Art Empires 0.43.0: Crews at sea and an island Mural

Oct 03, 2026

Art Empires 0.43.0 is live. Send spare cards on Expeditions and hang a card on your island’s Mural to raise production.

  • Send spare cards on Expeditions from your Port. Choose from three daily sites, bring home resources and gold, and sometimes find a card. You can recall a crew early.
  • Hang a card on your island’s Mural to raise every city’s production there. The island’s steward can choose a theme for a further bonus.
  • Give the AI optional instructions when designing a card.
  • The city grid shows each planned plot’s place in the City Planner.
  • New card names fit within 24 characters. Previously designed cards with longer names keep them.
  • Tidepool needs Brimming Slime to replace its sold card. It returns to the starter deck chooser once the replacement is available.
  • Building pages show the same population as the city page.
  • Cards on a public profile’s Gallery walls show the edition actually hanging.
  • Card filters stay within narrow screens.
  • Your art submission gallery shows loading tiles while refreshing, and a generated card scrolls its preview into view.

Art Empires is my city-building empire game you play in your browser, and every card in it is a deviation submitted by the artist who made it. Play Art Empires at ArtEmpires.com, or read the full changelog.
