Art Empires 0.22.0: Platinum, Appraisers and paid supply lines

Sep 18, 2026

Art Empires 0.22.0 is live. Overgrown Gallery wins now pay platinum, which buys a city's last building plot and extra supply lines, and Appraisers can look inside another player's city before you raid it.

  • Winning at the Overgrown Gallery pays platinum, shown in the menu bar beside your General. Your first win at each level pays the most, and it comes home in the hold with the rest of the loot.
  • Every city has two more building plots: one opens with Urban Planning research, and the other is unlocked with platinum.
  • Train Appraisers at the new Appraiser's Office and send them to another player's city to read its buildings, its Storehouse or a sample of its deck, or to find weak points in its wall before a raid. Warders trained at your Art Gallery catch the ones sent to you. See Scouting.
  • A supply line beyond your free coffee line can carry any resource, for platinum, 30 days at a time.
  • The details of a card list every copy you own: its grade, and whether it is in a deck, on a gallery wall, for sale or at sea.
  • Your Diplomat can mark a conversation as unread.
  • Your advisor tells you what an Auction House is for, and when something goes on sale there.
  • Hover over a resource's bar to see how much you hold out of how much you can store.
  • Generate Entire Card with AI on the submit form writes a card's name, text and numbers from its picture.
  • The Shipping Office writes each supply line as one sentence you set with dropdowns, says why a run sent nothing, and lists its recent shipments.
  • Losing a raid on another player wears the attacker's fallen cards and deck master. The defender's cards never wear.
  • A repair takes time for each grade of wear, and the card keeps its old grade until it is done. You can repair while other cards are still on the bench.
  • The Auction House shows cards for sale as full cards, with filters folded behind one button.
  • The deck editor shows your deck master first.
  • When shipping resources, the -1k button sits before the amount.
  • Sending a reply to your Diplomat no longer scrolls the page to the top.
  • A supply line no longer says every city is topped up when its next run is about to send.
