Classical, Medieval, Gunpowder, Enlightenment, Industrial, and Global Ages will all begin with a 60% Discount to upgrades and Age Up resource requirements on 7/2. The 60% Discount will then become a 50% Discount starting 8/6, this will then become a 40% Discount starting 9/17 until the end of Summer for the Ages on 10/15.

Atomic, Cold War, Space, Digital, Information, and Drone Age will all begin on their respective dates with a 50% Discount on upgrades and Age Up resource requirements. Changing to 40% and then 30% in the final leg of SftA. This will be the first time Drone Age will be included in these discounts! (Additional Upgrade Levels 11.10 and beyond will not be included in this year’s SftA)

Any additional levels we added into 11.10 and any that may be added beyond that during this year's SftA period will not see a discount. Info to drone will be instant yes.
Nope, upgrade was not instant , discounted but not instant had to use 17 days speed up yesterday…
 
Can you elaborate when (exact dates) the Info and Drone age discounts will be reduced to 40% and finally 30%, after the initial 50% discount ? Thread says "in the final stages of SftA but it's not clear when this is...

Thanks.
 
Was this prior to 1:30pm EST?

Please submit a ticket to our CS team so they can assist you.
@Harlems369th had the same issue. Upgraded to drone age at a discount during SftA but wasn’t instant so used 17 days of speed up’s. wrote a note on this using the in-game Customer Service. Anything else you suggest to do? Are they able to refund the speed up’s if this was an error?

Same dates as Global and below. 8/6 will drop to 40%, and then 9/17 for the 30%

How long will the instant pass last?
Will the summer of ages end in October?
@Harlems369th
 
Also please consider making a season of Triumph entirely dependant on World War attacks, defends, etc. rather than multiplayer.
seems hard to balance. Top D miss attacks because they scout. Top O attack more difficult bases than lower tiers. Also best alliances face very difficult bases... At least in Mp you can still drop medals if you really want. A top alliance will not drop rank - and would be too long.
