Ubisoft had plans to then port it to consoles and that’s what he did without warning this week.

- Connecting mansions together will not show a visual connection between buildings (archs, etc.). Gameplay will not be affected;
- In the 4v4 Skirmish game, all players will be limited to 250 units (down from 500).
