Update: More Optimizations & Bugfixes

As previously mentioned, we would like to present to you our second optimizations and bugfix update.
Optimizations
As requested, the timers for the Attack Horn will now always be displayed, you may also hide this by using the fold-in timer button
The time it takes to apply time skips has been substantially reduced, and will instantly show you the remaining time. This enables you to use time skips faster and more efficiently
To keep the armorer dialog more organized, it will now consist of various tabs to sort tools into different categories
In Berimond, there will now be status bubbles indicating the production status of the auxiliaries training ground
There will be a new optional mode in the construction interface, whereby upgradable buildings will be much easier to locate through a new icon that will proactively show which buildings can be improved. You will also have the option to hide your walls in this mode
Before joining an alliance, you will now be able to access the additional information on it by clicking on the alliance's name in the list of alliances
As part of our plan to reduce the amount of pop-ups players face upon login, we will also display the Alliance Tournament rewards in the multi-reward dialog
In the equipment dialogue, there will now be a chain visual to indicate that gems cannot be equipped to Heroes
The battle reports for conquer movements (Attack/defense; won/lost) has been optimized to show the correct text and display for the appropriate landmarks
In your alliance city, there will now be an icon indicating that by upgrading the city, players will be granted royal coin loot boosts.
