Valorians,

We know that many of you have been wanting to play with your friends from other mobile platforms, and we’ve been pushing to make this happen. Well, we’ve got some some awesome news for you all: Android and iOS players are now able to play together in new worlds!

What exactly does this mean? Android players will now be able to join new worlds that follow the current Trial by Sword world structure. This update should be available on Thursday, May 2nd at 2pm PST (21:00 VT) [you may experience a delay depending on Google Play]. These worlds are smaller in population and contain conquerable barbarians!

What exactly are conquerable barbarians? These are similar to your basic barbarians except now you can conquer them without the use of a scholar. Adding this feature goes off of feedback for the desire for earlier fighting over resources and increased competition; we like a little bloodbath. Check out some useful guides below:


Can these worlds end? Yes, worlds 122 and after each have a victory condition that triggers when a single guild controls that respective world. Learn more about this below:



Note: Due to Amazon’s app review process, this update will be available on the Amazon Appstore up to one week after it becomes available on Google Play.

Here’s a message from Luominosity, Valor Lead, which shows some personal insight into this update that many of you have been waiting for!

Faithful Valorians:

I want to start off by thanking everyone for your continued enthusiasm, interest, and support for our game. Valor, as a game, has been going strong for 2+ years, outliving many of the other mobile titles that have come and gone during this time. We attribute that success partially to the sweat and tears that we’ve poured into Valor, but mostly to you, our beloved community.

The Android version of the game, as many of you know, is a more recent endeavor for us. After months of “beta testing” with Android only worlds, we are finally ready to deliver true, cross-platform play: Android players and iOS players will join the same worlds, to fight as allies or enemies!

When we first started building the Android game, this was always the ultimate goal. We thank you for your patience during the long wait, and hope you are excited as we are to be able to play with practically anyone with a smartphone or tablet device.

Blaze and blessings,
Luominosity

P.S. Be on the lookout for a number of us, Quarkians, in the upcoming worlds.

1k and 5k worlds that are released after this update will be available to both iOS and Android players. Guild and speed worlds are currently only available to iOS players.

On iOS, there is 1k worlds (1k players, 25 members guilds) that are 89x89, 1 region.
and 5k worlds (5k players, 50 members guilds) that are 179x179, 4 regions.
Both are speed world 2 and unit 3.

There's alway both type opened, and when one is full, a fresh one on the same type open.

The winning condition is "last guild standing", meaning that there must be only one guild owning any >1,2k lord cities present in the world (barbarian cities don't influe on the condition).

Hope I did no error
