One of the most successful mobile games developed by Microsoft, Age of Empires: Castle Siege has just received a major update that completely changes the powers of one of the heroes included in the game.

But the update brings a huge amount of changes including balance adjustments, improvement, new gameplay features, performance enhancements and bug fixes.

Among the new features included in this update is the Alliance Donations Tab. This means that Alliance Relief Force Donations are now tracked under the new “Donations” tab of the Alliance Chat.

As mentioned earlier, the main theme of the update is Henry V and the hero's revitalization. According to developers, Henry's new theme is “wreaking chaos from distance,” so players should expect some powerful ranged abilities to be added to this hero.

Improved ranged abilities for Henry V

The first ability added for Henry is the Disable casting range which has been increased by 100%. After the duration of Disable expires, the targeted tower's attack rate is reduced by half for the rest of the battle.

Also, Henry's attack range has been increased by 12.5%, while his damage has been increased by 25%. Last but not least, Henry will prioritize wall troops over other targets that are within his attack range.

Lots of bug fixes have been implemented as well, such as units converted by Joan, which will now properly group with attacking units of the same type.

Developers also fixed an issue where Grenadiers' projectile would occasionally appear to miss targets that were in fact being struck. This means that visuals should now match the intended behavior.

Also, players that have been muted will now remain so until the application is reloaded. Forum links have been added to News scrolls and other general improvements to usability, UI, stability, crashes and connection errors have been implemented too.

The full changelog of update 1.10 for Age of Empires: Castle Siege is huge, so we have added the full list of changes below.
