The latest Shadow Cities update has arrived and is now available from the App Store! Download version 1.1.4 to immediately gain access to the new Recruitment Campus with unique sigils, daily missions, push notifications and much more!

Recruitment Campus? What's that?

You can find the Recruitment Campus from the Friends View. Invite your friends to Shadow Cities through Facebook, Twitter, email or by sharing your personal recruit link, however you choose, which you can find from the Recruitment Campus View.

Once your friends enter the game they will be prompted to enter the name their recruiter. If they name you, they will be assigned as your followers. The more friends you recruit the more precious sigils you will earn. Also your friends will be rewarded with unique Academy Sigils!

OK, so what else is new?

Need aid in battle? Feed a Mana Potion to your Beacon and it will send a push notification to your offline friends. If your friends tap the push notification they will jump directly to your Beacon when entering Shadow Cities.

Check out the Settings page from the Character View for push notification settings and also separate settings for sounds and vibration. You have the option to receive push notifications for emergency Beacons, attacked Dominators and new private messages.

Remember to view the Mission Log for new daily mission goals that offer extra rewards!

Follow the Staff Announcements in ‘Comms View’ to receive important information about Shadow Cities and the community!

Moving around in Shadow Cities is now easier than ever. Besides jumping to friendly targets you will now be able to warp to enemy mages and neutral and enemy controlled gateways.

What bugs have been fixed?

- Friend requests should no longer crash the client
- Muted players can be un-muted
- Character Views can be accessed from the Campaign Leaderboard View
- Several smaller stability fixes

    Thanks for the update! My gaming stopped right here! Update went somehow bad and the client didn't start. I removed it and now the installationon fails everytime so I'm signing off... You would think that your website would be mobile safari friendly, but I have to say this is pain in the arse to use with iPhone4.

    Warping to enemy and neutral gateways kinda removes the reason why I downloaded the game... :/ Earlier today I took a walk just to get close to a gate so that I could take over it, the dominators were just out of my reach. After the update I can just jump there. Makes it more "meh", makes it more like any other game.

    I agree with Pherenika (even if he/she is an architect) easy travel was not the point. Conquering gateways so you could use them to travel was the point. Even the in game text says, "you have destroyed the enemie's dominator. Now their travel will be restricted." um, no. Please change it back. Keep the game challenging.

    I totally agree with two of the posts. This update is horrible! There is no point in building doms anymore, is there? The game was about gaining and holding territory. No it's just a plain shooter...I might as wel play COD or something…

    I also agree with above. A question as well: how do you check your followers. I got one and I want to see who it is.

    Otherwise a good update. BUT!!! WTF REALLY jumping TO enemy and their GWs Stupid stupid stupid gamebreaker!!

    Not enjoying the enemy gate jump thing either. Hoping it is just for this campaign?

    Yep, making anything else than things belonging to your own team warpable totally contradicts the whole premise of this game. I mean, isn’t this supposed to be a location based MMORPG? Today I had some architects literally run through half of the city (friggin’ 6 kilometres!) in roughly 10 minutes. Took me some time to place dominators ’n stuff strategically well so that the enemy should’ve had a hard time destroying this. Well, until this update, that is.

    warping to enemy gates killed all tactics in this game, please reconsider what you have done, beacause me and alot of people are not enjoying it alot like before.

    Thank you for the feedback all! What it comes to the easier moving in Shadow Cities, we will definitely keep a close eye on this new feature and see if and what kind of changes might be needed in the future.

    The only reasonable change to this new addition is total removal of the ability to warp to neutral, enemy gateways and enemy players. This totally kills the gameplay and it's supposed "location based" approach.

    just wanted to echo the dislike for the new warping. Please consider reverting it back to only friendly gateways. Thanks!

    Thank you for caring about the opinions of your players, Khamos.

    I agree, the new warping is ridiculous. Many players have already been frustrated when their constructs are destroyed too often, and now you made reaching them EASIER?! For me personally this makes things easier since I don't harvest, but I'm sure the Archs around my neighborhoods won't be too happy. :P

    From my experience and where I live, it is much better (from an energy-gathering point of view) not to build doms and instead just jump around and kill enemy doms, spirits and lower level mages.

    And thank you Khamos for your response!

    Hey staff, Really good job on this great game, I'm loving this. But 1 thing I didn't like about this update is the ability To warp to enemy and neutral gateways. Not being able to do so was more intresting and fun. It defeats the purpose of holding on to gateways (the only reason being gathering energy). Please re consider this change; I would like if it was reverted. Thank you, continue the great job. Illumin4ti

    There is so much I dislike about the new update I can't even begin.

    As many of you know the rules can change even on weekly basis with the campaigns. Can't promise that the moving will be changed back to what it was, but some changes are being considered again for next week's campaign! FYI also that if you need more info about the Guide system and Recruitment Campus, please check out FAQ: http://www.shadowcities.com/forum/topic/796/

    I agree easy warp has ruined a good part of this game. Please remove that feature.
