          DEVELOPER BLOG
         
         
          We now have an Illyriad Developer Blog : "Beneath the Misted Land". This is where we will be sharing our musings, dev tips, press releases and whatnot. Posts made here will automagically be pushed out to the Illyriad twitter. 
         
         
          

         
         
          OPENID
         
         
          New and existing players can use the Register New Player page to sign up (or link) their account using their Google, Yahoo, AOL, myOpenID, OpenId, Wordpress, LiveJournal, Blogger, Verisign, ClaimId, ClickPass or Google Profile accounts - which means you can use this linked account to sign into Illyriad without having to remember the finicky details of user name and password.
         
         
          

         
         
          
            
             BOUNCING TAX COLLECTORS
            
            
             
               
                A bug whereby tax collectors either en route to or returning from a player who has left (or been kicked) from the alliance would "eternally bounce" between locations has been fixed.  If the player isn't in the alliance when the tax collectors arrive at either end, these newly-fanatical collectors kill themselves to avoid the eternal shame of their taxation failure.
               
            
         
         
          

         
         
          NEGATIVE CARAVAN COUNT
         
         
          
             
              A bug which allowed players to accept trades when they had no caravans available to carry the gold  - and therefore allowed them to have (-1) Caravans in their town - has been resolved.
             
             
              

             
           
            FOUND ALLIANCE 
           
           
            When trying to found an alliance, if unsuccessful, it now gives you the reason why. This should make it a less tricky business.
           
           
            
             
              

             
             
              HOSTILE MESSENGERS
             
             
              Messengers
               should no longer appear as hostile units on the map
             
             
              

             
             
              GENDER CHOICE ON SIGN-UP
             
             
              We've made some changes which will mean there are less gender reassignments occurring
               on sign-up.
