The first thing that leaped out at me was that his orc rogue failed his attack and has 0 barracks :/

I quite like the new look and its great to see this done, as i know its a major step to move the game forward. I eagerly await a worksafe CSS.

The new layout looks cool, however are there any changes to the ingame chat function? It would be nice to have the history go back a bit farther and maybe have the colour scheme changed. Green on black is hard on the eyes

I love that 'free vpn' ad :D

[skraz]

my only question is does it have an impact on formatters and if so, is that a good change for the game - itll make it more innaccessible to newer players untill they are updated, and top kds ofc will have thier own tools updated before the smaller kds do and thus create an even bigger gap in organisation... just a thought

We sent previews of this out last week

Seems nice!

I also hope the chat get boosted. Would be so nice to have that pimped, so we can use it properly!

Blurry on FF. Clear on IE.
Like the fonts.
Looks real good. The resources don't jump out though. Grey on grey (silver/silver).
Game logo needs some work imo. The colorscheme is awsome, but the weapon edges could be bulkier and maybe a neater font for UTOPIA (optically it's making a ~ movement).
Missing the monarch message space, but i guess we can keep it at design commentary.

As of now the chat is unchanged, but we definitely want to add a ton more features to it.

Let it load.

[hint]

For example, if you activate sitting for 3 days, sitting will start immediately and elapse 72 hours later.

What if I don't know yet how many days I will be away? In most cases when I've needed sitting I've not known when I'll be back. Only time I was sat this age, i expected to be away 5-7 days, yet it turned out to be about 12.

I haven't seen the implementation yet but i'm almost 100% sure you can cancel sitting early (assuming 3 days have passed) - so just err on the side of caution.

You misunderstood me a bit. Not canceling it early, but extending it. There would be a definite need for a feature that allows the sitter to extend that time period. People can get sick, have emergencies or just work where you can't predict when you can come back, both early or late.
