OPTIMISATIONS:

Ruling House:

In order to ensure that houses reap rewards for contributing to conquests, we’ve changed the authority of Ruling Houses on the battlefield. During fief battles, the Ruling House may not kick any member who fulfills any one of the following conditions:

  • The player has a contribution of 20%, and at least 10 players of their house are present on the battlefield.
  • The player has a contribution of at least 50%.

We’ll be keeping an eye on how things progress and will continue to evaluate whether further adjustments will be needed to ensure that players who contribute gain their just rewards.

In order to further promote participation in battles, we've increased the maximum number of Nobles in Houses to 20

War Declaration:

Reduced the amount of Prestige required for Free Houses to declare war against Conqueror's City and the 4 Gates. The requirement is now in line with war declarations on normal cities of the same level.

After these new changes, as long as you do your utmost in Alliance Quests, you will be able to attain high scores and get great rewards even without defeating hordes of enemies.

  • Updated the Martial Title system, if a player leaves the Cohort and is no longer part of the Legion, their title will be removed and new titles will be distributed to other players on the when weekly distribution happens on Sundays.

WARLORD BALANCING AND OPTIMISATION:

Dual Blades:

We identified that the “Marked for Death” skill affected both the caster and the target in a negative way:

  • Targets would feel as if the skill could control them for long periods of time.
  • Casters were deprived of the ability to move or use other skills while the skill was active, this could be risky for Dual Blades with low defence.

Due to the above issues we decided to make the following changes:

  • Duration reduced by ⅓, which leads to a reduction in attack time.
  • Dual Blades can now gain control of themselves earlier once casting the skill, making it easier to use other skills.
  • Please note: Total Damage dealt remains the same.

Optimized the cooldown for “The Dance of Death” by fixing a bug that prevented the time from being correctly shown when the skill was tapped repeatedly. The timer of the skill now starts when the skill is cast, we’ve also made a little change to the skill by slightly reducing its cooldown for II and III.

  • I: Increased cooldown from 60s to 65s
  • II: Increased cooldown from 55s to 58s
  • III: Increased cooldown from 45s to 46s

Nodachi:

We identified that Nodachi wasn’t that great at finishing off units in battle. With melee units gained more Armour, the Nodachi could not inflict damage as high as expected, due to this we made the following change:

  • The Life Drain buff obtained when hitting an enemy with the following skills (Bloodthirsty, Samurai’s March, Fearless & Steadfast), now also adds 30 points of Slashing Armour Penetration and Piercing Armour Penetration

Glaive:

Optimised the way Ultimate attacks are controlled when mounted. When holding down the right mouse button, Glaive gets ready to strike, when the button is released, he strikes. Effects of the right-click control remains the same.

Musket:

Added a cast animation when Musket uses the "Fine Gunpowder" skill, it no longer casts the skill immediately.

Short Bow:

We identified that the performance of Short Bow was not satisfying as it was unable to hurt units which had tough armour, due to this we made the following adjustment:

  • Shooting skills consume a layer of buff obtained by rolling, when consumed it grants 15% extra Armour Piercing.

Bow:

We identified that arrows from the Bow were able to stun enemies when they were at long range. To make this skill less powerful, we have changed the attack effects for Bow.

  • When the distance exceeds 60m, arrows can no longer stun targets.

Warlord Bug Fixes:

Maul:

  • Fixed a bug that caused targets to take fall damage when thrown from a position lower than the position they were caught by the Strike and Grapple skill used by the Maul.
  • Fixed a bug where the Maul consumes no Stamina when sprinting with a target caught with Strike and Grapple. Maul now loses Stamina when he sprints with an enemy. When Stamina drops to 0, he will drop the enemy.
  • Fixed a bug when unlocking challenge stages of the Maul, the skills would not unlock correctly.

Nodachi:

  • Fixed a bug that caused Nodachi to restore HP when they inflicted damage with Trebuchets and Siege Engines.

Spear:

  • Fixed a bug where the hit box of the Spear attack when jumping from horseback was applied earlier than the real animation.

Shortsword and Shield:

  • Fixed a bug where the skill “Kick III” wouldn’t knock down enemies correctly.
  • Fixed a bug where you would not gain acceleration when hitting an enemy with the skill “Throw Shield”.

Short Bow:

  • Fixed a bug where the skills “Throw Bola” and “Parting Shot” would consume Stamina upon use.

Dual Blade:

  • Fixed a bug which caused the “Marked for Death” skill to be interrupted.

UNIT BALANCING AND OPTIMISATION:

Vanguard Archers:

Compared to other archers, the Vanguard Archer was not a viable pick as it should be since its damage output was lower than archers of the same rank. Due to this, we made the following changes:

  • Increased damage, armour penetration, rate of fire and accuracy by 7%.

Men-at-Arms:

Compared to 3-star Shortsword and Shield units, this tier 4 unit was not a viable pick since it cannot take or deal high damage, therefore we have decided to make the following changes:

  • Skill: Decreased cooldown of Recover from 60s to 50s.
  • Increased damage and defence by 10%.
  • Slightly increased its desire to attack enemies.

Yeomen:

Yeomen were easy to take down as it was quite vulnerable and it didn’t deal damage as high as we had hoped for, therefore we made the following changes:

  • Increased unit size from 16 to 18.
  • Increased damage and defence by 15%.

The rewards for completing the Challenges has been changed from 20 Pavise Crossbowmen Signaculum to 5 Pavise Crossbowmen Medals, 22 Pavise Crossbowmen Kits and 1 Expansion Permit. If you have already claimed the Pavise Crossbowmen Signaculum, you will receive these items as well.

MAP ADJUSTMENTS FOR SIEGE AND FIELD BATTLES:

Based on players feedback and in-game data, we have made adjustments to the following maps:

Valley Fortress (Siege):

  • Increased the amount of Defenders by 1, now making the battles a 15 vs 15.
  • Added ladders on the wall so attackers have a higher chance to access the area. Some ladders will be able to carry 3 lanes of units instead of 2.
  • Added 2 additional Trebuchets for attackers.
  • We adjusted the location of the supply point behind point C, making it possible for attackers Trebuchets to reach the area.
  • Extended the time for the battle from 9 minutes to 10 minutes.
  • Adjusted point B by slightly shrinking the range of the point making it harder for defenders to interrupt the flag capturing process.

Sun City (Siege):

After reviewing the data and player feedback for this map, we found that the win-rate for attackers was lower than expected due to the length of time it required to capture point C. Due to this we have made the following changes:

  • Added 1 additional Trebuchet for attackers.
  • Extended the time after taking point A and B from 3 minutes to 4 minutes,
  • Slightly adjusted the location of the front supply points between point A and point B.

Allenburg (Siege):

After reviewing the data and player feedback for this map, we found that the win-rate for attackers was lower than expected, so we decided to make the following changes:

  • Adjusted the location of 2 supply points outside of the city for attackers, allowing attackers to launch more effective attacks on the fief.
  • Adjusted the location of the supply point between point A and B,
  • Adjusted the location of spawn points for both sides on phase 1.

Dasuo Fort (Siege):

After reviewing the data and player feedback for this map, we have found that defenders win-rate was higher than expected due to the capture rate on point B and C. Due to this we have made the following changes:

  • Increased the reward time from 3 minutes to 4 minutes after taking point A.
  • Added 1 additional Trebuchet for attackers.
  • Adjusted the location of supply points between point B and C.

Augolia (Siege):

  • Increased the amount of Defenders by 1, now making the battles a 15 vs 15.
  • Added more ladders to the wall so attackers have a higher chance of accessing the area. Some ladders will be able to carry 3 lanes of units instead of 2.
  • Added 2 additional Trebuchets for attackers.
  • Added 1 Supply point to the east side and the west side respectively.

Small-sized Siege Maps:

After reviewing the data and player feedback, we found that defenders have an advantage that was higher than expected according to our designs due to the map size and structure of small-sized siege maps (Frontier Camp, The Storehouse, Greenpeak Camp). Due to this, we have made the following changes:

Frontier Camp:

  • Extended the opening time from 7 minutes to 8 minutes.
  • Added 1 additional Trebuchet for attackers.
  • Adjusted the location of the supply point outside of point B for attackers.
  • Added 1 Scorpio at the gate of point A and B.

Greenpeak Camp:

  • Extended the opening time from 7 minutes to 8 minutes.
  • Added 1 additional Trebuchet for attackers.
  • Added 3 Small Catapults outside of the fief, improving the firepower for attackers.

  • Added a path that connects to the stable area near the center between Point A and B.
  • Extended the time for taking point A and B from 2 minutes to 3 minutes.

Patch notes

Imperial Restorationist Rapid Response System:

To increase the maneuverability of the Imperial Restorationists, cohorts will be able to provide support by being able to head straight to battle in lands owned by the Legion.

Warlords can join defending battles immediately by using the “Rapid Response” mechanism.

When Territory Wars starts, the “Rapid Response” button can be found on battles taking place on Legion-owned Fiefs, next to the specified Battle Line listed in the M screen in the bottom corner on the right. You can press this button to enter the Battle Line without needing to manually walk to the Fief and enter.

How to request Support:

  • Warlords must be in a Fief to request Rapid Response.
  • In attacks against a Fief, Warlords need to be part of a Imperial Restorationist Cohort to be able to enter the battle.
  • The Imperial Restoriationist of the local region can reinforce any attacked Fief within the territory.

Things to note:

  • Imperial Restorationists cannot respond to Rapid Response across regions.
  • Warlords battling via the Rapid Response button will consume no items or currency.
  • Warlords battling via Rapid Response can only carry artillery into battle.

Map Changes:

Increased the amount of Defenders by 1, now making the battles a 15 vs 15 for the following Siege maps:

  • Sun City
  • Riverlands Castle
  • Allenburg
  • Dasuo Fort

Allenburg (Siege)

We noticed that the win rate of the attacking side had been going down, especially at Point A/B in phase 1.

  • Increased the amount of Defenders by 1, now making the battle a 15 vs 15.
  • Adjusted the location of the banner at Point B: We noticed that the banners of Point A and B are close enough for the defenders in each point to backup each other. The path between high walls is too narrow for the attackers to access through limited routes. For this sake, we moved the banner at Point B to the wall to make it harder to defend and adjusted the respawn points location for both sides in this area.
  • Added Ladders on the wall: We added more ladders allowed on the wall so attackers have a higher chance to access this area. 4 ladders will be able to carry 3 lanes of units instead of 2.
  • Extended Attack Duration: To make it easier for the attackers to get onto the wall, we increased the initial game duration from 10min to 11min so attackers will have enough time to push the battle to the other side of the wall.
  • Adjusted Siege Engines: Since there would be 15 defenders instead of 14, we added 2 scorpios and 1ballista in the middle and the right lane for the attackers as an effort to adjust the type of the pre-deployed engines.
  • Adjusted the location of trebuchets: Allenburg is a well-structured city where defenders can effectively organize their defence with the help of streets and two layers of walls. We moved the trebuchet in the right lane to a location where it can cover a larger area for the attackers to breach defences.

Sun City (Siege)

  • Removed some obstacles around Point C.

Dasuo Fort (Siege)

We noticed that the win rate of the attacking side was lower than we expected, especially at Point B/C where attackers can hardly get any supply. In addition to changes in the number of participants, we also made the following changes:

  • Added a supply point to the wall on the right: To support the front line better, a supply point has been added to the end of the curved wall on the right lane for the point controller to summon infantry to fight. When Point A is breached, the attackers can make this place their bridgehead of taking Point B and C.
  • Moved supply points outside the city for attackers To better support attackers, we moved supply points closer to the front line so attackers need less time to get their reinforcement to the frontlines.
  • Added Ladders on the wall of the inner city We added more ladders allowed on the wall of the inner city so attackers have a higher chance to access this area. And one of the ladders will be able to carry 3 lanes of units instead of 2.
  • Extended Attack Duration after Taking Point B&C To help the attacker prepare their attack on the inner city, we increased the bonus time from 2min to 3min after taking Point B and C respectively.
  • Added 1 Trebuchet for attackers Since Dasuo Fort was a place easy to hold, we increased 1 Trebuchet for attackers, making it easier to attack with a total of 7 Trebuchets.

Store:

  • Added two masks to the in-game store for April Fools day. These items will also be available on the MY.GAMES Market.
    • Commedia dell'arte Masque
    • Unholy Fool's Headdress

Unit Changes:

Demesne Pikemen:

  • Added unit-renaming content to the node [Tenacity].
  • Increased the cap from 1 layer to 3 for [The Soldier's Life], the first node of the Unit Veterancy - middle lane, increasing the room for health improvement. As this change affects the structure of the Unit’s Veterancy we have reset the Veterancy points you have spent so you can build in this update over again.
  • At the start of Season 2, we made a similar adjustment to [Cataphract Lancers], changing the effect of the node - [Force]. The unit’s veterancy will be reset as well in this update.

Ironcap Scout Cavalry:

  • Optimized the layout of the Wedge formation.

25/03/2020 - Update

Patch notes

  • The "Get" button can now be used in the Campaign Interface. Allowing you to receive your Conqueror's City rewards. Additional rewards mentioned in this article will be credited separately.

20/03/2020 - Update

Patch notes

1. Activated Housebound Heroes Sign-in Event

2. Conqueror’s City:

  • When the Conqueror’s City is occupied, the influence on Nobility titles will be calculated separately. If control of the Conqueror’s City is lost, the control and influence will be cleared and reset after the weekly calculations instead of instantly as it does now.
  • Battle Lines visuals have been optimised. They will display differently depending on who is in each line. Blue is friendly, red is hostile.

Khevtuul Cavalry:

  • Changed [Arrow Rain] to [Hunting Time] which will speed up this unit when they follow you and allow them to let loose volleys at a fast rate for 8 seconds. This skill has a 20 second cooldown.

  • Increased the base blunt armour penetration from 1038 to 1238.
  • Increased the base blunt damage from 1214 to 1306.

Kheshigs:

11/03/2020 - Update

Patch Notes:

Reactivated the Rattan Resistance PvE events.

Added 2 new Unit flags to the In-game Store:

  • Flora and Fauna Banner
  • Warrior Rose Banner

Map Changes:

Royal Ramparts (Conqueror’s City Gates map):

Based on data analysis of the Royal Ramparts map (the map used as the Gates for Conqueror’s City), we have identified that this map heavily favors the defending side making it difficult for attackers. We have decided to make the following changes:

  • Added 3 Catapults.
  • Added additional ladders
  • Increased game time from 13 minutes to 14 minutes.
  • Slightly adjusted other siege machine spawn points for Attackers and Defenders.

Conqueror’s City:

  • Players can exit the city by clicking on the outer gate, this will help resolve issues where players would get stuck inside the Gates when their ownership has changed. This feature has a 5 minute cooldown.
  • Optimised and reordered the icon display of the debuffs you receive in the open-world around the Conqueror’s City.

Miscellaneous Bug Fixes:

  • Fixed a problem where there was no yellow exclamation mark on the Season button once challenges were completed in the Week 11 challenges.
  • Fixed the issue with the challenge “Knowing and Making Friends” which caused the challenge to not complete if your friend request was accepted while you were offline.
  • Fixed a problem in the Royal Ramparts map where attacks could accidentally stop defenders controlling the main gate.
  • Fixed a name display issue for battering rams in the Gates around Conqueror’s City.
  • Fixed a bug with the camera where it shifted automatically in certain situations.

Known Issue:

In PVE Levels such as Bandit Camps, ranged units can sometimes lose their sight making them unable to use auto-attacks. This is a rare occurrence but will be fixed in an upcoming update.

03/03/2020 - Update*

*Some changes highlighted in an earlier post have been removed as they were found to have not been implemented as described. We will continue to keep players updated on any further changes.

New feature:
The Conqueror's City is accessible as part of Season II's Campaign. Please note that March 3rd's Territory Wars will be conducted in "Drill Mode". This is to allow players an opportunity to try out the new mechanics for themselves. You can read about Drill Mode on the events page. 

Ladder interactions in Maps:
In order to provide Warlords more flexibility on the battlefield, we have made lots of improvements and changes by adjusting the interaction logic of ladders in Siege Battles. Attackers and Defenders can both now interact with the siege ladders, whether that be building them or kicking them down, this means that Defenders can quickly get back to the city wall to defend their position, and attackers can also kick out the ladders after climbing the wall to stop the pursuit of enemy forces.

Auction House Guidance Prices:

After reviewing transaction data, we've adjusted the guided price in the Auction House for some of the following items: Unit Kits, Schematics, Weapons and Equipment Sets.

Imperial Restorationists:

Added an exclamation mark for notifications of completion of Seasonal Stage quests within the Seasonal interface (main screen) and the Campaign interface.

Artillery:

Artillery running out of ammo would not only block allies' artillery projectiles but also their movement, so we have optimised this issue accordingly.

  • Deployed Artillery will now be destroyed automatically 30 seconds after they run out of ammo.
  • Optimised the quality filter in the Artillery Workshop to make it easier for Warlords to find the Artillery they are looking for, the categories are:

SYSTEM OPTIMIZATIONS

Honour:
The amount of honour you can hold at a single time has been reduced from 200,000 to 100,000.

Auction House:

After reviewing and checking trading data, we have found that the guidance price of some hero forging and schematic items were lower than the expected market price. We’ve raised the guidance price for the following items as a result:

  • Powdered Silver
  • Steel Shavings
  • Special Helmet Schematics
  • Special Chest Armour Schematics
  • Special Glove Schematics
  • Special Boots Schematics

You can check the adjusted guidance price in the auction house

Inventory and Personal Storage:

Items of the same type will now automatically stack upon entering your inventory.

Map Adjustments:

Harbour City:

After looking at the data of the win/loss ratio on this map, we found that the winning ratio was much higher than expected. We have made the following adjustments to help balance this map:

  • Added few covers near the left city wall to slightly narrow the shooting angle of the defenders.
  • Added one building at the front of defenders’ right supply point to increase cover against Trebuchets.
  • Adjusted the layout of defenders’ right respawn area, added a new path to provide more alternatives.

Augolia Siege Battle:

After looking at the data of the win/loss ratio on this map, we found that the winning ratio was lower than expected. We have made the following adjustments to help balance this map:

  • Added an attacking path along the city wall by point D.

Territory Wars:

We have made adjustments to the Commander system in Territory Wars. The commander system was designed to neutralize the influence of malicious battles. Some players are taking advantage of this feature to declare war on themselves and maliciously kick everyone else out of the battlefield after being assigned as commander. In order to deal with malicious kicking issues, we made the following adjustments:

  • Warlords who have participated in the battle and are in the top two-thirds of player rankings cannot be kicked.
  • Warlords who have only engaged in the battlefield for 2 minutes or less cannot be kicked.

Some Western cities with narrow gates have found to have defending advantages (Ellbogen, Westberg, Rozdaskaszat, etc.). Due to this, we have adjusted the ladder amount to 3 per set (previously 2) and added one set on the right side for attackers.

Weekly Quest: Fine Campaign Reward:

We have raised the possibility of receiving Treatise from the Fine Campaign rewards which are received from weekly quests.

Miscellaneous:

  • Optimized the display of capture progress, now all Warlords engaging in capture can see the progress bar.
  • Optimized the display logic of resource sites in the open world and divided them into “collection prohibited” (set by the House) and “collection failed” (resource is exhausted).
  • Optimized the display of team stats interface in settlements. Now you can click a blank area to close the pop-up window when checking other player’s personal stats.

BALANCE ADJUSTMENTS

WARLORD

We have made the following adjustments to various III skills as some III skills are weaker than level II skills equipped with mastery points.

Shortsword & Shield:

  • Shield Bash Ⅲ: Increased blunt damage by 5%
  • Kick Ⅲ: Increased blunt damage by 3%

Longsword & Shield:

  • With Valour Ⅲ: Increased damage by 3%
  • Paladin Ⅲ: Increased slashing damage by 5%
  • Sally Forth Ⅲ: Increased damage by 5%

Poleaxe:

  • Bec de Corbin Ⅲ: Increased slashing armour penetration by 5%
  • Rough Justice Ⅲ: Increased damage by 5%
  • Halberdier’s Thrust Ⅲ: Increased damage by 3%

Spear:

  • Lugh’s March Ⅲ: Increased piercing damage by 3%
  • Procris’s Gift Ⅲ: Increased piercing armour penetration by 3%
  • Return of Jangar Ⅲ: Increased damage by 3%
  • Heaven’s Fury Ⅲ: Increased damage by 5%

Glaive:

  • Arc of Steel Ⅲ: Increased slashing damage by 3%

Nodachi:

  • Tiger’s Claw Ⅲ: Increased slashing damage by 5%
  • Avalanche Ⅲ: Increased damage by 5%
  • Samurai’s March Ⅲ: Increased slashing armour penetration by 5%

Dual Blade:

  • Marked for Death Ⅲ: Increased slashing armour penetration by 5%

Bow:

  • Flaming Arrow Ⅲ: Increased piercing armour penetration by 3%
  • Exploding Arrow Ⅲ: Increased piercing armour penetration by 5%

Shortbow:

  • Wrath of Artemis Ⅲ: Increased piercing armour penetration by 5%

Miscellaneous:

Damage loss on ranged heroes’ skills:

After checking feedback, we have found that the damage loss when some ranged heroes are shooting through several enemies was inoperative. We have decided to make the following adjustment: Every time a Warlord shoots through an enemy, damage loss will be reduced by 30%.

These adjustments will have an effect on the following skills:

  • Bow: Lightning Bolt
  • Shortbow: Steel-tipped Arrow Ⅲ

Animation Adjustments

Currently the animation of “repelled” is similar to the animation of “knock down”, but only repelled can be cancelled by rolling, whereas knock down cannot. Due to this, many warlords try to cancel their knock down by rolling, which is not possible. To fix this issue and to make it easier for Warlords to distinguish these two statues, we have decided to adjust the animation and increase the displacement distance.

These adjustments will have an effect on the following skills:

  • Longsword & Shield: Shield Bash Ⅲ
  • Poleaxe: Push Back Ⅱ
  • Spear: Dragon’s Roar

UNIT

Prefecture Archers:

  • The “A Hundred Paces” (Each level increases shooting range by 6%) will be replaced by “Mustering” (Each level add 1 more soldier to the unit).
  • Adjusted the maximum shooting range to 87m.

Due to this change, a “Unit Training Plan” reward will be mailed to the Warlords who already unlock the Prefecture Archers, allowing them to reset veterancy points.

Tercio Arquebusiers

  • Increased the accuracy of attacking surrounding/nearest units by 25%
  • Increased the accuracy of attacking designated area by 20%
  • Decreased the shooting gap by 30%
  • Optimized the animation when switching ranged weapons to melee weapons
  • Increased the efficiency for melee fights:
    • Increased the attacking speed of melee attacks.
    • Increased the melee attack damage by 20%.

Javelin Units

  • Decreased the damage loss cap from 30% to 20% for all javelin units
  • Decreased the damage loss rate by 0.5% per meter for all javelin units
  • Javelin sergeants can shoot through the first enemy then attack one more target.

Iron Reapers

  • Decreased the blunt damage for charge with flails by 30%.
  • Increased blunt armour penetration by 15%
  • Added the effect of knocking enemy heroes and units into the air.

Vassal Longbowmen

Due to the relatively long shooting range of this unit, the focused fire skill has some limitations. We are planning to replace this skill with a low cooldown ability which is capable of tracking enemies.

Miscellaneous:

We would like to share some information regarding the design concept for the Winged Hussars and Pikemen brace skills:

Winged Hussars VS Pike Militia

Winged Hussars' charge can't be interrupted when Pike Militia using brace skills in block formation. However, Winged Hussars could easily be wiped out as they will take great damage when they charge into a blocking formation at high speed. This is the characteristic that we designed for Winged Hussars and is what we are intending to present in our game.

Winged Hussars VS Imperial Pike Guards

Winged Hussars' charge can't be stunned or interrupted by any brace skills. However when Imperial Pike Guards advance, they still can knock down, terrify or slow the Winged Hussars.
