Hello Eclesiar Players!

We have some exciting news for you today! Due to some delays with the latest patch, we've decided to split Update 1.2 into two parts. Since some features, like the chat rework, are already finished, we’ll be releasing this first part on January 28th (after the night change from the 27th to the 28th, server time).

The update is currently available for testing on our test server: https://tests.eclesiar.com/
⚠️ Note: The test server is slow, so please be patient. We need your help testing these updates! You can share your feedback in the test server section on Discord—let us know what needs improvement or if you find any bugs!

What’s Coming in This Update?

🗨️ Chat Rework!

Originally planned for 1.3, we decided to release it earlier since it’s a huge improvement to the game!

🔹 New Chat Interface: Access chat via the new button on the left side of Eclesiar.
🔹 World Chat: Players from all nations can now talk together! There will be a cooldown to prevent spam.
🔹 Reworked National Chat: Now limited to citizens only.
🔹 Local Chat: Players who move to a country’s core regions can participate in its Local Chat, regardless of citizenship.
🔹 Military Unit Chat: Easier coordination for military units!
🔹 Social Chat: A private space for you and the players you follow.
🔹 Personal messages moved to the chat.
🔹 Emotes in Chat: Previously only available in battles—now use them in chat too! (Don’t forget to grab some from the Special Items Shop 😉).

⚖️ Balance Changes

🔹 Revolution Wars: Ground weapons can now be used in all revolutions—no need to liberate the capital first anymore!

🔹 2nd Revolution Wars change if you lost revolution battle you can't do another one for 24h and non-citizens can't do it  for 36h.
If you win, citizens can do it immediately after, non-citizens can't  do it for 12h (previously was 24h).

🔹 Air invasions now cost 15g.
