We have made a major technical upgrade to Gems of War so we will be able to look at supporting next gen consoles and other new hardware in future updates.
We have added a new type of flash offer to the game – Tiered Flash Offers
Tiered Flash Offers will offer 3 different types of offers at different price points, based on a shared theme. Examples of themes are the Gnome Vault, Underworld or Deeds.
These offers can be purchased in any order, and each have their own limit to how many times they can be purchased.
We have a new status effect – Lycanthropy. While a troop is affected by Lycanthropy there is a chance that it will trigger and transform them into a random beast.
This status effect will feature in a future campaign, where it will play a big part in its story. For the moment, you will only be able to see it via the “Random Status Effect” that some spells and traits inflict upon enemies.
We have updated several Immunity traits to include immunity to Lycanthropy:
I Believe in a Higher Power is showing 0/5 for me even though I have 20 kingdoms at or above power 15. But the other new achievement popped up immediately for me.
It’s also broken on consoles. Maybe leveling a kingdom will make it pop, but mine are maxed so I can’t check. You’d think they could make it retroactive.
Explode a chosen gem, and the gems to the left and right of that gem. (5x3)
Explode gems in a diamond pattern around a chosen gem (1-3-5-3-1)
Destroy a gem and both gems to the left and both gems to the right of it. (Villager++, 1x5)
etc.
Color targets
Destroy up to {magic/2} green and yellow gems. (dual colour)
Explode 3 brown gems. If there are more than 13 blue gems, explode 3 more red gems. (3 colour dynamics)
etc.

Well the game is now badly broken on ps4 from this update. 3 total game crashes playing pvp in 15 minutes. Trophy for leveling kingdoms to 15 is not achieved even though I have 14 kingdoms leveled to 15, including 2 today after the update. Please fix the game and PAY a QA staff PLEASE!!!
Same here. I’m betting that we’re going to have to increase the power level on one of the kingdoms to trigger the achievement counter. Easy for me, because I’m still doing Classes, harder for those that are completely done. They’d have to wait till next week.
We will have reached a truly sad point in state of affairs if the devs don’t even know that the stars column saw below is “Kingdom Power Level” and the column left to it is just “Kingdom Level”.
