Update 27 arrives with Santa’s sleigh and it’s full of sparkling surprises! Gem stones, new equipment bonuses, a new equipment slot and exclusive holiday features are all coming to test your imagination and ingenuity.



(Live on December 7)
The crafting has just reached a new level! Evolve your Champion equipment by socketing valuable gems that grant game-changing bonuses. Discover a huge number of combinations by fusing and socketing gems of six unique types.

• Gemstones will be unlocked at Castle Level 15
• Only selected equipment items will have gem sockets, those include all Epic and Legendary quality gear
• To unlock the gem sockets, an equipment item must first be upgraded to 3 stars
• Equipment items will have up to 3 sockets of specific, pre-determined colors
• When socketing gems, the color of the gem must match the color of the socket on the equipment item you’re trying to enhance
• Any equipment item that is socketed with a gem will be placed in an entirely New Inventory, which will allow only a certain amount of Socketed Items to be placed inside. You can increase the size of the Socketed Items Inventory up to 100 by using a bunch of the new Jeweler’s Tools item
• Keep in mind that if your Socketed Items inventory is full or you wish to recover gems you have already socketed, you can always remove gemstones from equipment by using the new Jeweler’s Tweezers item
• You will be able to find gems in your Daily Quest chests and Stronghold chests, in rewards from Events, at the Exotic Dealer’s, and of course in our special gem offers.
• Discover a huge amount of combinations that yield different results - test new strategies and surprise your enemies



The gems will have 6 colours – red, blue, yellow, green, white and prismatic. Each color will have up to 4 different shapes. Depending on their colour and shape, gems grant different bonuses to the equipment item they are socketed in. In addition, there are 6 levels of gemstones available for each color and shape. Fuse gems of the same colour and level to receive a higher level gem for increased bonuses. Mix and match until you find the most powerful combination.
Note that the Prismatic Gems are special gems that can go into any socket, regardless its colour.

Complete your Champion’s formidable look with a Cloak that will underscore your skills and might perfectly. Cloaks are a unique new equipment item that brings special bonuses unlike any you’ve seen before. The new bonuses scale depends on the quality of the Cloak. Some of them are Gathered Resource – gain X% additional resources based on the amount and type of resources gathered at a resource tile when the army returns to your city and Strength vs. Encounters (Stackable Effect) – Gain X% Army Attack & Health vs. Encounters for 30 minutes after defeating a PvE Encounter Camp with your Champion leading the army. This effect stacks up to 5 times. You can get also Trade Deal Modifier, Lower Enemy Attributes in Combat and others.


Now every player can get rewards from events upon achieving their personal milestones. King or squire – everyone counts! The personal goals will always be in the form of milestones and will grant excellent rewards for your efforts. You can expect to see the following Personal Events: Train Units, Gain Might Pillage/Recover Capitals, Burn/Loot Cities, Siege Battles and Purge Barbarians.

The holidays are coming to your Castle – enjoy tons of exclusive activities!

• Daily Urn cooldown is now 1 hour (down from 2 hours)
• Daily Quests have received some tuning and should now be more appropriate depending on the player’s Castle level

• Now that your strength can grow bigger with the new powerful bonuses and equipment, we’d like to notify you that the Barbarian Hordes (Events) and Resistance Camps (Purge the Realm) have adjusted their powers, too, to be better prepared when they meet you in battle. Their Attack and Health bonuses are now increased to bring them closer to their intended power level.

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.



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!



Your great Academy has attracted the best scientists in the realm and they have a few new ideas. Explore and research the 6 new technologies that have been added to Era VI to gain an edge against your foes.



Outsmart the Savages in a series of tactical battles. Face increasingly strong enemy and destroy its every camp on your way to loot exclusive equipment for your Champion.

This summer is going to be eventful with the hot new features of Update 24! Unique stories, challenges and arduous quests await to be explored and untangled with the Narrative Journal Missions and the Hall of Fame Feats. Are you ready to put your valor and persistence to the test?



There have been rumors among the country folk that your realm has been collapsing under attacks of unknown foe. Holly, the tavern keeper’s daughter, is the only one brave enough to come and tell you about the atrocities that your people are facing. Are you curious to know how this story goes on?
The Narrative Journal Missions will be a time-limited story which will be available for 24 hours. It will present the players with a 5-step progression with a different mission at each step (explore, search, siege, prepare and raid) and a challenging finale.



Each of the missions includes sending a march to an unseen before object on the World Map. Completing a mission will lead to the next one, and completing the final 5th mission will complete the entire story. The completion of each mission from Step 1 to Step 4, provides a passive bonus that you can use to successfully complete Step 5 Mission, i.e. the whole story. The bonus could be for example “Skip one or two battle waves”, “Remove enemy bonuses”, “Remove enemy Units Skills”, etc.
At the end of the day, the history remembers the victors so complete all the missions successfully and be heaped with tons of rewards!
