This update covers several points we talked about in the Town Hall Stream. There are more changes to come down the line in later releases.

We have made all attempts to prevent the need for a new save game. We have tested on all platforms and have not seen any issues with existing save games.


TFP wishes everyone a ton of fun with the V2.3 update.


Note:

Storm frequency setting defaults to 0

This does not change the setting for current save games. As we are still working to improve the player experience with the storm system, we want new players to start with our upcoming version instead of the current version. We hope to get the new version out as soon as possible. Thanks for your patience!
