We want to encourage players to take part in sieging and not see it as a waste of recourses. We hope these changes will make sieging a fairer and more approachable task. -=COMING SOON=- In out next update, we will be adding the following major changes: -Adding 'Houses'. Houses will enable you to form groups with other players. Your house will have It's own name and coat of arms dictated by the house leader and will appear on a house leader board ranked by the average glory of it's members. This will show how you and your allies rank against the rest. -Looting wood & stone from enemy lords. Players will be able to loot wood & stone materials from other players, better rewarding them for engaging in PVP sieges. Players will be rewarded more material based on the number of stars earned during a siege. -We are aware of current issues causing frame rate drops for some devices and are investigating it thoroughly. Thankyou for your patience as we try to fix and further improve our game!
