Although we don't talk much about what's coming, be sure that we are working hard to improve the experience. Some of this work is not glamorous, but we strive to provide a solid experience and smooth rough edges. In that spirit, this update addresses a range of small, medium and large issues that have been reported by you, or found in our own testing. Headline items include a new option to avoid reported players, population level and cap displays, and the ability to turn off special themes (i.e. Halloween and Christmas). Our team will continue to deliver improvements to Forts, and we welcome your suggestions and feedback. Happy holidays!
