    hi people. When are thieves getting back 'Who goes there' ? They're really vulnerable without it, almost useless.

    There was a bug being exploited by using the skill so it has been replaced temporarily with the berserk skill. Once the bug is fixed the thief skill will return automatically.

    But honestly I love berserk on the Theives. They are insanely fast with it.

    Unfortunately we became aware of the issue too late for it to be fixed in the upcoming update, but it will hopefully be fixed in the update after that.

    Does this mean any other bugs similar in nature that are reported will also be too late to fix?

    There's a few issues with various special abilities and donated pirates that were caused by the same bug, so they should hopefully all be fixed at the same time.

    I *really* miss the 'who goes there' ability. Guess I'll have to revert to the all-too-popular brutes-n-gunners theme.

    Update after next... That's a looonnng wait! Disappointed... but at least it's another excuse to not play the game so much, my other excuse being that all of my defences have now been maxed except for the walls. Getting quite bored with the game... zzz zzz

    They're not 'glitches' just 'Undocumented features' and there is at least one guaranteed in the bottom of every update carton. ;)

    I figured it would have been less of a burden on the Thieves to just get rid of their "Light Touch" ability as a temporary fix instead of removing "Who Goes There" entirely.

    Alas, it would have been if the issue was with Light Touch - we thought it was originally, but you didn't actually need it to have super thieves, just 'Who Goes There'.

    I've taken thieves out of my plunder strategy. I plunder strong bases. Any base with strong splash weapons wipes out the thieves in just 2 seconds even while other high-lvl units are battling with those same weapons.

    The update *after* the next update!!!!!!! ggrrrrrr....

    It wasn't fixed - the issue that lead to Who Goes There having to be removed will be fixed in the next update. The power should never have been reset back for this update. Sorry for the confusion and inconvenience, the thieves will be restored to their stealthy selves soon!
