New Maps, Improved Search & More

Capital Kings gets upgraded maps, improved business search and onboarding, Cash Rush prize previews, UI improvements, and a collection of bug fixes.

A Better Way to Explore Your Empire

The latest Capital Kings update focuses on making the world easier to explore, improving the experience for new players, and polishing several areas of the game.

One of the biggest changes is a major upgrade to the maps used throughout Capital Kings.

New High-Quality Vector Maps

The Check-in, Business Search, and Business Sharing maps have been upgraded to new high-quality vector maps designed specifically to match the visual style of Capital Kings.

The new maps are sharper, cleaner, and more detailed, while still fitting naturally into the game's interface.

You can also now tap the map on the Check-in screen to open it in a full-screen view, making it much easier to explore the surrounding area.

Business Search Is More Powerful

Finding the right businesses is now much easier.

The Business Search screen now includes Business Category filters, allowing you to narrow down nearby businesses based on what you're looking for.

The Search Map has also been improved and now:

  • Displays nearby businesses directly on the map

  • Includes Business Category filtering

  • Includes a button to quickly return to your current location

These changes make it much easier to explore an area and discover your next acquisition.

Improved Onboarding

We've made several improvements to the onboarding experience to make the first few minutes of Capital Kings clearer and easier to understand.

New players should now have a smoother introduction to finding businesses, building their first empire, and understanding how the game works.

Cash Rush Prize Preview

Cash Rush now shows the available prizes before you complete the event.

You'll be able to see what's at stake before jumping in and competing for the top spot.

UI Improvements

We've also made a number of smaller interface improvements throughout the game.

World Dominance has been updated to make it clearer that the displayed Businesses, VIPs, and Empire Value rankings relate specifically to the currently selected country.

The Skills screen now has clearer wording and labels, along with a new sticky Skill Points header so you can always see how many points you have available while scrolling.

The Check-in sticky header has also been adjusted so it appears at a more natural position while scrolling.

We've also improved safe-area handling on Android devices with different screen shapes, notches, and punch-hole cameras.

Bug Fixes

This update also includes a number of fixes and smaller improvements:

  • Fixed incorrect player names and profile photos appearing in some menus

  • Fixed Global leaderboard filter options displaying incorrectly

  • Fixed incorrect remaining Check-in counts

  • Sold business income claims now correctly display as claimed

  • Fixed bundle items bunching together when launching the game

  • Bundle prices now update correctly when IAP pricing finishes loading late

  • Removed the unwanted Search icon from the Game Rules and FAQ screens

We're continuing to improve Capital Kings with each update, with a focus on making the game easier to use, more polished, and more enjoyable as your empire grows.
