0s Hello Forge Fans! Boy, do we have news for you!
4s Guildmates, assemble, and  rise to the new challenge!
8s The Guild Battlegrounds feature is  getting a long-awaited makeover!
12s Watch this video for a quick overview of the  changes, just in time for the beta release.
17s That means, if you have a developed City  on our beta server, you can already try it.
23s And if you want to become a new tester,
25s join our beta via the link below  to be the first to try our updates.
30s Now, let's get to the changes.
36s [New Province Buildings] First, we're introducing new  Province Buildings. Give a very
40s warm welcome to Guild Fieldcamps,  Barracks, and Guild Command Posts!
45s These buildings are focused  on helping you decrease the
48s chance of gaining attrition from adjacent  provinces, increase the victory points,
53s and manage the number of advances  required to conquer a province.
57s Each one of them also has three tiers  that offer progressively higher bonuses.
63s [Attrition] Second, the attrition got an update as well.
66s We have now limited the attrition reduction  you can get. So even if you build the
72s maximum number of Province Buildings that  decrease the chance to gain attrition,
76s some chance will remain. But do not despair!  Starting from high attrition levels,
82s it will now take much longer to face an  army or negotiations you cannot overcome.
87s On top of that, you can now see how likely it  is for you to gain attrition from a battle on
93s an attackable sector – this number  will be shown right on top of it!
98s [Championship & Ranking] With this update, we're also  setting a much bigger goal
102s for the Battleground fighters – the Championships!
106s A Championship is a stretch of eight  Battleground seasons. Your Guild's
110s performance during the Championship will determine  its position in the updated Global Rankings and,
117s at least for some Leagues, the reward you will  get. Important! Once the Championship ends,
123s the rankings will reset, as well as - possibly –  the Championship reward for some of the Leagues.
128s The Global Rankings will now default to  a result based on your Guild Battleground
133s performance. But if you still want  to see the Guild vs Guild ranking,
137s click on the icon in the bottom-left corner.
140s Finally, the rewards!
142s [Rewards] Our biggest addition is the Tower of Champions!  This immensely powerful building is available
149s only to the Diamond League, but the road to  assembling is not for the faint of heart.
155s The Tower is an exclusive Championship reward.  For every Battleground season your Guild wins,
161s you will receive Fragments of it. Your Guild will  need to dominate as many Battleground seasons
167s as they can until the Championship ends,  and only then can you assemble the Tower.
174s Once the Championship ends, the race for the  rankings and the rewards will start anew! In
180s the next Championship, we plan to introduce  a different reward for the Diamond League,
184s and maybe even other Leagues in the future!
188s The second prominent addition is  the Tourney Gounds building. Every
192s Battleground battle will now come  with a chance to win Fragments of
195s it. You will need some time to assemble  the Tourney Grounds, but once you do,
200s it will grant you an extremely powerful bonus for  a limited time, before it turns into a decoration.
206s We don't know yet when the update will become  available on our live servers. In the meantime,
212s we encourage you to test the Guild  Battleground Update on our beta server.
216s If you don't play there, please be patient  in waiting for the update to arrive and be
222s prepared that it might undergo some  changes after the testing phase.
226s Stay tuned for more updates and  we'll see you in Forge of Empires!
