I am excited to announce a change we’ve decided to make to the game which I think will be both very exciting for existing players as well as some prospective players which were turned off by how empires currently function.

In order to experiment with integrating empires more deeply into the gameplay, the premium currency, Hexite Shards, will no longer be used for founding, expanding, or maintaining Empire territory. Instead, expanding empires will rely on a new item that can only be obtained from the world through gameplay. Empires in BitCraft will remain a cosmetic system, and players will still be able to purchase cosmetics for their empires like banners, emblems, and statues, etc., but the core territory capture gameplay will not be tied to premium currency.

While empires will undoubtedly stay a status oriented facet of gameplay, this change allows us to experiment with making empire territory more impactful to the gameplay and world without compromising on our values. This is just the first of several changes we are trying out to make empires more rewarding and a better overall social experience with a deep dive being released as a design blog in the next few days. We’re super excited to see what this experiment can mean for the future of BitCraft empires.
