One of the Microsoft’s most successful franchises, Age of Empires, made the jump to mobile platforms a while ago. The Windows Phone game is very popular among players who prefer strategy games like Clash of Clans, for example.

Age of Empires: Castle Siege has been recently updated with lots of balancing adjustments, bug fixes and overall improvements. This isn't the first update Microsoft releases for this game, but it's one of the biggest considering the larger number of changes.

As mentioned earlier, most of these changes are balancing adjustments, such as the decrease Farm/Mill/Quarry build times to encourage players to upgrade resource collecting buildings.

Also, Microsoft confirmed it has increased storage building health to make them more difficult to snipe. The damage output of Raiders, Muscovy Knights, and Sviatoslav against storage buildings has been increased as well, in order to balance increased storage building health.

Furthermore, Peace Treaty lengths have also been increased to reduce the number of times a player is attacked while away. Another change implemented is the increased production research tech bonuses from Cathedral Resource.

Improvements and bug fixes for issues appearing at higher Ages have been added

It's also worth mentioning that the total percentage of resources available to be looted in an attack will decrease as player Age increases, in order to allow players in later ages to save enough resources to make purchases.

Last but not least, if one player decided to attack another player via revenge, then this will remove the attacking player’s Peace Treaty.

Some bug fixes have been included in the update as well. For example, viewing unit info for donated units should now display the donated unit’s level and stats instead of the player’s trained units.

Also, when a player has donated a relief unit, they will be displayed a message, but nothing will appear in the Alliance chat. According to Microsoft, these changes should help adjust the resource issues players have been affected at higher Ages.

You can now download Age of Empires: Castle Siege for Windows Phone for free via Windows Phone Store. The game is fully compatible with all devices powered by Windows Phone 8 and up.
