LEVEL 75
Yes, the rumours are true! The maximum level will be increased from level 50 to level 75 soon!
A big feature package is part of the level cap raise. Game Design presented the first details during gamescom 2015.
During the past weeks some features have already been introduced on the international test server.
Providing a brief summary, this Sneak Peek lists all new features that will be implemented together with player level 75.
Some facts about the level cap raise:

Existing Star Coins won't be removed

Some facts about the Archipelago:
More building space

This will provide more storage, more population and will boost the island's production to a higher level.
Some details about level 6:
Grout is necessary for upgrading a building
Grout can be obtained by playing high level adventures (via rewards), not only during events
All buildings can be upgraded to level 6, e.g.: Warehouses, Bookbinder, Residences, production buildings etc.
MILITARY EXTENSIONS
Along with the new adventures and bandits, new player units and corresponding production chains will be added.
http://static.cdn.ubi.com/0034/int/forum/pictures/2015_08_lcr/2015_08_military_prod_chains.jpg
A new production chain
E.g.: Homestead (Wool) -> Weaver (Cloth) -> Saddle Maker (Saddle Cloth) -> Elite Stables (Battle horse) -> New Units
New weapons
New more powerful units, i.e.: Better Riders, Cannoneers and Musketeers
The new units cannot be used for old adventures because they are too powerful
The new game version is available on tsotesting.com. Check out the test server news (http://www.tsotesting.com/en/homepage) for more detailed information.
