Not with Stronghold 24, no.
There’s no indication at the moment that those would unlock with Stronghold 25 either.

Thank you @zephyr1
Keep up the good work of informing us about the latest Beta updates

It’s good to hear that SH 24 is in beta.
That gives me hope that it will be available soon.
Then I can prepare for the Hero Academy, which will hopefully be released soon.

Any idea when we can expect SH24? Idk how long I can feasibly keep my iron stores maxed in preparation lol
Really it should have been built last November or December. Any dev want to way in on delivering a product late while moving forward in other aspects of the game then sticking it to people with an almost 2 week build time? I’d love to hear a justification.
It’s likely to be in the next release.
But I’m not sure when that will be…my guess is late this month or early next month is more likely than this week, but we’ll see what happens when everyone is back in the office tomorrow.

Beta has now closed.
I’ll update Beta Beat again when Beta reopens. I’m not sure yet what will be up next for testing.

Tavern of Legends has also received minor updates, which I’ve noted here 🧪 Early Information on Tavern of Legends Event [Part of The Beta Beat v29] - #320 by zephyr1.
Season 3 has also had the next round of Provinces added for testing, from Niflheim.

So, about Monday’s costume chamber?
The costumes are still in beta. It takes days for an update to roll out. So, no, the new costumes won’t be available Monday.

I’m glad it looks like they won’t come out until at least May so I won’t have to be tempted to do any pulls. I’m trying to hold out for a shot at Clarissa

Early Information on Tavern of Legends Event [Part of The Beta Beat v29]
@zephyr1 Sorry if this has been asked before but couldn’t find it in a search. Do we have an idea whether Advanced House Lv10’s will be required for the Hero Academy. Looking at things now, I rather stock my iron in heavy mats than push forward with AHs. Any suggestions are appreciated, many thanks (to clarify I haven’t done anything in terms of AH levels)
Since Hero Academy was only briefly in Beta accidentally, and wasn’t fully developed at the time, we can’t really be confident that the version we saw was at all informative about what the actual Hero Academy will be like.
All I can tell you is that Advanced House 10 wasn’t required for that version of Hero Academy, and that I wouldn’t worry too much about it, considering you’ll likely have months of other upgrades to do anyway.
I’ll certainly be posting information on Hero Academy when it comes to Beta.
It’s currently expected to enter Beta late this month or in May.

You can already see in the game from which buildings the Hero Academy can be converted.
Forge, farm or mine I don’t think it changed.

No, it didn’t change in the brief accidental Beta, and probably won’t in the final version either — but that wasn’t the question asked above, it was whether an Advanced House was necessary to have enough Recruit storage to make use of Hero Academy.
Okay I got it wrong.
My english is still not better.
But I have not think about it so far that the Hero Akademy could be an extended training center.
Also not about the possible need for recruits.
For me it doesn’t really matter. I have plenty of recruits in the TC and there is room for 352 recruits.

Is there a semi-official or official release schedule?
It seems that major releases like V29 come about once a month, but I haven’t actually looked at logs and compared.
I do know that it takes a ~week to roll out a release and do a forced update.
I also can see things needed soon … Clarissa before May 1 … new costumes before the costume portal opens … all sorts of stuff for season 3.
