We’re excited to announce the release of version 1.1.53, packed with powerful changes, a brand new mini-game, and updated systems designed to improve gameplay, rewards, and access to exclusive features. Here’s everything you need to know:
💎 New Game Mode: Gem Sweeper
Introducing Gem Sweeper, an addictive new game now available right inside the Store!
In this game mode, you’ll collect gems by sweeping through layers of dirt, avoiding traps, and uncovering rare gem clusters. Use your strategy and a little luck to strike it rich!
- Earn points that go directly toward your county, state, and grand total earnings.
- Collect gems even faster using your inventory tools from the Store.
- Play daily to increase your leaderboard ranking and contribution to your county.
🛍️ Find the Gem Sweeper section in the Store to get started!
🔁 Daily Pool Reset Minimum Set to 100 Gems
To improve fairness and reward distribution, the daily pool for each county now resets to a minimum of 100 gems.
This ensures:
- Every county has a meaningful starting pool, even in low-activity areas.
- Active users always have rewards to work toward, regardless of traffic.
Counties will continue to grow their pool throughout the day via gem conversions, game participation, and house purchases.
🏠 Updated House Purchase Eligibility (Google Play – $0.99)
We’ve made ownership requirements more accessible for players who want to purchase a house using real currency.
💡 New Requirement:
- If your ownership percentage in a county is less than 10%, you can now **buy a house using Google Play for just
$0.99.
This opens the door for new users and smaller players to compete and grow their influence.
No need to grind before supporting your team or collecting your first house!
🔓 Remember: This option is only available if you’re not the leader and have under 10% ownership in the county.
🎯 Daily Pool Reward Threshold Lowered
We’ve lowered the minimum ownership requirement to receive a share of the county daily pool:
✅ Old Requirement: 1%
🔥 New Requirement: 0.1%
This means more users will now qualify for daily gem rewards, even with a small number of houses in a county.
As long as your ownership percentage is above 0.1%, you will:
- Receive your share of the pool automatically when logging in the next day.
- See a pop-up with your earnings, weight, and contribution percent.
This change rewards early participation, not just domination.
🛒 New Store Button: Official Merch Shop
We’ve added a new button in the Store that takes you directly to our official merchandise site:
🌐 https://simulearn.shop
You can now browse and purchase:
- T-shirts featuring your faction colors
- Limited edition map prints
- Collectible designs based on in-game items
Whether you’re a leader or a loyal contributor, show off your Battle for Borders pride in real life!
