v68.0.1

Hourly Rose, Codes + Rewards

Live Rose and gift-code data now refreshes hourly without rolling back, and linked accounts receive repeated server-side safe reward checks.

  • Lucky Rose now checks LastZ.GG hourly, accepts only the current Central-time game week, and never falls back to a hardcoded older number.
  • Reported-active gift codes now synchronize as an exact verified list instead of merging expired historical codes back into the catalog.
  • Automatic safe rewards are checked throughout the day by the hourly PHP cron without requiring a return visit.
  • Automatic new-code redemption runs hourly from Sunday 8:00 PM through Monday 8:00 PM Central time.
  • Legacy cache and correction data is invalidated automatically while accounts, configuration, storage, uploads, research and saved member progress remain unchanged.
Updated 2026-08-24
v68.0.0

Link UID and Rewards v1.6 are now native parts of the main website, including protected profile sync, State alliances, and forum leadership badges.

  • Added official Link UID authorization to existing website member accounts, with encrypted server-side authorization storage.
  • Imported matching official Commander name, State, alliance abbreviation, HQ, power, and kills as read-only values with immediate and weekly synchronization.
  • Integrated Rewards v1.6 status, safe zero-cost claims, and automatic historical plus Sunday/Monday gift-code processing without Node.js.
  • Automatically creates or reuses State alliances, with one website R5 and no more than eight website R4 positions.
  • Added State, alliance abbreviation, and matching R5/R4 badges beside forum names while preserving research, heroes, equipment, formations, accounts, and existing data.
  • Strengthened protected-directory, cross-origin, source-artifact, provenance, and deployment-license safeguards.
Updated 2026-08-22
v65.4

Artemis Discord Visual Guide

A new screenshot-based Artemis beginner guide is now available in the forum, making it easier for members to connect their account and use Artemis in Discord.

  • Added a complete visual Artemis Discord App beginner guide to the forum using real mobile screenshots from the live app.
  • The guide covers /start, account linking and unlinking, /help, Commander profile and progress cards, research, formation, gift codes, alliances, Artemis AI, /ping, and server admin
  • New members are directed to the existing website Commander onboarding instead of duplicating the onboarding process inside the guide.
  • Added an Artemis Discord Guides forum category with the official beginner guide pinned for easy access.
  • Cleaned obsolete /heroes Discord-command references so the website guide matches the intended Artemis command set.
Updated 2026-08-19
v65.3

Strongest Available Formation Fix

Strongest Available now chooses the five strongest heroes first and treats front/back tags as placement guidance rather than a hard roster gate.

  • Fixed Build Strongest Available so front/back position tags no longer decide which five heroes make the roster.
  • The builder now selects the five strongest eligible Orange/Mythic combat heroes first, using the existing saved strength score, then fills from lower rarity only when fewer than fi
  • After the five strongest heroes are selected, the builder arranges two front and three back positions for the best total row fit instead of replacing a stronger hero with a weaker
  • This specifically prevents Purple Miranda from displacing a stronger owned Orange Katrina solely because Miranda is tagged Front and Katrina is tagged Back.
  • Preserved v65.2 Commander Details detection, Tank / Destroyer Intelligence, Artemis data coverage, Age of Steel naming, canonical T10 status, and all existing Artemis systems.
Updated 2026-08-14
v65.2

Commander Details Detection Fix

The Universal Account Scanner now recognizes the Commander Details popup before generic OCR rules can misclassify Structure Power as Hero or Total Power.

  • Fixed automatic detection for the Last Z Commander Details popup when the global OCR pass reads only the Details header.
  • Commander Details now takes priority over generic Research, Hero, and Vehicle classification for that screenshot layout.
  • Total Power is read from the large power value beside the Commander name, while Structure, Tech, Troop, Hero, and Mod Vehicle Power remain separate breakdown values.
  • Prevented Structure Power from being rendered as Hero Power when the generic Power regex sees the breakdown table.
  • Preserved v65 Tank / Destroyer Intelligence, Artemis data coverage, Age of Steel naming, canonical T10 status, and the Strongest Available lineup fix.
Updated 2026-08-14
v65.1

Commander Details Scanner Fix

Commander Details screenshots now map the large Commander power and each visible power breakdown to the correct fields instead of confusing Structure Power with Total Power.

  • Fixed the Commander Details screenshot reader so Structure Power can no longer overwrite Total Power.
  • Added a dedicated Last Z Commander Details layout reader that takes Total Power from the large power value beside the Commander name.
  • Commander Details scans now map Hero Power, Troop Power, Tech / Research Power, Mod Vehicle Power, and Kills into their correct member-managed fields.
  • The power-breakdown rows are read independently, so Structure Power remains a breakdown value rather than being treated as overall Commander power.
  • Preserved v65 Tank / Destroyer Intelligence, Artemis data coverage, Age of Steel correction, canonical T10 status, and the Strongest Available lineup fix.
Updated 2026-08-14
v65

Commander Data Expansion

Tank / Destroyer Intelligence is now connected to the Commander Profile and Artemis, with data-coverage visibility, corrected Age of Steel naming, canonical T10 status, and a stronger hero-lineup builder.

  • Added Tank / Destroyer Intelligence to the Universal Account Scanner, including Tank Upgrade, Exterior Module, and Tactical Plugin screen detection.
  • Tank scans can now save vehicle name, tank level, tank power, Master Modifier percentage, ATK/DEF and next values, upgrade resources, exterior-module progress, and tactical-plugin
  • Connected Tank Intelligence to Artemis so tank-specific questions and Commander-wide analysis can use Master Modifier, modules, plugins, tank power, and upgrade signals instead of
  • Added a Commander Profile Tank / Destroyer Intelligence panel plus a What Artemis Can See inspector that reports which Commander data sources are available, partial, optional, or m
  • Corrected the research branch name to Age of Steel throughout the active website and Artemis context. Existing progress stored under the incorrect website label is migrated into Ag
  • Canonicalized T10 status so Unit Special Training at 100% means T10 Complete and is no longer presented to Artemis as a second independent progression signal.
  • Updated Build Strongest Available so eligible Orange/Mythic combat heroes are prioritized before Purple heroes, then ranked by tier, saved power, stars, level, role, and formation
  • Added deterministic Artemis Tank Intelligence answers so a saved Master Modifier percentage remains useful even when an external AI model is unavailable.
  • Preserved v64.1 Gift Code Intelligence, v64 Artemis Agent + Memory, Commander Intelligence, multi-screen Hero Intelligence, AI Council routing, and existing account/security system
Updated 2026-08-14
v64.1

Gift Code Intelligence

Gift codes now merge multiple live sources instead of letting one older active list hide newer reported-redeemable codes.

  • Fixed Gift Code Intelligence so one non-empty source can no longer replace newer codes still reported redeemable by another trusted source.
  • Added Z Tools Gift Codes as a third live source alongside Last Z Rewards and Last Z Guides.
  • Gift-code reports are now merged and deduplicated, with the newest-first Z Tools active list leading the display and additional unique active reports appended safely.
  • Removed the expired 325KONGRATULATIONS code from the emergency static fallback list.
  • Preserved the last-successful live cache so a temporary source outage does not erase a previously good code list.
  • Updated the Gift Codes source note so members can see that the displayed list is a merged reported-active view and community sources can disagree when limited codes expire.
  • Preserved v64 Artemis Agent + Memory, Commander Intelligence 2.0, screenshot intelligence, AI Council routing, and all existing member systems.
Updated 2026-08-13
v64

Artemis Agent + Memory

Artemis can now remember Commander strategy, continue prior recommendations, and route optional external tools through permission-controlled Composio sessions.

  • Added persistent Artemis Commander memory for useful Last Z goals, priorities, plans, decisions, and strategy notes without storing unrelated chat noise.
  • Added Artemis recommendation history so Commander analysis can continue from recent strategic advice instead of starting from zero each visit.
  • Added the member-facing Artemis Agent Center where Commanders can view, add, complete, archive, or delete strategy memories and review previous recommendations.
  • Connected persistent memory to the Artemis Context Builder so relevant goals and recent recommendations can be included only when they help the current question.
  • Added Composio per-member session support with an administrator toolkit allowlist. Composio remains optional and Artemis still works without it.
  • Added permission-controlled external action planning: read-only retrieval, approval-required writes, and a permanent block on destructive automatic actions.
  • Added Composio service connection links and an action queue so members can connect an approved toolkit, review planned writes, approve or reject them, and see execution status.
  • Added safe tool-argument planning that refuses to invent missing recipients, repositories, channels, dates, or other required action details.
  • Added an admin-only Artemis Agent Activity dashboard plus memory retention, toolkit allowlist, read-only execution, and action-permission controls inside AI Council settings.
  • Preserved v63 Commander Intelligence 2.0, v62.3 multi-screen Hero Intelligence, the AI Council router/fallback chain, OpenRouter/Groq keys, and all existing profile/security system
Updated 2026-08-12
v63

Commander Intelligence 2.0

The Commander Profile is now a connected command center for Artemis strategy, data confidence, hero intelligence, research priorities, scan freshness, alerts, and growth history.

  • Upgraded the existing Commander Profile into Commander Intelligence 2.0 without removing the editable profile, UID linking, formations, planner progress, account controls, or exist
  • Added a Commander Command Center with readiness, data confidence, calculated main-formation power, and the current Artemis strategy objective at a glance.
  • Added a shared Artemis Strategy Roadmap that surfaces the top saved #1, #2, and #3 objectives with direct links to the relevant website tools.
  • Added Commander data-health alerts for suspicious hero-power outliers, incomplete main-formation equipment coverage, thin research records, and overall data-confidence status.
  • Added rich Hero Intelligence cards powered by the v62.3 multi-screen scanner, including level, power, stars, ATK, DEF, troop capacity, Hall of Honor status, detailed L/P/M equipmen
  • Added Research Intelligence cards that surface Artemis research candidates and saved branch progress directly inside the Commander command center.
  • Added Recent Hero Scans so Commanders can see which hero records were refreshed most recently and keep Artemis working from current data.
  • Added a Commander Growth Timeline using the existing Operations growth snapshots so recent power progression is visible without replacing the current Operations system.
  • Added safe rich-response rendering for Artemis headings, emphasis, lists, inline code, and comparison tables so AI Council answers no longer expose raw Markdown syntax on mobile.
  • Added Commander-data validation warnings to Artemis external-model context and stronger evidence rules that separate current hero strength from estimated next-upgrade return instea
Updated 2026-08-12
v62.3

Multi-Screen Hero Intelligence

Hero Detail, Star Up, and Skill screenshots now merge into one richer Commander hero record for Artemis and the Commander Profile.

  • Expanded the Universal Account Scanner into a multi-screen Hero Intelligence system that merges Hero Detail, Star Up, and Skill screenshots into the same saved hero record.
  • Corrected the Hero Detail equipment mapping: filled diamonds are stored as Promotion Level, while the visible +N value is stored as Mythic Level.
  • Added Star Up screen detection for hero power, hero stars, Hero ATK, Hero DEF, Troop Capacity, next-star projected stats, and Hall of Honor status.
  • Added Skill screen detection for the selected skill name, current/max level, skill type, maximum-level status, and a bounded skill-description record.
  • Hero scans update only fields visible on that screenshot and preserve existing equipment, stars, skills, and other good Commander data from prior scans.
  • Extended Artemis hero context so focused hero analysis can use saved combat stats, Hall of Honor status, scanned skill progression, and detailed equipment progression.
  • Preserved browser-private screenshot processing, review-first conflict protection, v62.2 Hero Detail power validation, and the v62.1 AI Council fallback architecture.
Updated 2026-08-12
v62.2

Hero Detail Screenshot Intelligence

The account scanner now understands the actual Last Z Hero Detail layout, including hero power and per-slot equipment progression, with conflict protection before bad data reaches Artemis.

  • Added a dedicated Last Z Hero Detail screenshot reader instead of relying on generic OCR labels that are not present on the game screen.
  • Hero Detail scans can now detect the hero name, hero level, hero power, and the four visible equipment slots from the fixed Last Z layout.
  • Equipment scans now capture each visible slot separately: Gun, Helmet, Armor, and Boots, including equipment level and promotion level.
  • Added Mythic Level tracking to standard hero equipment. The scanner counts the visible filled mythic diamonds on each equipment card and the Equipment Manager now stores and displa
  • Hero stars remain intentionally separate because they are shown on a different Last Z screen and are not guessed from the Hero Detail screen.
  • High-confidence Hero Detail values can still populate the member-managed Commander data, while large conflicts such as a 54M saved power versus a 5.5M screenshot are stopped for re
  • Added clear screenshot conflict warnings that show both the existing saved value and the newly detected value before the member applies the update.
  • Preserved private browser-only image processing: screenshots and raw OCR text are not uploaded to Artemis or stored on the server.
  • Preserved the v62.1 AI Council routing, model cooldowns, OpenRouter/Groq fallback chain, Commander Intelligence, and Composio-ready foundation.
Updated 2026-08-12
v62.1

Artemis Router Polish

Artemis now routes comparisons more precisely, abandons slow models faster, cools down failing routes, and keeps intelligence answers front and center.

  • Specific strategy topics now outrank generic comparison language, so hero comparisons route to Hero Analysis, research comparisons to Research Analysis, formation comparisons to Fo
  • Nemotron 3 Ultra now uses a 10-second deep-reasoning timeout instead of making Commanders wait close to 30 seconds for an unavailable free route.
  • Added temporary model cooldowns after timeouts, rate limits, provider outages, unavailable models, and reply-budget exhaustion so Artemis does not repeatedly hammer a failing route
  • Groq GPT-OSS reasoning fallbacks now receive a larger response budget and forced low reasoning effort so they are more likely to produce a final user-visible answer.
  • Provider diagnostics now distinguish timeout, rate limiting, authentication, model unavailability, provider outage, request rejection, empty output, and reply-budget exhaustion ins
  • Commander Setup automatically collapses to a compact readiness card at 95% or higher while keeping the full guided setup available on demand.
  • After an intelligence answer, Artemis keeps the successful response in view instead of auto-scrolling the Commander Setup panel over the answer.
  • Preserved the v62 AI Council, Context Builder, OpenRouter/Groq fallback chain, Commander Intelligence, and Composio-ready Tool Router foundation.
Updated 2026-08-12
v62

Artemis AI Council & Model Router

Artemis can now classify tasks, build focused Commander context, choose the best configured model, and fail over automatically while remaining one unified Last Z assistant.

  • Introduced the Artemis AI Council and modular task-aware Model Router while preserving the existing Artemis personality, Commander Intelligence, OpenRouter, and Groq systems.
  • Added task classification for general chat, Commander analysis, heroes, formations, equipment, research, strategy comparison, screenshots/data extraction, Last Z knowledge, and fut
  • Deep reasoning now prefers the configurable NVIDIA Nemotron 3 Ultra free model through OpenRouter, with automatic fallback to the next enabled model/provider when the preferred rou
  • Added separate configurable model profiles for fast chat, deep reasoning, vision/screenshot work, and tool planning, plus an ordered fallback list.
  • Added the Artemis Context Builder so external AI requests receive only task-relevant Commander gameplay data instead of the full profile on every request.
  • Commander identity fields are excluded from external-model context by default; Artemis never sends account passwords, email, UID, IP/session data, API keys, or account-security inf
  • Added server-side routing diagnostics with task classification, selected provider/model, selection reason, context sources, fallback index, response time, token counts, and success
  • Added 24-hour model health reporting and expanded usage/fallback logging without caching personal Commander responses across accounts.
  • Added a Composio-ready Tool Router foundation with encrypted API-key storage, connection testing, read-only / approval-required / automatic permission modes, and a hard never-autom
  • External Composio actions remain intentionally disabled in this foundation release; the next agent phase can add connected services and approvals after v62 is tested stable.
Updated 2026-08-12
v61.1

Meet Artemis: Your Personal Last Z Command AI

Artemis is the intelligent assistant built directly into the Last Z Ultimate Guide. He can use the gameplay information saved to a Commander Profile to help members decide what to work on next, prioritize research, evaluate hero investments, review formations, track equipment progress, guide new members through setup, and answer Last Z questions.

  • Artemis is a futuristic AI command assistant designed specifically for the Last Z Ultimate Guide.
  • He is not just a standard chatbot. Artemis is connected to the website's Commander Profile system, allowing him to use saved gameplay information such as HQ level, season, heroes,
  • Members can ask Artemis questions such as:
  • What should I work on next?
  • Which research should I focus on?
  • What hero should I upgrade next?
  • How is my formation?
  • What equipment should I improve?
  • Artemis can identify missing gameplay information, rank priorities, explain why an objective is important, and direct the Commander to the correct tool on the website.
  • For new members, Artemis also acts as a guided onboarding assistant. He can introduce himself after signup, show the member where to begin, guide them through building their Comman
Updated 2026-08-12
v61

Artemis Strategy Engine

Artemis now unifies onboarding with deeper account strategy for heroes, formations, equipment, and research.

  • Unified Artemis onboarding and strategy so the setup panel and “What should I work on next?” no longer point the commander in different directions.
  • Screenshot scanning is now an optional refresh tool rather than a required setup step, so manually completed profiles can reach full calibration.
  • Equipment setup is marked complete only when every saved main-formation hero has an equipment record; partial coverage now shows a percentage instead of a misleading Done state.
  • Added the Artemis Strategy Engine: research priorities now score HQ stage, formation faction/troop path, foundational gaps, late-game value, and recorded completion instead of simp
  • Added a strategy catalog from the site hero database so hero-upgrade advice can consider tier, role, investment priority, faction, and recorded development gaps in the commander’s
  • Formation analysis now checks dominant faction, support-only heroes, front/back role alignment, and the saved formation score before ranking resource investments.
  • When a small calibration gap remains, Artemis can still show provisional #2/#3 strategy priorities underneath the required #1 data fix instead of withholding every recommendation.
  • Reduced duplicate chat text on the website: the short summary introduces the plan and the visual #1/#2/#3 cards carry the detailed reasons.
  • The Commander Intelligence panel now changes from setup mode to a live Next Objective card after calibration, using the same strategy plan as Artemis chat.
  • Preserved the working PHP 8.2 authentication, database connection, encrypted OpenRouter/Groq key storage, provider tests, and fallback routing from the stable v59.1.3/v60 branch.
Updated 2026-08-12
v60

Artemis Intelligence

Artemis now turns saved Commander Profile data into direct, ranked next objectives instead of generic follow-up questions.

  • Artemis now has a deterministic profile-intelligence engine for “What should I work on next?” instead of handing the question to an external model and hoping for a useful priority.
  • The signed-in commander receives one clear #1 objective plus #2 and #3 when the saved data supports them, with direct links to the exact website tools needed for each step.
  • Artemis ranks missing core profile data first when the account is not calibrated, then evaluates the saved main formation, equipment readiness, research progress, formation score,
  • Research-priority questions now use the member’s recorded branch percentages and the site’s published research-path information instead of generic AI advice.
  • Hero-priority questions can compare the recorded stats of heroes in the saved main formation and identify the largest recorded stat gap while clearly warning when role/build contex
  • Profile-intelligence answers work even if OpenRouter and Groq are temporarily unavailable; external AI remains available for broader Last Z questions and explanations.
  • Cleaned provider output so literal newline artifacts and the stray leading “n” seen in some model replies no longer appear in the Artemis chat.
  • Added visual #1/#2/#3 objective cards in Artemis chat and bumped Artemis assets to v60 so browsers load the intelligence update immediately.
  • The stable v59.1.3 login, PHP 8.2 database path, encrypted API-key storage, OpenRouter primary connection, and Groq fallback connection remain unchanged.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.1.3

Artemis Provider Response Fix

OpenRouter and Groq can now complete their connection tests correctly with reasoning-capable models.

  • Fixed OpenRouter and Groq tests reporting an empty reply after the API key had actually been saved.
  • Provider test requests now allow enough completion budget for modern reasoning models to produce final text.
  • Groq GPT-OSS requests use low reasoning effort and keep reasoning out of the returned Artemis reply.
  • OpenRouter free-router tests keep reasoning light so randomly selected reasoning models do not consume the whole test response.
  • Artemis now distinguishes a real provider connection from a response that contains no final text.
  • No login, database connection, or API-key persistence logic was changed in this focused hotfix.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.1.2

Artemis Save & Test Fix

Provider setup is now one tap: save the entered API key and immediately test the stored provider.

  • Fixed the Artemis provider controls on mobile so typing a key and tapping the provider button no longer tests an empty previously-saved value.
  • OpenRouter and Groq now each have a Save & Test button that stores the entered key first and immediately tests that same provider.
  • Provider test results now distinguish between a key that failed to store and a key that stored successfully but failed the external connection test.
  • The existing encrypted database, site-settings, and protected-file storage fallbacks remain unchanged.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.1.1

Artemis Key Storage Hotfix

Artemis API keys now have an independent encrypted secure-file fallback for reliable persistence on shared hosting.

  • Artemis provider keys now have a third encrypted persistence path under the protected server storage directory.
  • The secure-file fallback is independent of the Artemis secrets table, preventing shared-hosting database quirks from making a saved key disappear.
  • OpenRouter and Groq keys are verified immediately after save and the admin screen shows which secure storage path is active.
  • This hotfix is based directly on the stable v59.1 code and does not change login, database connection, or public-site startup behavior.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.5

Login Core Recovery

A focused authentication repair makes the credential-to-session handoff independent from optional site systems and shared-hosting timing.

  • Rebuilt the successful sign-in request around the core users table and PHP session only.
  • Authenticated sessions are explicitly committed before redirecting, preventing shared-hosting session races.
  • The login form now includes its CSRF token directly instead of depending on JavaScript to inject it before submission.
  • Optional Artemis, audit, session-history, and password-reset metadata no longer run inside the successful login request.
  • Any remaining host-specific login exception is contained on the sign-in page with a safe stage code instead of Page Could Not Load.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.4

Signed-In Bootstrap Recovery

A focused reliability hotfix isolates login and normal page loading from optional database/security subsystems on shared hosting.

  • Removed optional security-schema work from the critical signed-in page bootstrap.
  • Login throttling and audit-history failures can no longer replace a valid sign-in with Page Could Not Load.
  • Core authentication now depends only on the users table; auxiliary session/audit features fail independently.
  • Page enhancements such as SEO, translation, member-access UI, release tools, and Artemis are isolated so one enhancement cannot take down the page.
  • Added a last-resort root homepage fail-safe so the command center remains reachable even if an optional subsystem throws.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.3

Signed-In Session Recovery

A login-path hotfix keeps valid member authentication working even when optional shared-hosting database helpers have a temporary fault.

  • Fixed the signed-in login path falling into Page Could Not Load after valid credentials.
  • Successful authentication now completes even if optional session-history, audit-log, or member-metadata tables temporarily fail.
  • Core member identity is now separated from optional security-history lookups so an authenticated account is not mistaken for a guest.
  • New-account registration received the same protection so Artemis onboarding can start even if an auxiliary table is temporarily unavailable.
  • The v59.1 Artemis API-key persistence fix and v59.2 public-homepage availability hardening remain included.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59.1

Artemis API Key Persistence Fix

A focused hotfix makes OpenRouter and Groq key storage resilient and verifiable on shared hosting.

  • Fixed Artemis API keys failing to remain configured after saving on some shared-hosting environments.
  • API keys are now encrypted and written to a redundant site-settings fallback in addition to the dedicated secrets table.
  • Every newly saved provider key is immediately read back and verified before Artemis reports success.
  • Admin now clearly shows Stored securely with a masked key when persistence succeeds, instead of relying on the blank password field.
  • Provider-save failures now produce a visible admin error instead of silently appearing to save.
Updated 2026-08-12
v59

Artemis Takes the Forum

Artemis now has an official forum presence and automatically keeps members informed about the latest Last Z Ultimate Guide releases.

  • Artemis now has an official forum identity: Artemis • System Assistant.
  • Added the Artemis Updates forum channel for official site news and system messages.
  • Artemis publishes a one-time introduction post explaining who he is and how he helps members.
  • Recent v57, v58, and v59 website updates are automatically published as Artemis forum posts.
  • Future published release announcements can automatically become Artemis forum update posts without creating duplicates.
  • The newest Artemis release report stays pinned beside his introduction so members can quickly see the latest site changes.
Updated 2026-08-11
v58

Artemis Awakens

Artemis has evolved into an animated futuristic guide robot with persistent first-login onboarding and profile-aware next-step coaching.

  • Artemis now appears as a larger futuristic hovering robot with white/gunmetal armor, cyan and violet lighting, animated eyes, hover rings, particles, and subtle movement inspired b
  • New members still activate Artemis immediately after registration, but onboarding is now a true guided flow with a clear Start Here card and the exact next unfinished setup step.
  • Guided setup continues across page changes and can resume on later visits from saved profile progress instead of restarting from the beginning.
  • Members can Continue, Skip for now, or choose Don’t show tutorial again without disabling Artemis itself. Guided setup can be restarted from the Artemis panel at any time.
  • Artemis now gives a deterministic built-in next-step answer from the member’s saved profile even when OpenRouter or Groq is unavailable.
  • The chat panel docks beside Artemis on desktop to better match the approved assistant concept while keeping lower-right utility controls clear.
  • Fresh v58 Artemis assets are forced so browsers load the new robot and onboarding behavior immediately.
Updated 2026-08-11
v57

Meet Artemis

Artemis has arrived as your Last Z specialist, and this release also repairs the floating controls and crowded desktop navigation.

  • Meet Artemis, the new Last Z-only assistant built into the Ultimate Guide. Artemis can help members navigate tools, finish setup, and answer Last Z questions.
  • Moved Artemis into a dedicated upper-right position so the robot no longer covers Support the Network or the theme selector.
  • Made the Artemis chat panel resize to the available desktop height instead of being pushed off the top of shorter screens.
  • Fixed the desktop header so Dashboard and the other navigation links switch to the compact menu before they can overlap the Last Z Ultimate Guide brand.
  • Forced fresh Artemis and launch assets so browsers do not keep displaying older cached positioning or release-popup code.
  • Commander and gameplay stats remain member-managed. Screenshot imports can fill values, and members can correct them without administrator approval.
Updated 2026-08-11
v55

Member-Managed Stats

Screenshot imports and Commander stats are now controlled by the member, with no administrator approval step.

  • Retired administrator approval for Commander Profile and gameplay statistics. Members now control their own current values.
  • Universal Account Scanner selections now write directly to the member-managed profile after the player reviews or edits the detected values.
  • Commander name, server, alliance, HQ, faction, total power, hero power, troop power, research power, vehicle power, kills, and highest troop tier can be corrected by the member at
  • Added a migration-safe member_stats record. Existing legacy verified values are copied forward once without dropping legacy tables or losing history.
  • Artemis, Discord-safe profile helpers, alliance recruitment, and Growth Timeline now read the member-managed values instead of an administrator-verified snapshot.
  • Removed the active Commander/stat review queues from the member and administrator experience. Forum/community moderation and account-security verification remain unchanged.
  • Screenshot OCR remains review-first: players can correct a bad read before Apply, and can edit the saved value later from Commander Profile.
Updated 2026-08-11
v54

Artemis Genesis

Artemis is now the Last Z Ultimate Guide assistant, with guided member setup, secure AI-provider controls, universal screenshot-import groundwork, and shared website/Discord context.

  • Introduced Artemis, a Last Z-only assistant with a floating robot launcher and mobile-safe chat panel.
  • New accounts activate Artemis automatically so it can guide members through profile, heroes, formation, equipment, research, alliance, and screenshot setup.
  • Added secure Admin → Artemis controls for OpenRouter and Groq keys, primary/fallback models, usage limits, budget controls, and an external-AI provider kill switch.
  • API keys are encrypted server-side and never exposed to browser JavaScript or member pages.
  • Added shared Artemis member-context helpers so the separate Discord bot can use the same approved Last Z knowledge and privacy rules later.
  • Upgraded Screenshot Import into a Universal Account Scanner with broader screen detection, confidence indicators, multi-image merging, and account-wide routing.
  • Artemis can still answer common Last Z guide/navigation questions using built-in website knowledge when no AI provider is configured.
  • Preserved Discord profile privacy, alliance/recruitment security, v52 Research OCR improvements, and v53 onboarding deep links.
Updated 2026-08-11
v53

Member Setup Navigation Hotfix

New-member setup now sends players directly to the correct private planner controls, including Hero Stats & Ownership.

  • Fixed the new-member “Mark owned heroes” step so it opens Formation Lab directly at Hero Stats & Ownership instead of the public hero roster.
  • Added direct onboarding links for HQ Planner, Formation Lab, and Research Command so setup steps land on the tool members actually need.
  • Added safe tool deep-link handling through the existing home page without creating new authentication or account flows.
  • Preserved the v52 private multi-screenshot Research reader and all existing account, Discord-readiness, alliance, recruitment, and security features.
Updated 2026-08-10
v52

Research Screenshot Reader Hotfix

The Screenshot Importer now reads Last Z Techs screens much more reliably, including MAX cards, percentage progress, and overlapping screenshots.

  • Fixed the Techs / Research screenshot reader so it maps the visible three-column research grid instead of relying only on raw OCR text.
  • MAX research cards are now imported as 100% complete.
  • Improved percentage recognition for Field Research, Army Building, Fully Armed Alliance, Age of Steel, and other progress cards.
  • Added common OCR-name correction for shortened or distorted research labels.
  • Members can now import up to four overlapping research screenshots in one batch and review the merged results before applying them.
  • Screenshots continue to stay in the browser and are not uploaded or stored in account sync.
Updated 2026-08-10
v51

Discord Website Readiness & Recruitment Upgrade

Website-side Discord privacy, profile-card preferences, avatars, safer alliance recruiting, and ownership protections are ready for the separate Discord app.

  • Added member Discord profile-card privacy and style controls for Apex, Tactical, Neon, and Intel.
  • Added secure website profile avatars with avatar sharing OFF by default.
  • Added administrator Discord-card policy controls and a protected placeholder avatar.
  • Added an internal Discord-safe member profile helper that applies member privacy and admin restrictions to live database values.
  • Added alliance-specific custom application questions and private recruiter/admin answers.
  • Strengthened R5 ownership transfer and alliance movement transactions.
Updated 2026-08-09
v50

Alliance Recruitment & Discord Foundation
