> Beta Patch 10 - Capstone research, map export and engine stability
January 24, 2026The 10th patch notes for the Aether Kingdoms beta. It's amazing to see how the game has developed with all your feedback and ideas! A new developer has joined the team, we added capstone researches, a map export and a lot of bug fixes and improvements.
> Beta Patch 9 - Sitter functionality
December 23, 2025This time the patch notes are rather thin, as most work went into a single item: sitter functionality. Sitters were added to the beta server yesterday, allowing you to set anyone in your Empire as sitter. The sitter can look after your Kingdom, but with restrictions.
> Beta Patch 8 - Landmarks launched and defense coordination
December 16, 2025Blink twice and two weeks are over, especially if you're busy running a beta. The delay in writing patch notes does not mean an absence of effort. The Natural Landmarks have spawned on beta and that meant plenty of patching to do.
> Beta Patch 7 - Events and conquest balance & more responsive app
November 28, 2025Sit down and join me for the Beta Patch 7. With the help of the community the events and conquest mechanics have been tweaked to limit snowballing for attackers. The changes are pretty big, so we'll have to see how they pan out.
> Beta Patch 6 - New player improvements, Empire PvP reports and Queue improvements
November 19, 20256 weeks of beta already, time really does fly. This time some love went into the new player experience for players who start later. Early research is discounted, newly settled villages are boosted and more. And a bunch of the regular features, balance changes, improvements and bugfixes.
> Beta Patch 5 - Traderoutes, research tree and balance changes
November 11, 20255 weeks into the beta we hit the milestone of 300 registered accounts! In the server, two fronts are forming: Empire and River. Let's go over the fresh patch notes to help make warfare even more fun.
> Beta Patch 4 - Traderoute customisation and other improvements
November 06, 2025A month into the beta and things are running smoothly. The game is progressing and everyone is gearing up for the more intense midgame. Enjoy these patch notes while you wait for your queue to finish.
> Beta Patch 3 - Visual polish and balance changes
October 29, 2025Three weeks into the beta and we've passed the 250 registered accounts! It's been a wonderful journey so far and I'm looking forward to many more weeks of Aether Kingdoms. Without further ado, here's the patch notes.
> Beta Patch 2 - Empire Messaging
October 22, 2025Two weeks into the beta and things are calming down a bit. 192 accounts have been registered so far! Players are getting settled with their first Towns and third villages, now it's time to see how the server will unfold.
> First week of beta and Beta Patch 1
October 14, 2025The first week of the beta server has passed. 164 accounts were created and 15 Kingdoms settled their second villages! The reception and feedback has been great, though a bit overwhelming at times. Here's some screenshots and the patch notes.
