Based on player feedback, the Tactical Resources and the Tactical Items used to complete the Special Event Adventures have been rebalanced. The event calendar returns as the Fixture List, Adventure Tournament Mode is introduced and 2 new unique Trophies become available.
On top of that, Summer Event exclusive items like the Lucky Explorer, Building Licenses and Flowerbed flags are making a comeback.A new kind of building, the "Footie Pitch" (Culture Building) can be obtained using Footballs.
A Pre-Event Conversion was done with the version deployment end of May / early June.

New aspects & changes are highlighted in blue colour.
