Quick-Play Cards Bar, Improved Achievements and Crown Gifting

After our September crowdfunding adventure with Stronghold Crusader 2 we are back on track with another client update for Stronghold Kingdoms. The team has been working mainly on UI, with a new cards bar and improved achievements introduced in today’s update. Also added is the ability to buy Crowns for other players and send it to them as a gift.

Quick-Play Cards Bar – This new feature allows players to select and play relevant strategy cards at any time, without having to open up the cards screen. Simply click on the green “Show Available Cards” button at the top left of the world map, village screen, castle screen or anywhere else that the Quick-Play bar is available. This will cause all available cards to fan out for quick-play. Players can also turn off the play card confirmation, allowing them to play cards with a single click.

Achievement Notifications – We have added a notifications system for achievements, causing a pop-up to appear in the bottom right of the screen whenever an achievement medal is gained or upgraded. Multiple achievement notifications will stack if they are achieved simultaneously or while a player is offline.

Crown Gifting – Players can now send Crowns to other players as a gift. Please note that this system is currently limited to PayPal and only available for players with an established purchase history.

As always a full list of patch notes can be found in the Stronghold Kingdoms forum – http://bit.ly/15KiRoH

Many features included in the Autumn Update are based off community suggestion made earlier in the year. We hugely appreciate any feedback you have for Stronghold Kingdoms, so if you happen to have a suggestion of your own please head on over to the “Feedback” section of the official Stronghold Kingdoms forum and let it be known!

We hope you enjoy the new update. Until next month!
