[info] Direct Relief Defense Tower!
Zynga.org has teamed up with Direct Relief International to bring you this new Defense Tower! It's available to all users level 10 and above, and doesn't require any buildable parts to create (though you still need Zipp to use it). It also has a larger radius than the current Defense Towers, for a wider area of effect!
Naturally, 100% of the proceeds from the sale of the Direct Relief Defense Tower are going directly to Direct Relief International's Emergency Preparedness Fund.
[Info] Nighty Minis, Size Does Matter!
It’s time to go Mini in Empires & Allies! We see a new batch of Limited Edition units and decorations, all being “miniature”. We see the appearance of Light Artillery Vehicle and a Mule Robot, aswell as a Julius Caesar Statue. These aren’t the strongest units in the game, but who doesn’t want some tiny units to infiltrate the enemy lines? Later today we will also see the appearance of “tiny” UAV Drones (both regular and elite versions).
Here’s a sneak peak at what the UAV Drones will look like:
[Guide] Experimental Units
This is a whole new game mechanic! Starting at level 20, you can now start building some of the brand new Experimental Units, including the Sea Shadow and the Hospital Ship, as well as the Tactical ATV and the M-163 Vulcan! These are a different class of units with entirely new special abilities that can affect combat in various ways.
What are Experimental Units?
Experimental Units are are a new type of unit, outside of the usual "Rock/Paper/Scissors" combat system. They use a rare new power source called "Element Z" to power dramatic new abilities!
How do I build them?
Experimental units are built in Experimental buildings!
So far, only the Experimental Barracks and Experimental Dock are available, which build Land and Naval units respectively. In the new buildings, Experimental Units are built just like normal units.
What do I need to do to use them?
Experimental Units are powered by Element Z.
Element Z is a rare new power source discovered by Dr. Seabolt! With it, our units can do things that we never thought possible.
The Element Z bar appears in combat. You will start automatically with a full Element Z bar, but you'll have to refill it yourself. Element Z can be purchased for EP or gifted by your neighbors, so be sure to be generous!
What Experimental Units are there, and what do they do?
Remember: The Experimental Air Force Units are coming very soon!

Empires & Allies Level Cap Raise to 65!

Along with the raise to the Experience Level Cap, the Honor/Infamy caps were also raised. So what are you waiting for? Get out there and level up!

Zynga’s Adventure World Details: Trailer Analysis
I am sure that you have already seen the Adventure World trailer posted by Zynga on YouTube (which, by the way, was pretty soon withdrawn and only IGN’s version remained) and if you didn’t, you should not worry too much: you can, in the first place, check it out by clicking the previous link and also read on this article for more Adventure World details from this trailer analysis.
Of course, being a teaser trailer, I was not able to draw in too much information about Adventure World, but there were still there some pretty interesting details that I am happy to share with you. Let’s start with the first Adventure World screenshot analysis, an image that shows us actually more areas in the upcoming game. Check it out below:
First of all, we can see that the graphics are indeed very detailed and diverse and if we are to say that Adventure World looks a lot like Zynga’s any other game, that would be Treasure Isle (by the way, is anybody still playing that?). Also, we can understand that the map is basically divided into a lot of squares and it is very important where we set foot: a wrong move could trigger a trap and hurt us. We can see also that there are many areas that we can’t apparently reach and that’s where the puzzles come into play!Let’s get to the second image now:
This one has the main purpose to show us how traps work: the in-game character moves to draw the snake after her (really seems like a lady to me) and the trap is triggered while the snake goes to meet its maker. Pretty nice!Probably the third picture has the most details for us:
As you can see, we are shown how neighbor interacting will be done in the game and from the screenshot we can see that friends will be able to actually (as in physically) help us complete the puzzles, even though asynchronously: they can move objects, trigger different traps and stand on specific tiles that should help us solve puzzles (as seen in the upper right corner of the image above). Very interesting!The fourth image shows us the fighting part in Adventure World:
As you can see, we can use our own weapons – the Whip in this case – to fight against creatures and clear the way. However, early info we got about the game tells us that fighting against animals consumes more energy than finding a different way would.And finally, the fifth image:
Here we are shown that sometimes, when things block our way, there’s only one thing to do: blow them apart and carry on with our quest.So all in all I think that we can all agree that things are looking pretty nice in Adventure World, right?
Don’t forget to like Adventure World Info on Facebook to stay up to date with everything related to the game and please help us let people know that we exist by sharing this page on Facebook. Thank you!
