Update of Season of the Founders

At Uncrowned Empire, our mission has always been to provide our community with free, easily accessible content. After much consideration, we have decided not to implement a seasonal-based content model for the foreseeable future. The reason is simple: we don't want to withhold content releases and updates just to ensure a seasonal package is filled with content.

Our commitment is to timely, ongoing updates that serve our community's needs right when they arise. Waiting to release valuable content goes against this commitment and does not align with our ethos of free and open access to all our resources.

As a result, we regret to announce that the planned 'Season of the Founders' will not be moving forward. However, this doesn't mean that we don't have exciting updates to share. In fact, we have several enhancements and new features that we'll be rolling out soon.

Thank you for your continued support and understanding. We're excited about the future, and we hope you are too.

• Light mode is now the default theme, dark mode is still available.
• Clubs are now located under the Forums menu.
• Support Ticket System removed from the menu.

• Clubs feature enabled.  Currently, we will only be hosting "official" clubs to prevent the overuse of this feature with our small user base.
• Clubs can be found under the forum menu.
• Say hello to the Forums Addict Club!  Promote your forum and find forums that you love!  This is a group for both forum owners and forum users who just want more forums!
• Light mode is now the default theme, dark mode is still available.
• We would also like to introduce the new Uncrowned Community Partners program that is aimed at building bridges and working together with other communities.  Say tuned for more info.

We're excited to announce some changes coming to Uncrowned Gaming that we believe will greatly enhance your user experience. We've been listening to your feedback, and it's clear that our gaming-focused clubs hold a special place in the community.

To better serve you, we're re-integrating these gaming clubs back into our main forum through our new 'Combined Forum List' feature. What this means is that you can now effortlessly navigate a consolidated series forum with topics from various games of each series, or if you prefer, dive into individual games through their sub-forums.

But that's not all; this new feature will also include filtering options. If you're only interested in specific games, you can easily exclude others from your feed. This way, we hope to drive more traffic to these dedicated game forums while still maintaining a platform for detailed and tailored discussions.

We're confident that these changes will contribute to a more engaging and streamlined experience on Uncrowned Gaming. As always, your feedback is invaluable to us, so please let us know what you think of the new updates!

• Clubs feature enabled.  Currently, we will only be hosting "official" clubs to prevent the overuse of this feature with our small user base.
• Clubs can be found under the forum menu and at the bottom of our forums via the link.
• Individual games being listed as clubs has been undone and they will return as forums.
• Light mode is now the default theme, dark mode is still available.
• Forum was revamped into a more general gaming forum.  Too many changes to list!  Check it out here: Uncrowned Gaming Forum
• Gaming partners are coming!  Keep up with our forums for more information as we strive to aide growing content creators.

Infantry - Infantry are prized for their versatility and overall effectiveness in firefights, objectives, and essentially all aspects of combat.  They are generally the core unit on teams and many times the preferred playstyle when going solo in matchmaking due to their lack of dependence on support units.   Not only can most infantry handle any situation thrown at them, but they can also often take control and dominate no matter what is happening around them.  We have always advised learning this playstyle and evolving from it to find your true calling while learning a new game.  Plus, it is great having a great fallback strategy if your specialized role falls apart or does not fit into your current team’s strategy...
