First off, I use the iOS app; this may only apply here rather than to the PC and Android versions.

Every time I increase the star level of one of my kingdoms, I have noticed that the kingdom name disappears from the emblem on the world map. This persists until I move the map, so roughly 0.2 seconds after the star increase. I don’t have a screen shot of that, unfortunately.

Before today I just assumed that the text wasn’t being drawn by the graphical engine, but this screenshot suggests that something weirder is happening.

This was immediately after I upgraded Drifting Sands from 1 to 2 gold stars. For some reason, the text “Drifting Sands” appears near the kingdom emblem of Divinion Fields; as soon as I moved the map, the text disappeared and moved to the correct location. So the kingdom names _are_ being drawn, just not in the right place.

Weird, but ultimately cosmetic.

I’ve seen a similar issue on Steam when upgrading to Silver Star. Stays around till I move the map.

Happens on Steam and Android every star I’ve ever upgraded. Never reported it because, as @ozball says, it fixes itself as soon as you move the map.

This is a very old issue, existed since kingdom power was introduced. It was reported back then too but was never fixed. Most of us just got used to it, I guess.

> What you were expecting to happen, and what actually happened? Graphical glitch only. Was expecting the text for the kingdoms’ names and numbers to be in the same place. Instead, after raising a kingdom’s power, that kingdom’s text ends up as shown in the screenshots for Zhul’Kari and Khaziel. Moving the map at all returns it to its normal position. What are the steps to make it happen again? Raise a kingdom to Power Level 2, exit to main map, observe. Likely works for other Power Levels, hav…

I’m quite aware that it’s an old issue. Before today, though, I just assumed that the text wasn’t drawn, since I never saw the text at the same time as the empty emblem. Today was the first time I spotted the missing text.

Curiously, it’s much closer to the emblem in Shimrra’s images. So the position of the misplaced text changes based on either version number or operating system.

I’m iOS too, and the text typically gets drawn in roughly (but not exactly) the right place, but over two lines.
