League Improvements:
- Leagues will now reward gold to everyone who participates in the league. 1st through 3rd place will still earn a higher prize. The higher league you are in, the more gold you will earn so keep climbing the ranks.
- Adjusted the amount of crowns required for each league. Leagues will now be more competitive.
As requested from the community, we changed alliance settings so that Emperors and Lords can delete Wonder announcements. Emperors will now also be able to remove the “alliance settings changed” messaging.
Age of Empires: Castle Seige is a rather exceptional game as it connects to the Xbox Live network on all of its versions including iOS. This connectivity allows for cloud saves, crossplay, and the unlocking of Xbox Achievements regardless of which device the user is playing it on.
