ARENA

The gamemode has been completely overhauled. The Arena rating has become more significant, and a special currency has been added, which is required to gain access to unique offers - from resources and premium subscription to unique flags, designs and finishes.

◈Added Training Room - a new feature that allows you to form a Mass Battle from members of the current squadron or conduct a "1vs1" training battle. In this mode, players will not incur expenses or receive rewards

◈Added the Arena Store, where you can exchange the new currency for valuable items

PERSONAL ISLAND

◈The personal island feature has been expanded — with the update you will be able to decorate it to your liking, using various cosmetic elements. In addition to visual diversity, these buildings also provide various buffs — for example, to experience gain or expedition distance.
◈These new cosmetic elements can be placed in slots of your choice, their installation is not limited to a specific place.
◈In addition, the personal island will have a Population indicator, which will determine its Manpower amount. Constructing new buildings and some decorative elements will increase the Population.

◈Some Personal Island decoration items provide a bonus to the capacity of warehouses
