Adjustments
On the TAB screen during battle, and the results screen after battle, the scores and kills of the team will be removed and personal detailed gains will be included instead. We wish to focus attention on the specific battlefield situation, the contribution brought to the team and the victory achieved through cooperation, rather than personal scores and kills.
Conditions for “Highlighted Players” on the results screen will be changed: those players who made an excellent contribution to the team will now be highlighted, and the highest scores will not be taken into consideration. The MVP will certainly be among the “Highlighted Players”, and at most three people in the team can be included.
New PVE Achievement:
Tenderness toward girls: win the battle and let two maids survive while fighting with Dong Zhuo in Luoyang.
The Detailed Stats interface after battle (press Z to check) has been optimized.
After a PVE battle, the system will not draw lottery automatically. The unused chances will accumulate and players can use the chance to draw lottery from “Supply” on the upper right corner of the lobby.
Bugs Fixed
The tier in General Assembly could be downgraded.
The Dragon banner crossbow was not displayed on the general’s back.
When drawing the lottery ten times for permanent equipment, tips intended for temporary equipment were displayed.
When a horse was killed on a slope or ramp, it could randomly cause the general to dismount incorrectly into world geometry.
As a melee war game, Tiger Knight has always aimed to recreate the global warfare of ancient times. These battles should be a strategic game between different factions and a contest of tactics on a single battlefield. This is the gameplay we present in Tiger Knight, which we continue to refine and improve.
Recently, we began organizing the Empire Control forum event, a hypothetical territory control expansion of the Tiger Knight gameplay, and Legions had fun planning and scheming their way to victory. Our next goal is to incorporate a more fully formed version of Empire Control to the game itself, and this developers’ note will brief you about its content and rules.
The Principles in Designing Empire Control
Engaging all players in this new game mode has been the basic principle when designing Empire Control. We hope to entice not only the powerful legions, but also random players to join in this brand new gameplay mode. Therefore, we designed the ancient world territory map so that all players can move on it, and have an effect on the trend of the global battlefield.
Famous Forces in Ancient Times
The map of Three Kingdoms Period of China will be added to this mode first, providing 8 forces for players to choose from: Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Ce, Yuan Shao, Gongsun Zan, Ma Teng, Liu Biao and Liu Zhang. After completing the rest of the units, we will include other famous forces such as the Roman Empire from the continents of Europe, Asia and Africa. Players from legions can build around the city they captured and expand their forces from there. Random players can choose to rely on the main city of their chosen force.
Core gameplay of Empire Control
In-game Empire Control will focus on two parts: construction and battle. On one hand, the leader of a city can assign tasks for the players of his force to construct and maintain a city. On the other hand, players from different forces can fight battles at a certain time in the form of Conquest or Siege mode. The battles will be carried out between forces, so legions within the same force must work together to survive. Only the most powerful force can expand its territory, and the world may be united by one single powerful force.
As we continue development, we will add more elements to Empire Control legion wars and force wars, making combat more fun and engaging. Further details relating to Empire Control will be rolled out in the coming developers’ notes, please stay tuned!
Empire Control – Campaign 2 will kick off on Monday 22nd May, and run for 4 weeks. Players and Legions who sign up can fight for the following rewards:
1) Weekly Reward:
All participating Legion members will receive 50,000 Copper each week.
2) Final Reward:
All surviving Legions submit a 10 player list, with each receiving - Barrack Expansion - 7 Day VIP Card - Prestige based on Legion Final Score.
Captured territory grants points (1 point = 2000 Prestige. Town = 1, City = 2, Empire = 5, Capital = 5) , and at the end of each week we will note the weekly score. These will be combined at the end of the Campaign for the Legion Final Score.
3) Empire Control Champion Reward:
The winning Legion (based on Legion Final Score) using the same 10 player list as above, will each receive: Token Pack x1 Unique Empire Control Champion Cloak (30 days duration).

This week we have released a brand new DLC-Righteous White Horses, which sold well. Hereby, we would like to express our gratitude to all the players who bought this DLC! The promotion activity will carry on for a week, after which it will return to full price. Don’t miss this big sale~ Now let’s answer some of the questions asked by our players:
Q: Random players against teamed up players?
A: This is one of the most heated questions discussed lately. Various solutions have been recorded as important references. Tiger Knight is meant to be a game for both you and your friends to team up and have fun, and also a game for you to win with your own capabilities. The balance between these two sides will be weighed carefully to fix this paradox. Please keep giving your suggestions to us, we appreciate your support in making this game.
Q:I can’t add more new friends. What’s the cap of friends number?
A:The cap is 50 people. The number of friends is not important, it’s the quality that matters. So we hope our players to selectively add friends. And we will also consider raising the cap of friends cap.
Q: Will Barbarians be added in?
A: We see before Rome was released, the most asked question was will you add Rome? And now three months after Rome, people are getting concerned about whether and when the next faction will join in. We appreciate your curiosity and anticipation for the new content; in fact, we are planning on making Barbarians after finishing the whole Roman units. But currently, we will focus on completing the rest of the Roman units, please wait for the new content in patience.
Q: Will the Ranking open in Ladder Tournament?
A: It’s been over a month since Ladder Tournament was released, we understand many of you want to know your rank, and we are developing the functions relating the ranking. If everything goes well, it will meet you next week. Meanwhile, we also welcome suggestions on the ranking.
Q: I want to use the concept art of TK as the wallpaper of computer or publicity material. Where can I get that?
A: There is a section for concept art in our official website http://tk.oasgames.com/medialist/gamepic for you to download. More artwork will be updated here later. Please stay tuned!
Q: What is Empire Control? How do I participate in it?
