I hated the forum closing You dont know what you have till its gone. This is so freaken awesome

Didn't follow Discord when the old forum died and was just going to treat the new game contents cold turkey without any too updated information, until an alliance mate told us today about this and had to see it for myself. I missed browsing the forum (even if mostly reading and browsing) and seeing the posts of familiar names. Thank you @ AeroMatix (E&P Forums) for making this possible.

Welcome all, to the new Empires & Puzzles forum. This has been a labour of extremely hard and non-stop work for many months to bring you this, hopefully you are content with what you see. Please read our rules and our forum guide to fully participate on our forum.

Lastly, please consider joining our Discord - and if you're kind enough, show some support to my other project Nostalgia Roleplay (Rust, Garry's Mod, and FiveM servers). Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy what I've made for years to come and that it fills the hole in your heart that SGG created when they shut the old forum down. - AeroMatix, Owner & Developer

Hi everyone! Someone said “forum,” and a wild Snark appears! Looking forward to the rebirth, and as always

I’m honestly amazed at how this place already feels less like a “new” forum and more like coming back to a familiar home. There’s something comforting about seeing old names, old energy, and that spark of community waking up again. Thank you for kicking things off and encouraging everyone to jump back in whether it’s reviving the classics we loved or creating new chaos together. It’s good to be back.

A new forum. Lots of thoughts. Memories. Expectations. All the more reason to say a big thank you to everyone involved, especially @ AeroMatix (E&P Forums) ! What now? Let's give it a try. So here's my first thread. Why? I don't know myself. Nostalgia. To reconnect with old forum friends. Let's see what happens. What can you definitely expect from me? Sarcasm. And music. So welcome new forum! Welcome to the new forum! And welcome to my first new thread! Totally off topic.

Gargons´s Guides So here´s the rundown on all the guides, which are archived on the Gargon´s Guides discord server and kept up-to-date there (well kinda anyway).

Hello all, I have missed you. Discord / Line just ain't the same. I liken the forums to writing letters to each other, sharing information, gossip, good times; and Discord to hanging around the water cooler just shootin' the

Hi everyone! It's nice to be back, kind of. Thanks AeroMatix for all your hard work

Thank you to all for bringing back the forum in an accessible format!

I also want to take a moment to thank some legendary folk who have and are posting content for you all: @ birksg - For his amazing Calendars and "magic ball" access and predictions. @ Zanémarossi - For bringing her and @ PlayForFun 's guides over, a lot of effort went into it. @ PlayForFun - For helping to fill out the Hero Topics, as always the legend pulls through - printing hero topics is hard work. @ Maryij - Ghost Division RO - For helping me fill out the Dragon Topics and being my right-hand lady. And thank you to our volunteer Moderation team!

Hello! Glad to see this forum is active again. It looks really awesome. I was quite active in the previous one but stopped following discussions on Discord (it's too chaotic. lol).

Here is the TENTATIVE FEBRUARY 2026 Calendar of Events in multiple formats. This initial calendar may contain mistakes. If you spot any errors, please reply in this thread—I'll fix them in the next update. ENGLISH VERSION SGG Official Calendar (Discord Link) English Calendar by BirksG (Feb 11) Jump to latest ADDITIONAL LANGUAGES Discord Calendar Thread for other languages (Discord Link)

Game has evolved a lot since its inception and playing for the first time, even without spending seem to have changed a lot as to what's available initially (e.g. events and contents that are available now versus years ago). 1* and 2* heroes will tie you over initially but will become feeders to better heroes that you will eventually get. Sharan the 1* healer and Sha Ji the 2* healer will be your primary source to keep you alive for the time being. Layla the purple 2* and Bane the 3* yellow would likely be your primary damage output for a while, depends on how quickly you acquire heroes of higher rarity. Focus on getting the base infrastructure (buildings and research) updated to keep the constant resources (namely food and iron) to come in, you will need these to craft battle items, upgrade heroes, etc. Even if you manage to get a 5* hero, put him/her on the side as you will not have the resource initially to fully upgrade him/her when just starting. Instead, focus on fielding a full 3* team (they can be fully upgraded with ascension material that can be farmed), followed by a full 4* team. Upgrade your troops as they are like equipped items that will keep your heroes alive. Visit the Empire and Puzzles Webstore daily as you can get free resources with the daily gifts, some of these are summon currencies that can be used in the various summoning portals, which can provide you access to heroes that are more powerful than what you initially have available. Join and alliance when you are able to and help contribute so you can earn additional resources from helping defeat titans and get help from alliance mates. Gems can be spent on a variety of areas. You would need to have some on hand to spend on roster expansion as your hero count goes up. Most importantly they could be saved up for summoning for new heroes (multi-summon helps provide some discount in total gems spent). Don't worry if you can't get very far in the campaigns or beat certain stages initially, it takes time and resources to build up. What's said here is very general and broad, but remember this game is not a sprint, but a marathon. Good luck to you.

It will take time for it to establish itself, so this is the most important time for people to really show it some love whilst it grows into the forum it deserves to be.

Good Morning friends. Big thanks to all the passionate players willing to take on the challenge of bringing back the forum to the players. Your hard hard work and passion for the game is so appreciated. Chadmo

I thought it might be time to come here myself... I started on the old forum back in May 2 2019, not quite the original crowd but I knew a lot of the old timers. It is good to have a platform like this back and to see so many familiar faces here! I can't wait till the day where this becomes everything it was supposed to be: for the community. When the old forum went down, I scrambled to stay in touch with people any way I could. I copied topics, but not nearly enough. I look forward to reconnecting with the older crew, and meeting the new. P.S, you'll be seeing me around a lot

The Forum & Discord just got a big upgrade, check it out! I have spent the entirety of my time since launch on polishing and adding new features to both the forum and Discord, today I am pleased to announce these changes are complete and I am happy with the state both are in. The forum has had a plethora of work done, It's also had an addition of an entire section of playable games! Yes, I do take the "Puzzles" part seriously, and "Community Games" are back, go and create your own awesome forum games for the community! I highly recommend you check it out! (The "GAMES" drop down is on the top navbar.) Discord has been streamlined as much as it can be to be the most useful yet still feature-packed server you can have, nothing you see here is useless, and we've also brought back the ⁠#community-games, head on over and tell me your ideas for me to start some game channels up! And lastly, once again please invite your friends and alliances to our forum and Discord and we'd love to see you interacting with both - this is the best way to show support for our project! I'd like to stress that we are left to our own devices which means we NEED you guys to help spread the word about our forum and Discord - please start linking our forum when you can if you see others in need! Discord Invite: https://discord.gg/3qWZgVYG4P - A side note from the announcement - if you are willing to help post hero topics, please DM me - we have started to create a team for it but we need more help. (You only have to be able to: read, comprehend instructions, copy and paste, and type.)

Well, found the new forum by empuzzled.com. I'm very happy to have "it" back. Never used Discord and reddit was frustrating. Hope it will grow fast I forgot: THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Howdy all! Time for *return of the Snark* as I chip in my own personal reviews of this jam-packed Soul Exchange! Good hunting https://www.bobthesnark.org/soulexchange

So many more options available here beyond simply 'like'. I am confused

Hello everyone, I have been playing the game since 2017. It is great to have a proper forum again Thank you to everyone who made this happen!

Kudos to @ AeroMatix (E&P Forums) for all the hard work & dedication & pulling people together!

This is giving the community a voice back again, thank you for creating this space!

Hey everyone! Glad we have a Forum again

Welcome all to the Empires & Puzzles community forum! We are close to release but I need your help! If you find any bugs/issues or have any suggestions please post them in the Discord channel #beta-members

What's the KitKatClub? Founded in the old forum, revived in Discord and now revived here again, it is familiar to old forum members. But for you... yes, I mean you... it's new. What is it about? It's about relaxation. And about exchanging thoughts. But first and foremost, it's about music. So post one of your favourite songs, for example. Or a song that describes you. Or a song that you dedicate to someone else. Or a song that describes your current mood. Or something funny. Or just because. And maybe you'll share your thoughts on it. So go ahead! Be brave! We don't bite! Most of the time...

That's my secret, Cap...

I'm here!

What now? Post and respond as you would usually. I think there's some quote like "the best time to plant a tree was many years ago. The second best time is today". Regardless of all of the missed forum knowledge, seems like the bes thing to do is to just use the forum.

Or, to put it another way..

Hello everybody! It is back! Miss great people ^^

There is always a need for

Looks amazing! great work!

Let's make this great and get our old forum friends back!

I would definitely be choosing between cXiaotu and cJett.They both have modern stats, while Daemon is just too old for today's game. Don't underestimate them because of their specials. Their real usefulness is in the passives. cXiaotu blocks minion attacks and abilities, while Jett cuts mega minion health 75% Personally I'd go with cXiaotu because minions are a problem that's just getting started (the new construct heroes minions are already tough, and they're about to receive a buff that will make them even worse), whereas mega minions are sort of disappearing from the meta right now (mostly because heroes like cJett counter them so well.)

I decided to open the first topic here... This is Vivica in a distant future, with her mecha dragon. (Done with SORA; edited on Photoshop)

I vaguely remember KitKatClub (why this name??), though I never participated.; just listened to a song or two that caught my attention. After seeing a lot of english songs, I decided to bring to the borad something different. - CANÇÃO NOTURNA (Nocturnal Song) is my favorite song by the Brazilian band SKANK. The lyrics are very complex and there is no real consensus about what they mean, but most people say it is about two lovers separated by a country's borders. The man repeatedly says that "he sees her eyes in lagoons/street corners/gaps/schooners" - all of wich are words with very similar sound in portuguese. Theri is no official video for this song, as far as I know, so here is the "Lyric video" I hope you enjoy if you ever click here.

I must say it feels familiar and weird at the same time when seeing the forum again, even if it isn't officially supported by SGG. I will most likely continue to use this forum as the bridge towards game contents and its active and vocal players and chime in occasionally as I had done when the old forum was alive. It's good to see some familiar names already here.

Hello party people Glad to read you all in a familiar style

Glad to be here! Thanks for making these forums.

Excited to see where this goes! This looks great so far!
