[sa]Dear Community,
Find below the changelog for Tribal Wars Version 8.7. A lot of the changes we've made this time are behind the scenes (you might hear more later!), but we've definitely got some nice improvements to show off! Besides the changes below, we also fixed about 25 bugs from previous versions.
Mobile
While not yet fully complete, we have made some dramatic improvements to our mobile version for touch-enabled devices. The first wave of improvements will be released with 8.7, and we will be releasing an update to the iOS app in a couple of weeks. The mobile version is now:
- Slicker: way fewer menus cluttering up the display
- Easier: an updated approach to the challenge of mobile user interfaces
- Fancier: added some high-resolution and more mobile-screen friendly images

Additionally, the mobile version is now available for non-premium players as well.
Keep an eye out and let us know what you think - we're going to continue improving in the next version.
Full-Screen Map
Want to take full advantage of your monitor? You'll be able to pop the map out of the restrictions of the tribal wars interface, and indeed beyond the browser itself with just a click of a button.
Just like the other map resizing options, this is one is only available for premium players.
Other
- Improved Farm Assistant resources estimate calculation
- Decommissioning is now shown in the Overviews
- Added confirmation box for mass-decommissioning
- Players who had already met requirements for quests that did not yet exist will now receive the quest as one would normally
- In some cases, newly registered players will now be sent directly into the world instead of needing to fill in their login details again
- Made some improvements to the name suggestion feature
- Updated resource graphics
- More confirmation boxes switched to new style
- Added auto-focus to "OK" button for trading resources
The update is due to take place on the 19th of September between 10:00 and 14:00, expect a short downtime.
EDIT: Additional changes deployed 9th October 2012 :-
Mobile only:
Quickbar
- Mobile: The mobile quickbar can now be configured to be shown in a separate menu below the resources bar instead of at the end of the top menu. This can be changed from within the Settings screen.
- iOS app: The mobile quickbar can be enabled or disabled from the settings menu. Default disabled.
- If the quickbar item has no text the hover text will be shown instead.
Village list
- Mobile: This can be accessed by tapping the arrow to the right of your village name in the menu.
- iOS app: This can be access by tapping 'Village select' from the menu. In the next update you will also be able to access this by double tapping on your village name.
Notifications
- Mobile: if your mobile browser supports it, you can now always see your incoming attacks/supports and whether you have new mails, reports or tribe forum posts by looking out for icons on the bottom right of the screen.
Usability & Layouts
- In older browsers a degraded layout is now available
- Improved farm assistant layout
Additionally, an update for the iOS app will be submitted to Apple for approval on 10.10.12. Expect the review to take about a week.
