| 24-01-2012 | New SEO company to be hired I had hired an SEO company to promote the site back in October and after being with them for 4 months i decided to drop them and hire someone else more "competent". I spent quite a bit on google ads as well, however once again the traffic results do not justify the costs. I will be hiring a new SEO company hopefully by the end of this week and they will be working on the site promotion and optimization for approximately 90 days. More on the topic and discussions can be found here: https://www.lordempires.com/forums/announcements-23/new-seo-company-1021 |

| 21-12-2011 | Lord Empires Tutorials I have uploaded several LE tutorials to youtube, most of the important information is now on our channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/MrLEAdmin |
| 14-12-2011 | Happiness changes I have increased the effect happiness has to land peasant growth daily. You should see an increase in land by 2x as of tomorrow. |
| 14-12-2011 | Almost 40 countries added! I have added another 40ish countries to the game, more in that can be found here: https://www.lordempires.com/forums/announcements-23/35-new-countries-added-1011 |
| 09-12-2011 | Server Issues We had (as you may have noticed) some issues with the site over the past few days. This issues was actually not connected to me or the game itself, but instead it was a problem with the server company. I ended up making a transfer and we are now on a private dedicated server with Inmotion. I hope that there will no longer be any issues with the site and everything will run smoothly from now on. In addition the problem we had with the bills, land and so on, were also issues connected to the server not updating properly, so those should now be totally fixed. In any case i would like if you find any problems connected to the "stats" not being updated to be posted here. https://www.lordempires.com/forums/announcements-23/server-issues-1009 |
| 29-11-2011 | General game overview |
| 19-11-2011 | Building Tutorial Building Tutorial: |
| 14-11-2011 | Stage progress We have completed about 30% of the current stage and hope to be fully done in the next 2 weeks |
| 09-11-2011 | Nations added to game I have added 8 new nations into the game, most of the large European countries are now in. |
| 01-11-2011 | November site update I will be making some changes to the site, here are the more significant ones: - More share options for social networks - Adding a cap on days you can bank interest (currently no limit) - Have vote "red bubble" for voting to make it easier to see where voting takes place - I am adding a similar option for treaty requests - Adding an option to "deselect" yourself from presidential and religious elections - Adding a forum suspension option (until now we could only give a total game ban) - Adding an option for clan admins to send mail according to mask (currently you can only send to clan members) |
| 24-10-2011 | New Countries Every month i will be adding new countries depending on how much activity members from those particular countries had during the previous month. Currently i am considering the following countries: Greece Netherlands If you want your country added to the game then simply get more people from your country playing! |
| 28-09-2011 | Quiet We have been a little quiet recently, that is not because we are not doing anything. I recently went to a seminar in the UK about site promotion and SEO and hope to be working on our strategy soon. If what i am doing is right we should be getting more members in the upcoming months. |
| 05-09-2011 | Manual I have updated the manual and FAQ to include the latest changes. |
| 30-08-2011 | More Roads I have increased the total maximum roads to 10 per city. |
| 25-08-2011 | Buttons + Icons We have now added the remaining icons and buttons to the site, next in line is to do is: - update the manual - add the text to the help pages - add screen-shots to the main page |
| 11-08-2011 | Happiness I have made adjustments to the happiness. There is no longer any "base happiness", it has been replaced by a level 9 market. Overall you can gain allot more happiness now, however you start off with 0 if you have no trades or roads connected. |
| 01-08-2011 | Major changes to logic I have made some serious changes to the game logic, please read the below thread: https://www.lordempires.com/forums/announcements-23/major-changes-to-game-logic-947 Youtube Video Here: |
| 28-07-2011 | Design Uploaded! We have uploaded the design to the site, however there are still a few little issues here and there which we hope to find and clear within the next 10 days. If you find something unusual with the design or have a suggestion post it here: https://www.lordempires.com/forums/announcements-23/design-issues-943 |
| 21-07-2011 | More War alterations - Decreased the influence of Armory from 5% per level to 2% and decreased the influence of Generals from 25% to 15% Note: If you had an Armory previously it was downgraded to 0, you retrieved the original cost of it though - I added a "secret" aid slot, which basically is a slot which will allow you to send or receive the minimum amount of aid at all times, even if you lack a caravan Note: This is to allow for recovery after a war - Decreased the raided resources from 50,000 to 25,000 and food raiding from 50,000 to 10,000. Note: The results were too extreme and were causing serious damage within just a week. |
| 20-07-2011 | War tweaks I made quite a few changes to the war module based on the results i saw in the previous wars. - Increased the importance of progressions in warfare by x2 - Decreased all based values by 50% Note: This is to increase the importance of progressions in war and to favor quality over quantity when attacking. - Increased the values of Cavalry somewhat, they are particularly effective against Rams and Catapults now Note: Mainly done because Cavalry was a "swift" attack unit, but since travel no longer exists i needed to improve their values to make them viable. - Decreased the effectiveness of Archers on certain divisions (H.Infantry, Cavalry and Knights), rest stay the same Note: Basically Archers were an easy way to do damage without retaliation (which is still the case) just now that damage is less. - Decreased the damage done on Economical buildings of around 25% Note: This is mainly to protect cities from being demolished fast by a raiding enemy. At least their economics will be somewhat preserved so as to rebuild later. |
