**Backend team**\
For the backend team we worked on:\
— the storage vault, adding a way for user to store some mkc in a safe in their village\
— db improvements, adding indexes to improve response time\
— finishing the truce shield\
— finishing the automated villages\
— perfecting the async messaging/queuing inside the backend to handle a few tasks like battles\
— building queues

**Analytics**\
— Feature is almost live, better tracking of the users and their actions leads to better involvement !\
— Tracking is now possible for both internal and external events (game + twitter + sites, …)\
— Next week : first version of the public tracking dashboard

**3D team**\
Reworked the cropland, the previous model was hard to differentiate from the environment
