New features

• House types
  
  Those who find a simple house boring after a while can now breathe a sigh of relief: New property has found its way into Travianland. A park, mausoleum, tower and palace are now available as residences. A thieves' cave, tavern and farm will also be added in one of the next releases.
  
  
• House life
  
  Those who'd like to put more life into their houses should take a look in the house editor. Thanks to the great idea from the village life team, domestic staff members are now available to you. You can hire them for 30 days. (These 30 days are not affected by vacation mode or inactivity. The duration of the staffs' contracts may be extended as often as you want). In the brand new animation editor you can allocate any staff member a freely adjustable movement sequence so that they walk through a room or even dance with other staff members synchronously for example. Creative imaginations can really run riot here! Have fun experimenting with this new feature and many thanks again to the village life team for the excellent work!
  
  
• Adjustment to the festival hall
  
  The festival hall now receives a make-over for big events, like Halloween or Christmas for example, showing its best side. You should definitely take a look during the coming Oktoberfest.

Feature improvements

• Feeding the beast: Reloaded
  
  All those who feed the Minotaur daily will be able to complete the task more quickly from now on. The extra-quest texts are shortened after completing the quest once and all the required items can now be obtained from Odysseus. The SP cost of lamb has also been reduced from 1000 to 700 social points.
  
  
• Set room type
  
  You may now give your rooms their own individual name once you've reached generation 4.
  
  
• New letter paper
  
  For those of you who like sending mail, there's now a brand new letter paper. Penpalus always likes having visitors and enjoys showing off his expansive offering. You can find new motifs from Thalassos and other things by visiting him.
  
  
• Furniture collections
  
  The Thalassos collection has received the furniture items from the 'Feeding the beast' extra-quest and there has also been expansion regarding the animals.
  
  
• Screen bound furniture items
  
  Some information for all the tinkerers – in the house editor you can now more easily differentiate 'room and screen bound furniture items' from 'screen bound furniture items' thanks to new icons.
  
  
• Reworking of the guild timeline
  
  More events are now shown in the guild timeline. You can now see against which guild a war has been declared and with which result it ended as well as when a tournament began. Furthermore, a sort function has been integrated, with which entries can be better filtered.
  
  
• Reworking of the player context menu
  
  The player context menu has been reworked so that you now have the possibility to enter the guild house from there as well as open the most important chats individually.

Additional Information

• Smaller improvements and fixes
  
  Here are some of the most important and noteworthy changes: The medals 'Petri healing' and 'Master angler' have been adjusted. For the tinkerers among you, there are now white floors and walls which can be better suited to the colors of your furniture. From now on you will receive reports for guild wars and battles of honor regarding victories, defeats and the outcomes of individual battles. You can now see in the member overview of the guild whether a member has been online in the last 14 days or not.
