Non gameplay changes
IE users with the Google Chrome Frame plugin will now benefit from it on AatW as well.

*bugfix* Usernames with non standard characters will now not anymore display other weird replacement characters in archives/search/mail and other places with JavaScript. (this does not fix many non standard characters witten prior to age 29)

Other
As some of you might already have seen, with help from a few others I(HaRRy) have created two tools that can help you calculate needed units to send on an attack or help you calculate how many buildings you have to construct.
Even though these tools are developed by Orkfia admins they are in fact nothing more than 3rd party tools. No current or future Orkfia developer is responsible for the correct working of these tools.

Attack calculator
Construction helper
The working is simple. You go the advisor page of your tribe(military/construction) and copy the entire page and paste that page inside the white box on the bottom of the tool. The same can be done with archived intel. The construction helper will even remember filled in numbers for the target input fields.
Read it all through and mark the right checkboxes and fill in any remaining data(fame etc) and you'll see the outcome. If you need more help, please ask so in the world forum or on IRC.
