Relief Forces
Starting with Patch 1.6, your alliance members will be able to donate troops to each other. Donated troops are deployed as defensive units from the Watch Signal, available starting in Age 4. When attacking units come into range, it will light the torches of the Watch Signal and start a timer. Relief forces will appear from the edge of the map and will continue spawning at timed intervals until the Watch Signal is destroyed or the battle ends. Units are spawned in the order in which they were donated. The number of units your alliance mates can donate to you and the number of relief troops that will spawn at once increases as you upgrade the Watch Signal. Providing Relief Forces to alliance mates can help your alliance climb the leaderboards. Higher level players can donate to lower level players to ensure fewer losses.
The Musket TowerThe Musket Tower will be a new defensive structure available in Age 9. It is unique among defensive towers in that you get to decide how it works. Put the Musket Tower in attack mode and it will do long-range, single-target damage that will smash siege weapons. Put it in defend mode and it will deal damage to all units in a short range around the building. Do you want to pick off trebuchets or counteract a rush? It’s up to you! The best part is that your enemy won’t know until they get in range of the tower which mode you selected.
Diplomacy & EngineeringPatch 1.6 will include a new economic and military tech upgrades. Diplomacy is an economic tech that increases the duration of peace treaties by a percentage. Upgrading the tech increases that percentage increase of this bonus. The first level of diplomacy is available in Age 4 and there are 4 levels of this research technology.
The new military tech is Engineering which increases the duration of any trap effects. This technology is also percentage based and increases with each level of research. Engineering is available from your military research building starting in Age 5 and has 4 levels.
Grenadiers
Grenadiers are a new unit trained from the Siege Workshop in Age 7. This is short-ranged unit that also deal damage in a small radius. Their preferred targets are towers and siege weapons but they are also good against cavalry. Grenadiers can also be used as defensive units for patrol points, guard houses, and atop walls.

InventoryWith this patch, players will be able to put Honor items into inventory. This will give you the ability to remove Honor items you no longer want to use and hold them in storage. You can use this to clean up decorations you no longer want to display, or use it to temporarily remove clutter while rearranging castle defenses. We’re also hoping to do some more fun and exciting things with items in the future using this feature.
