Just before the Monuments spawn on the Plain server, beta 3 is getting some new bells and whistles. Plan your strategies on the big screen with the reworked fullscreen map. View your army statistics over time, and filter personal districts on time. And a final round of polish on the Human unit art.
Features added
- The fullscreen map is back! It's been a while since we switched to the new map technology, and now the fullscreen map is back. The performance is not where we want it to be, so we'll address that in a future update. But we didn't want to hold it from you for that reason.
- We reworked the unit art to address the concerning feedback of Horseman not having lush enough hair. The new sprites are more colourful, horsemen removed their helmet and melee units polished their armour.
Enjoy AK on the big screen
- Added a dual slider to select a timeframe for the graphs on the Kingdom Statistics pages. This timeframe is stored locally between pages and sessions, so you'll always return to your previously selected settings.
- Added a Kingdom Statistics Army page, showing various army statistics over time and per unit.

Improvements made
- You can zoom out further on the map. This will increase further once we update the rendering in a future patch.
- Reworked the UI on the Kingdom Statistics pages to use the look and feel of the Dashboard everywhere.
- Kingdom Statistics graphs are now an appropriate height on all screen sizes, instead of shrinking on mobile
Bugs squashed
- The map now loads new chunks while the map is being dragged, instead of waiting for you to release it (and often failing to do so).
Hope to see you in game! Play Aether Kingdoms now!
