Alpha Is Ending — DarkThrone Beta Begins April 1

General   March 23, 2026

⚔️ DarkThrone Alpha Is Ending — Beta Begins April 1st!

The Alpha phase is wrapping up, and with it comes a full game reset to launch the Beta era. Here's everything you need to know.


🔥 What's Being Reset

Every player will return to a fresh start:

  • Level 1, 0 XP
  • 100 citizens, 0 miners
  • 10,000 gold on hand, 150,000 gold banked
  • 200 turns
  • Fort: 100/100
  • Alignment: Neutral
  • 24h protection

The following will be completely wiped:

  • All trained units, buildings, items, upgrades
  • All proficiency points
  • All mercenaries and daily stock
  • All lifetime stats (kills, gold stolen, spy ops, etc.)
  • All logs (attack, spy, training, recruit, armory)
  • All bank history
  • All saved combat sims
  • All clans, wars, ranks, clan banks, intel, bounties
  • All player messages and notifications

⭐ What You Keep

  • Your player name
  • Race and class
  • Login and account
  • Supporter status and purchase history
  • All earned badges (including Alpha Tester)
  • Friends list
  • Player settings and preferences
  • Discord link

⚙️ What's Changing in Beta

  • Attack and spy range reduced from 10 levels to 5 levels
  • Clan creation and joining now requires Level 1 (down from 10)

🏅 Badges

  • The Alpha Tester badge becomes legacy — no longer obtainable after the reset
  • A new Beta Tester badge will be automatically granted to all players entering Beta

⏳ Before April 1st

We've added 1,000,000,000 gold to every bank and converted all T2/T3 miners back to Workers so you can untrain them.

This is your final chance to:

  • Spend everything
  • Push your stats
  • Finish your wars
  • Go wild

Everything resets on April 1st.


❓ Why the Reset?

Alpha was for testing, breaking things, fixing things, and shaping the game with your feedback. Huge systems were reworked — wars, bot detection, clans, spy ops, forts, proficiencies, and more.

A clean slate ensures a fair, balanced, improved start for everyone in Beta.


🚀 What Beta Is About

Beta focuses on refinement, polish, and continued improvements. The core gameplay stays the same — you're not learning a new game, just starting fresh with a better one.


❤️ Thank You

To everyone who played, tested, reported bugs, and helped shape DarkThrone during Alpha — your Alpha Tester badge is proof you were here from the beginning.

⚔️ See you on April 1st.
