World News shows the whole fight. See what was taken and who fell, name an heir for your alliance, watch the rain cross the map
Every battle in the archipelago now lands in World News with the whole story. You see how much was carried off, which island burned, which harbour the fleet sailed from and how many fell on each side. When someone takes a run at your alliance, every blow they land gathers on one card in your chat, so you can see the pattern and plan your answer. And once an hour, a rain shower rolls across the whole map.
Your alliance has an heir
An alliance that loses its leader can drift for weeks. Now a leader can name an heir from any member’s card. The heir is told, the roster marks them, and if the leader goes quiet or the Black Tide takes them, the heir picks up the flag and carries on.
Dialogs that stay where you left them
Running several islands shouldn’t mean starting over on every one. Swipe to your next island and you stay on the page you were on, so you can feed one target from all your harbours in a few swipes. Back steps out one level at a time instead of closing everything, and on a computer the keyboard works in every dialog.
