| 0s | Hello Forge Fans! |
|---|---|
| 2s | The Guild Battlegrounds update is coming to your server! Those of you who watched |
| 8s | our teaser video or tested the update on our beta server might be familiar with it. We’ve adjusted |
| 14s | some aspects since the beta release, so watch this video for a full rundown of the feature. |
| 19s | We’re bringing a new Championship, new Province Buildings, rewards, |
| 24s | and much more! Before we dive into it, subscribe to our Youtube |
| 28s | channel to never miss any news about Forge of Empires. |
| 36s | [Championship] The first big addition is the Guild Battlegrounds Championship! This is |
| 41s | now a six season long competition where all Guilds compete against each other for glory, |
| 47s | a chance to obtain the Championship reward, and a spot in the brand new global ranking! |
| 53s | The ranking is based first on the current League Points of your Guild, then on the |
| 57s | battleground victories, victory points, and finally – on the Guild level. The leaderboard |
| 63s | for the current Battleground Championship will be shown by default in the global rankings. You |
| 69s | can still check the old ranking based on prestige by clicking on this button in the ranking window. |
| 74s | [Attrition] Let’s start with the interface improvements. To improve visual |
| 78s | clarity and make it easier for the guilds to coordinate, we’ve added a new column to the |
| 83s | member activity tab that will show the current attrition level of all members. |
| 88s | Additionally, the detailed map view will now show the number of building slots in all provinces, |
| 94s | and the chance to gain attrition from adjacent provinces. We’ve also colour coded these attrition |
| 100s | displays to make it easier to see which provinces have the lowest chance to increase your attrition. |
| 105s | When it comes to actual encounters, to make progression of battles more |
| 110s | meaningful and address the battle farming, we’re introducing a cap to limit the chance |
| 115s | of avoiding attrition. It will initially be set to an 80% chance to avoid attrition, |
| 120s | but based on feedback and data the number might change in the future. |
| 124s | To balance this change out, we’ve made it so that the army boost and the difficulty of negotiations |
| 130s | on a province are increasing more slowly as compared to the previous iterations, giving you |
| 136s | a chance to fight or negotiate for longer, before you come across an encounter you struggle to win. |
| 141s | At the same time, we’ve increased the number of advances required to conquer a province, |
| 146s | specifically for the Diamond League Guilds. It is |
| 149s | now 200 advances on the Waterfall map, and 220 on the Volcano map. |
| 154s | [Rewards] First of all, we’ve updated the rewards you get from province advances. We invite |
| 160s | you to discover all the changes by playing the Guild Battlegrounds, |
| 163s | but one of the main updates is the introduction of a new selection kit for each map that includes |
| 170s | all the reward buildings for that map, as well as the chain pieces! |
| 174s | And for Diamond League players we’re introducing two unique reward buildings. |
| 180s | The most prominent new building is the powerful Tower of Champions! To assemble it, |
| 186s | you will require Fragments, which are reserved exclusively for TOP THREE Guilds of the Diamond |
| 191s | League of every Battleground season within this Championship! Do not sleep on the Tower, as we |
| 197s | introduced it with the reward rotation in mind, so for the next Championship it may be replaced. |
| 203s | The Tower is a 4x4 building with two levels, and to get your hands on the level 2, |
| 209s | your Guild must win at least five Battleground seasons out of six to collect enough Fragments. |
| 215s | The Tower has a powerful forge point and guild goods production, as well as attack and defence |
| 221s | boosts that will only apply to units you use to fight in Guild battlegrounds and the Guild |
| 226s | expeditions. Due to these limitations, the boosts are extremely powerful, |
| 231s | so your hard efforts will definitely pay off. Not only that, but the Tower also introduces |
| 237s | two brand new types of boosts that you can expect to see more of in future buildings! |
| 242s | In addition to the Tower of Champions, diamond league players will have a chance |
| 247s | to win fragments for a new limited building from fights or negotiations! The Tourney Grounds is a |
| 253s | 3x4 building that will provide powerful attack and defence boosts exclusively for guild battlegrounds |
| 259s | and the guild expedition, for a limited period of 14 days, before it turns into a decoration. |
| 265s | [The Province Buildings] Last but not least, to help you defend your provinces even more efficiently, |
| 270s | we’ve overhauled the Province Buildings! We removed most of the old buildings, |
| 275s | but let the Decoys, Traps, and Watchtowers stay. |
| 278s | In place of the removed buildings, we’ve added three new building types, |
| 282s | each with three tiers of increasing cost and value. |
| 286s | First off, you can now build one building in the starting province of each guild! It is possible |
| 292s | thanks to the new Guild Fieldcamps. This is the only building that can be placed in the starting |
| 297s | province, and you can use any of its three tiers. These provide both a powerful attrition reduction |
| 303s | that applies to adjacent provinces and a boost in victory points production in the |
| 308s | battleground. However they come at a high cost and a long construction time of up to 24 hours. |
| 314s | For all the other provinces, the three tiers of new Barracks and Guild Command |
| 319s | Post buildings will provide attrition reduction to adjacent provinces and |
| 324s | fortify the province they’re built on, making it require more advances to be conquered. |
| 329s | Additionally, the Guild Command Post will also provide a boost to victory points from |
| 334s | that province! The number of building slots in each province is still random, |
| 338s | but will now always be at least 1, up to a maximum of 3! |
| 342s | Gather your Guildmates to test your strength on the updated Guild |
| 347s | Battlegrounds! Don’t forget to give this video a like and share your Battleground |
| 351s | strategies with other players in the comments. See you in the next one! |
