Art Empires 0.21.0: Every town's copy of a building, one press away

Sep 17, 2026

Art Empires 0.21.0 is live. A building's page lists that building in each of your towns, every city's menu opens on its island, and a raid on a player who is not there can be played by hand.

  • A building's page carries a row of the towns where you have one, with the level each has reached. Press one to read that town's. A town with two Storehouses shows both.
  • The list under a city in My empire opens with Island at its address, drawn with that island's own tile from the world map.
  • Your Diplomat has a sheepish face to send, and the emotion picker is a grid that fits the screen you are on.
  • When you raid someone who has not played in a long time, you can take the controls and play the match yourself. Their deck plays their side. Against everyone else, you still play by hand only if they do too.
  • Your advisor no longer asks you to upgrade a Statehouse your crews are already building to that level.
  • Generate with AI on the submit form answers again, and a reply is no longer thrown away for using a word like bearer.
  • The options in a dropdown are drawn in your colour scheme, so they can be read in dark mode.
