Quest manager

A new feature, Quest manager is being rolled out and it will reach you within a day. With the new feature, you can view your quests, manage them and sort them. This feature will simplify things and most players will not miss quests with limited time period. You can also view rewards for completing the quest before you complete it.

Note that this feature will be rolled slowly across different players, so dont worry if you dont have the feature yet. You will have it very soon.

Make sure you will share this new feature with your friends on facebook. :)

Game update: 7/1/11

A couple of quick bug fixes in today—mostly to sort out problems with the quests in the push yesterday. We've also included a few balance tweaks, as well as a few things that we failed to note in our release notes from yesterday.

Fixes

• Accuracy upgrade effectiveness has been reduced slightly, to prevent an abuse which allowed people to farm infinite energy.
• Payouts on farm crops have been adjusted somewhat. Returns on shorter harvest-time crops have been increased, while returns on longer harvest-time crops have been decreased.
• The 'Army Boost' quest should now properly track Upgrade Blueprints.
• The 'Rolling Out The Big Guns' quest should now credit you for upgrades you have already completed.
• Unit build times for some units have been increased.
• Reduced the rewards gained from replaying the same battle repeatedly.

Game update 6/28/11

Lots of bug fixes in today's release, but we know the one you're most interested in: The cap on energy from neighbor tends has been increased from 20 to 100. We still feel that there's a LOT of energy coming into the economy, and we're looking at other ways to maintain pacing here, but we hear you saying that this isn't the way to do it.

Fixes

• The cap on energy from neighbor tends has been increased from 20 to 100.
• Reduced the limit on the request timer from 24 hours to 23 hours, so players who play at the same time each day aren't constantly being forced later and later.
• The neighbor bar should no longer reset its position when changing from fullscreen mode to windowed mode and back.
• Fixed a few more issues surrounding the Captain Krunsch boss battle.
• Fixed some loading issues in the friend selector.
• The endgame video should now display correctly when in full screen.
