Art Empires 0.34.0: Face-down Reactions
Sep 27, 2026
Art Empires 0.34.0 is live. Reactions are now set face down beside the board and go off by themselves when the other side trips their trigger.
Added
- Playing a Reaction sets it face down beside your board. It takes no board space, cannot be attacked, and goes off by itself on the other side's turn when its trigger happens.
- When you design a Reaction, choose its trigger on the form: an enemy minion attacking, your deck master or Town Wall attacked, the opponent playing a minion, an Action or an Equipment, the enemy Signature, a friendly minion dying, or the end of the opponent's turn.
- The City Planner offers Add another level straight after a plan goes in, while it still has a free slot.
- A deck from another city can take on the weekly challenge: it travels to the Arena first, and the picker shows its travel time beside its name.
- The weekly challenge picker starts on the deck you last took into a challenge.
Changed
- Stopping a build is a red stop button, and it asks you to confirm and names the refund first.
- At the Auction House, Sell something shows the cards you can sell as cards, with filters, and each card has its own price and List button. Your own card listings show as cards with Cancel, and Sell something is split into Your listings, Sell resources and Sell cards.
- The weekly challenge shows only the level to fight next, with its reward as icons.
- The advisor stops asking for a Quarry, Glassworks, Coffee Grove or Mana Well once one is being built.
Fixed
- Generate Entire Card with AI works again when you have already typed a name, flavour text or description.
- When the card generator turns a request down, or cannot be reached, the button says so at once and does not spin for minutes. A turned-down request no longer counts toward the hour-long lockout.
- Winning a match no longer crashes the page while it draws the result.
- Dragging a card on the match board no longer fails when the drag passes over text.
- Pages that load a lot at once, such as a match, no longer occasionally fail to start.
