The map
Cities reset
The ocean map replaces the old one. Alliances must capture cities again. Your heroes, buildings, troops and gear are not being erased.
State 880 · Season I
The ocean is coming. Don't panic.
Season I changes the map and adds new stuff to build. It does not erase your account. This guide tells you what matters, what to tap, and what to leave alone.
Expected start: Saturday, September 5 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern. If that changes, trust the countdown inside your game.
If you usually tap every red dot
Do these four things
- Stay in our alliance. Do not leave and rejoin for fun.
- Keep upgrading your normal account. Season I gives you another builder, so normal progress does not need to stop.
- Save optional items for a few days. Especially stamina cans, general speedups, hero fragments and Skill books.
- Wait before choosing your Ship. Leadership will post a recommendation after seeing the full choices.
