"Renewable Energy & Emirates Revamp" is now live!

[h2]Greetings Builders![/h2]

We are excited to announce the release of our ninth major update for Kingdoms Reborn!

This update introduces exciting gameplay features to bring new challenges and greater depth to the experience. We’ve also given a vibrant redesign to the Emirates faction, with reimagined buildings and animations to enrich the faction’s aesthetics.


[h2]Renewable Energy and Pollution System![/h2]
Transition to renewable energy to keep pollution under control.
In the Industrial Age, fuel becomes essential for generating electricity to power all production buildings. However, relying on fuel can lead to pollution build-ups, harming citizens' health, happiness and reducing farm yields.



[h2]Skyscraper Offices[/h2]
This building enhances productivity of all buildings. The more citizens it holds, the greater the bonus. Upgrade it to expand capacity and maximize its effects.



[h2]Reimagining of the Emirates faction[/h2]
We’ve completely reimagined the Emirates faction, enriching each building with redesigned structures and animations that improve both clarity and aesthetics.



The Emirates faction now gains instant visibility of all Oil nodes on the map and also has exclusive access to the Advanced Oil Rig building, establishing fuel advantages over other factions.



[h2]Other Changes[/h2]
  • All Era 4 buildings now use electricity right away
  • Replaced World Trade Office with Office
  • Adjusted resources pricing
  • Reworked Upgrade Points
  • Copy building button now requires Wild Card
  • Countless gameplay rebalance and bug fixes


Thank you everyone for your support, we hope you enjoy this new update :)

Major Update: New User Interface Update is now live!


We are thrilled to announce the release of our eighth major update for Kingdoms Reborn.

This update completely overhauls the game's user interface (UI). We’ve redesigned the UI to be more engaging, and visually stunning. Dive into Kingdoms Reborn and enjoy the dynamic new look!


We have added the victory screen. Now, when you win, your citizens will cheer and celebrate your success, honoring your hard-fought journey and achievements. This addition not only highlights your accomplishments but also provides a satisfying conclusion to all your efforts, making the endgame experience more rewarding and memorable.


We're also pleased to introduce key bindings as part of this update. This feature allows you to customize your controls to better fit your playstyle, making the game more accessible and enjoyable. Head over to the game settings menu to personalize your controls and enhance your experience in Kingdoms Reborn.


The game HUD visuals have been polished. We reworked the UI backgrounds, and motifs to improve immersion.


We’ve revamped the in-game graphs with a fresh new design, improving its visuals and functionality. Players can now hover over the graph lines to see exact values, making it easier to analyze information and make better decisions and strategies.


Our tutorial book has been completely revamped for a cleaner and easier-to-read experience. The redesigned layout ensures a seamless flow of information, making it intuitive for new players to quickly navigate and understand the game. Each section provides clear and concise information so that newcomers can easily grasp the game's mechanics


We’ve introduced animations to some parts of the UI. These animations not only enhance the visual appeal but also make interacting with the game more fun and enjoyable.

[h2]Optimizations[/h2]
  • Optimized citizen simulation for better late-game performance.
  • Fixed bugs causing lag before 1000 citizens, letting you focus on strategy and growth without performance issues as your kingdom expands.


Thank you, everyone. Hope you enjoy the new update :)
