Update 25 Live!

The most titanic clash for the Thorne of Might is coming with Update 25, my Lords! Get ready for the Imperial Siege – the multi-realm Throne conquest! Up to six realms will face up in a fierce battle! Only one ruler can dominate and bask in glory in the end.



The Imperial Siege


This event is played in two distinct phases. In the Build-up Phase, players can invade other realms and prepare for battle. Once the Build-up phase is over, the Siege Phase begins and players can start sending rallies against the enemy structures. Those phases are explained in details below.

Build-up Phase
Squire, Knight or King – get ready for the siege and strike as one while your enemy mobilizes! Gather as many War Supplies as possible to upgrade your army, Throne and structures. Upgrade fierce Siege Towers to breach the enemy’s wall easily. Fortify the Defensive Garrisons on your home realm’s siege wall so no enemy can come through.
When the Imperial Siege event starts all players in the Throne of Might and Seats of Power areas are relocated back to their Alliance territories; all active marches are cancelled, too.
New structures are spawned in the areas of the Throne of Might and the Seats of Power (all other objects - mines, camps, etc. are removed). These are the War Supplies Storages, the Siege Walls, the Defensive Garrisons, the Siege Towers (next to Defensive Garrisons), the Healing Tent, the Armory, and last but not least - the Rally Point
Players can level up their Throne of Might (for defenders) and Seats of Power (for invaders) by sending War Supplies. Other structures (Healing Tent, Armory, Rally Point) cannot be upgraded to a higher level until the Throne of Might or the Seat of Power has been upgraded to that level first.



Siege Phase
Attack and conquer – lead your army in the most epic battles ever! Destroy all key defences of the enemy wall and breach it. Conquer the Throne of Might in the final battle and gain a huge amount of event points. Win the Imperial Siege and enjoy a colossal golden feast for your realm!
In order to destroy a Defensive Garrison, the invaders must gather troops in the respective Siege Tower. Once enough units are gathered inside, the Siege Tower will begin a countdown to start a rally.
At the same time, the Defenders are able to reinforce that Defensive Garrison, so that they can prepare for the battle. Each time the Defensive Garrison’s army is defeated in battle, the Defensive Garrison will be damaged. Once enough damage is inflicted, the garrison will be destroyed.

After all of the Defensive Garrisons are destroyed for an Invading Realm, the players from that Realm may start a Rally from their own Rally Point towards the Throne of Might. If the Throne is successfully contested and held for the required amount of time by an Invading Realm, it is then destroyed and no other Realm or even the defenders can contest it again. This awards a large amount of event points!

Emperor’s Skills
During the Build-up and Siege Phases, players will gather large amounts of War Supplies to fuel their conquest and defenses. This in turn will generate a special resource called Imperial Tokens that can be used by the Emperors of each realm to activate powerful abilities that may define the outcome in the event! Some of them have an instant effect, while others provide a timed bonus for the entire realm. Proper planning and strategic use of the Emperor’s abilities is crucial to the success of the realm!
