in faster.

Billing service
- We have changed the old component, that managed the billing services for our game. Now the in-app purchases should work stable and some new billing features should become available.
- Those who have suffered from the issues of the old billing component have a chance to gain their purchases one more time. We decided not to block that behavior to show our gratitude to those who supported us one more time. Just to warn you - the diamonds will be awarded to the first logged in character.

Other improvements
- iPhoneX, XS, XR, XS Max support is added
- Settings window reworked: nick and avatar changing is added
- Many other improvements

- Improved weekly Arena rewards
- Other improvements

New game mode: Arena!
Arena is a highly balanced PVP game mode which doesn’t use any of your characters, cards, spells or artifacts. It means that both have equal chances to win: a year-in-the-game-veteran and a rookie who has good tactical skills in turn based games.

Stabilization update

For a long time we thought on improving the game in the 3rd portal. It
became the main source of the inspiration for this update.

3rd Portal Improvements
- The 3rd portal is now separate for PVE and PVP

- PVE variant (lite version of the 3rd portal)
* now available for entering without a delay
* the price to enter is 1 diamond (to prevent fast enrichening)
* the boss, as before, gives a chance to get a card, an artifact and
drops 0-1 (0-2 with premium account)diamonds (for the same reason)
* a diamond in the chest of the second location is not available (for
the same reason)

- PVP variant (full version)
* entrance is possible only with an adequate opponent (+-3 levels and an
equal PVP rank)
* as before, the boss, as before, gives a chance to get a card, an
artifact and drops 1-3 (2-6 with premium account) diamonds (to
compensate losses)
* as before, a diamond in the chest of the second location goes to the
first who finds it
* a pay off for the gold is no longer available (to prevent "contractual
fights")
* chat is no longer available in the 3rd portal (for the same reason)
* amongst common artifacts, there is now a chance to get a golden
artifact! (for the PVP battle victory)

New artifacts!
According to many requests, we have added a new type of artifacts - the
golden ones with set bonuses!
- a full set of the golden artifacts will provide unique bonuses
- incomplete set will not give a set bonuses, but the rest bonuses will
act as usual
- a type of bonus depends on the collected set (each set has its own bonus)
- golden artifacts can be acquired only in the PVP mode of the 3rd portal

Shadow faction bonus
After a deep investigation, we have decided to correct one of the
effects of the Shadow faction bonus: the mana drain. Since now, mana
drain amount will be calculated according to the mana remaining (not the
maximum value as it was before). This change should improve mages PVP
experience, when facing the opponents with shadow faction deck. Shadow
Spirit mechanics however, will remain the same - his mana drain value
calculation is still based on the maximum mana amount.

User Interface improvements
- an additional inventory doll is now available with premium account, to
let you switch comfortably two different sets of artifacts
- additional inventory back packs are now available (for diamonds)
- the faction bonus icon is now visible in lobby and allows to see the
effects (using a tool tip)
- now everyone will see the names of players with premium accounts
carved with gold on locations and golden character panel in battles
- Now player names that are suitable by PVP rank will be shown on the
green background in the location player list

Battle
- Spying is now available in battles (gives the ability to see opponents
stats) for 1 diamond
- character race and class icons are now visible on the character panel
in the battle and on the battle results window
- additional information is now available in the battle results window:
the survived units and tool tips showing unit upgrade level

Raid boss
- access to the minor raid bosses has been limited to 20th level instead
of 25th (to give new players more chances to reach the top)
- Shadow Spirit that is summoned by the Horror (as a raid boss) is now
using mana drain ability against player
- fixed a bug preventing updates of the raid boss battle participants list

Magic
- Counter Attack spell now has a mass version on the 4th level upgrade,
costs 162 mana (instead of 117), gives 3 additional counter attacks
(instead of 10)
- spell upgrades window now shows values considering the faction bonus
effects (if you have full faction deck)
- spell values (damage or heal amount) are now shown correctly after
switching artifacts, that has a Spell Power influence (in spell upgrades
and magic shop windows)

Sound
- added independent controls for sound effects and music volume
- sound effects on locations are now 3D

Other Fixes & Improvements

Minor Raid Bosses!
According to numerous requests, we have decided to add raid bosses for players of middle levels.
- Bosses are: Kelpie, Balrog, Driad, Horror
- Bosses are for 10 - 25 level characters, and the major raid bosses are now for 20+ level characters
- The rewards are: artifact, some diamonds (according to the position in the TOP damage list) and a chance to get a boss card

We have made a major version upgrade of our game engine!
It will give us many new emotions. Someone may notice improved performance, someone may find the opposite, but what is the most important - we will be able to focus on the game, and not waste our time on some low level technical issues.

Small Features
