Your first conquest The Herald now names real ground on your first day — a Crown holding near you, with the map framed on it. No more standing in an empty realm wondering what to do. The tour is gone Five cards before you had walked a step. The game now explains itself where explaining is needed: the Armoury, the Empire and the Market each teach their own screen while they are still empty. Your founding claim pays Close your first loop and the Seat dream shows you the far end of the ladder you have just stepped onto, and the Herald sets your claim down in the chronicle. Watch the land close A march now shades the ground you are enclosing as you walk it, with the distance still to close. You can see the claim forming instead of hoping for it. A loop that does not close explains itself Walk a loop that falls short and the verdict teaches you enclosure rather than blaming you for missing it. March types say what they are Each march type now names the real activity behind it, so you are not guessing which one matches your morning. The Crown owns every ghost Unclaimed ground was never truly unclaimed. The map says so now. Also fixed - A refused house name no longer skips you past naming your house, and the refusal appears where you typed it - Signing out restores the full first run, so a shared device starts clean - The Herald's charge waits for a real GPS fix instead of guessing - The Strava import checks your connection before blaming the dates - Notifications register again every time you return to the app - Distances, paces and elevations follow your units everywhere — the campaign, the summit and the lock screen all agree - French, Portuguese and Spanish: the crest step, the permission cards and the Empire subtitle are all properly translated The land is won on foot.

Your march is no longer lost if you're signed out mid-march. If your session ends while a march is still unsent — a dropped connection, an expired sign-in — the march is kept. Sign back in and it submits itself. Previously it was discarded. Also in this release: • Fixed a crash in The Market for players using Spanish, French or Portuguese. • You can now report a holding's name. • When a name can't be used, the reason is explained in your own language, and asks you to choose another rather than to try again. • One "Begin Your March" button on the dashboard instead of two. • The heraldic mark beside the wordmark no longer looks like a button. • Consistent treatment for labels and controls throughout.

French and Portuguese The app now speaks both. Pick your language in Profile and everything moves with it — the herald's dispatches, your realm standing, the lot. Spanish, properly 164 strings that had never been translated, and 229 rewritten by a native speaker. Walls are murallas throughout now: the word for a city's defences, not a garden fence. Your first march The Fervor gauge used to judge you before it had anything to judge. With no history to measure against it now says so plainly, and Realm Standing does the same rather than showing you an empty card. Cold GPS A march could sit silent while the phone worked out where it was. It says so now, and warms up a fix before you set off. Also fixed - Signing in no longer stalls while the keychain is read - Treasure seals keep their place on a crowded map - A Sellsword's Mark reads as a proper bordure - The Fervor gauge is legible in daylight - Castle plans name the stage they are quoting - The Castle stops claiming you hold no Seat when it simply could not reach the server - Free-trial eligibility comes from the App Store instead of a guess - Founding members are no longer told their membership runs out in 2226 The land is won on foot.

Spanish, properly. Ashenmarch now speaks Spanish beyond the menus. Distances and numbers use the right decimal separator, holding names and claim ages read in Spanish, and the wording was reviewed rather than machine-dropped. Also in this version: • Your first march no longer opens to a blank map. The parchment and your position are there from the start, instead of thirty seconds in. • Campaign maps fill their frame — a long north-south route is no longer squeezed into a sliver with bare parchment either side. • Your holdings draw at every zoom, not only when you're close in. • The ground around you is surveyed before your first march, so there's land to claim when you set out. • Shared campaign links now open in the app. • Terrain reads properly on the live march map at true scale. • Naming your house is legible again.

Fixes for a smoother start: • The Membership screen now loads reliably, and never bars your way when it can't reach the citadel. • Members returning after reinstalling are recognised straight away. • Buttons now respond across their whole width, not just the lettering. • Holding details open correctly for holds under siege.
