Updates for Build a Medieval Army

The Updates Hub is where we track what to re-verify after ZedCo ships changes to Build a Medieval Army (Medieval War Tycoon). Even when a patch note is short, it can quietly change code validity, prestige pacing, troop feel, or gamepass value. Use this hub as a checklist, then jump into deep pages.

Pages under updates

• July 2026 Codes & Meta Refresh — mid-2026 codes table, Giant ZED / Catapult notes, and recheck checklist.
• August 2026 Codes Check — August re-test of core codes plus community extras.
• September 2026 Codes Check — September confirmation of zero active codes, R15 support, patrol mechanics, and Old Castle return.
• October 2026 Codes Check — Halloween season code verification, Old Castle rotation, and pre-winter strategic checklist.
• November 2026 Codes Check — post-Halloween wrap-up, likely expired event codes, and pre-winter reset strategy.
• Review — opinionated verdict on whether the tycoon loop is worth your time right now.

Additional dated notes appear as child pages when major waves drop.

Post-update checklist

Whenever the experience updates, run through:

1. Codes — Re-test the Codes Hub list. Holiday strings like newbig2xmascash or pres1234 often die first. Confirm redeem still lives under gear → Codes → Enter (How to Redeem Codes).
2. Economy loop — Do flag returns still pay as expected? Does hill still grant +20% income? Skim How to Capture Flags and Early Game Income.
3. Defense — Did new units or balance make turtle strategies stronger? Revisit How to Defend Your Base.
4. Prestige — Did exclusive requirements or pacing change? Read How to Prestige and re-run the Income Prestige Planner.
5. Tiers — Refresh Troops Tier List and Gamepasses Tier List assumptions after combat patches.
6. Units pages — Sync Units Hub, roster, and Prestige Units.
7. Patrol system — Test new patrol and middle flag targeting mechanics from August 2026 (Patrol & Middle Flag Guide).
8. Scripts — Assume old hubs broke; ban risk remains (Scripts Hub).

Stable facts that rarely change (still verify)

These are core identity facts for this wiki and should stay consistent unless ZedCo clearly changes them:

• Place identity: Medieval War Tycoon / Build a Medieval Army by ZedCo
• Gameplay pillars: recruit, steal flags for cash, defend, hilltop income bonus, prestige exclusives
• August 2026 new mechanics: patrol commands, middle flag targeting, R15 support, Old Castle unlock
• Premium +10% cash
• Free Praetorian for joining the ZedCo group
• Known gamepass set including Double Income, Double XP, Heavy Soldier, Assassin Soldier, Heal Spell, Berzerker Giant, Sky Fort, Archer Squad (+4), Troop BUFF, Roman Legion, Giant ZED, Cloned Troops, Spartan Soldier, Catapult Troop

If an update breaks one of these pillars, prioritize rewriting How to Play first.

How we write update coverage

We prefer actionable “what to do next” over changelog cosplay. A useful update note tells you whether to rush codes, delay prestige, or rebuild defense. For a broader quality verdict after living with the patch for a bit, read the Review.

Between patches: what to watch in lobby

• Are more players camping hill exclusively?
• Did the new patrol system change army compositions?
• Are community code lists flooding with unverified strings again?
• Are script users more obvious (and reports higher)?
• Has R15 compatibility affected any gameplay aspects?

Answer with guides and tiers, not panic spends.
