Advent Calendar

Chocolate is for bumpkins... Real knights get strategy cards in their advent calendar! Log in daily for your chance to win a Stronghold Kingdoms Card Pack or a 7-Day Premium Token:

1. Log into Stronghold Kingdoms once a day.
   
2. Click on one of nine Advent Calendar doors.
   
3. Try a different door if you don’t win the first time.
   
4. Come back tomorrow and do the same!

In-Game Event

Be the first to uncover festive resource stashes (shaped like presents) scattered across the world map and with a little luck you could claim some rare loot! After a present has been opened, the stash will revert to its original form such as wood, spices, ale or other resources. So if you have no luck in the daily calendar, be sure to send out the scouts before your neighbors do!



While the Advent Calendar will vanish on December 26th, both the snowy landscape and special present resource stashes will remain active until January 1st. Your chances of winning may depend on luck, but with two chances daily and a guaranteed prize on Christmas Day not a single farmer, trader or warlord should enter the new year empty handed.

Happy Holidays!

Dear Pathfinders,

we have an important update for you today: we have made the decision to move the release date of “The Wildcards” DLC to next week. The last two months have taught us a good lesson – it is always better to take some extra time to make sure everything is ready, and we feel like we should not rush our first major DLC. To ensure we deliver the experience and quality you deserve, we will dedicate additional time and effort to “The Wildcards”. We hope you can understand our decision - it was not one that was made easily, however, we believe it was the right one.

Thank you for bearing with us, and thank you for your patience!

Dear all,

We want you to send us your best plays to give you some rewards!

We will select some of the best plays of December and the plays that appear in the video will get:

- 5000 Zula Gold + 1 Golden Deck

You can submit your best Zula plays on the following way:

- Leave the YouTube link of the video on this post.

IMPORTANT: You should give us the information below (either you send the video via email or posting it here):

- Video title
- Your Zula in game name
- Your Country

Question: How can I record my plays?

You can record your gameplays using the following programs:

- GeForce Experience (Gamestream)
- Open Broadcaster Software
- XSplit Gamecaster

IMPORTANT:

- Videos made with a mobile phone, cameras or that have low quality won’t be accepted. We will only accept high quality videos (minimum 720HD & 30FPS).
- Don't edit the video (no zooms, no webcams, no special effects...).
- Don't skip scenes (you can add fast forward effect if the play is too long).
- If you send a montage, you should indicate the time so we can see the play that you want to submit. For example, Zula Europe Montage (3:07)

As with all games where a successful attack results in dwindling health, there is within the codified logic of Conqueror’s Blade a system that determines how damage is applied. Given all the weapons and player attributes in play, the system at heart is quite complex. However, with just an overview of the various damage types and the elements that govern how damage is worked out, it could make all the difference in your future closed beta battles.



Health: In order to survive any attack a player needs a resources of health, represented by Health Points (HP). The more HP a player has, the more damage can be absorbed, until, of course HP reaches zero and the player is returned to limbo. As you might expect, the amount of damage sustained will largely depend on the weapon being used.

 

Weapon type: There are three dominant types of attack in Conqueror’s Blade, determined by the type of weapon or ammunition. These are piercing attacks (delivered via a sharp point such as a spear or arrow), slashing or cutting attacks (such as from a edged blade) and blunt attacks from the hilt or butt of a weapon (or from a shield). Other types of attack include fire, bleeding and poison, which usually deliver damage over a period of time.

 

Damage: The damage from each type of attack is calculated differently, depending on the attributes and skills of the attacker, the weapon being used and the armor attributes of the defender. For melee attacks the relative speed between the attacker and defender - such as from a mounted charge - is an additional factor, while for ranged attacks attenuation is important - the proportion of energy in a projectile that’s lost over distance.

 

Armor type: Broadly there are three types of armor in Conqueror’s Blade, light, medium and heavy, which roughly equates to padded or leather armor, chainmail armor and plate armor. Historically there was a wide variety of armor types and mixes that were effective in many different situations, but broadly speaking link mail tended to be effective against piercing weapons (arrows often being an exception) and plate armor was a counter to heavy bladed weapons.     

 

Damage over time: While not a consideration for individual attacks, damage over time (DoT) is an important element of any combat encounter. Usually the more damaging a single attack is, the more limited its future use might be, either by extending the delay between attacks, or imposing some kind of stamina, agility or equipment cost. For example, a two-handed and/or heavy-bladed  weapon will usually have a greater reach and incur more damage per attack than a one-handed and/or piercing weapon, often at a cost to attack frequency by way of stamina requirements.


Skills and Abilities: Currently each weapon type (class) can have up to three abilities assigned. These abilities are specific to the weapon, but might not necessarily generate the same type of damage for which the weapon is typically associated. For example a spear is a piercing weapon, but there are skills that allow it to generate blunt damage, which, for example, would make it more effective against a heavily-armored opponent.

Calico M951S is a weapon that needs no introduction, regarded as one of the best firearms in the game.

It will stay in store till the 12th of December.




Calico M951S is the automatic rifle that employs M960 submachine gun design. One of its distinctive features is the helical magazine atop the firearm. Owing to its futuristic looks, the weapon was well-received in the movies. While the concept of a light low-recoil large-capacity firearm appealed to many, the weapon’s future and opportunities are believed to have shrunk due to the Assault Weapons Ban of 1994 that limited the capacity of civilian guns down to mere 10 rounds.




Technically a carbine rather than a full-size rifle, Calico M951S is light and mobile. It possesses the absolute highest rate of fire among all other sniper rifles in the game, while its damage, recoil and mag size make it a superb tool for any sniper.

Apart from the fine combination of qualities above, Calico M951S shows great performance in other fields as well: accuracy is on-point, and so is the effective range. The magazine carries a total of 30 (!) rounds, and you can carry a total of 60 ammo into battle. The reload speed is average, though with the magazine size it barely raises concern – the enemy team’s likely to be dead or desperately ducking for cover by the time you stop firing.

You can outfit the carbine with a variety of muzzle attachments, bipods and scopes to your liking.


Calico M951S comes with two custom achievements for 10 000 and 25 000 combat eliminations respectively. Once unlocked, these can be featured on your profile as stripes!
