Greetings, Dragon Lords! v4.30 of War Dragons is coming with more bug fixes, a few notable Atlas gameplay changes, and UI improvements. Significant Atlas performance improvements have been added as well. Read on to find out more!
Read EVERYTHING
GENERAL
- Updated App Icon.
Gameplay
- [Atlas] Direct attacks against a castle’s Castle Guards now requires having more Troops on the attacking Primarch than the SUM of all the Troops of all the enemy Primarchs present.
This is a mechanics change from the previous rule where the attacking Primarch only needed to have more Troops than each individual Primarch present.
- [Atlas] When replacing a Primarch by Summoning a new one, if the Primarch being replaced had more Troops in its escort than the max capacity of the new Primarch, the excess Troops will be added to your Barracks.
- [Atlas] Governors who change teams will no longer take possession of the castles they govern with them.
- [Atlas] Lockdown is no longer in effect when Event Shields are active.
- [Atlas] Maximum teams allowed for Free Passage increased from 2 to 5.
- [Atlas] When castle upkeep expires, the team will lose control of their castle, but instead of losing all of their castle guards, 30% are lost and the remaining 70% of will be converted back into Team Glory.
User Interface
- [Atlas] Tapping on teams in the Alliance menu now brings up information about that team.
- [Atlas] Replaced “Loading…” text with “Moving your Home.” when there is a delay in setting a new Home.
- [Atlas] Added badge notifications to the Alliances icon to notify Officers and Leaders of Alliance actions that need attention.
[Atlas] Troop Transfer icon on the radial menu for Neutral Castles has been made more consistent since Garrisons no longer exist to be transferred onto.
Other

This prevents players from taking up the name of a former team to gain Atlas access.
