Changelog v.0.9.4.1.3
Siege Changes:
That’s big: we’ve added the “Emperor’s Flame”, a new Siege Engine weapon which has been inspired by the Greek Fire!
This special “short-ranged splash & static” weapon is introduced to help the groups pushed back to their Siege Camps defend themselves against the enemy forces. This weapon is fully static and the distance from the Siege Camps is limited.
The first of the 2 use-cases are the Siege Camps at the nation-controlled flags. Many times in the past, the underdog faction players have been pushed to their spawn point and haven’t had the power to break through the enemies camping next to their spawn area. Those machines shall give some additional power to break through the attackers line and move forward.
Second case is the State of War. The player-built Siege Camps will now by default spawn with this new weapon placed, and will allow players spawn more of them instead of offensive weapons if they wanted to improve the safety of their Siege Camp if they expect the enemy push coming. The short range of fire excludes this weapon as an assault weapon at SoW.
Other than that, we’ve increased the terrain flatness tolerance while spawning Siege Tents by players. It will increase potential places where they can be spawned, for example close to Skergard.
Get ready to burn them – to the ground!

New Questline:
We’ve introduced a new complete questline for Midland, which is enabled after completing the first 2 quest chains. This new questline resembles similar content for the Ismir and Sangmar players: “Disappearance of Claretta” and “Where’s my husband?”
Also, its final stage takes place in the area of the recently added event “The Grey Company” – there are a lot of new locations to be explored!
Quality of Life Improvements:
As always, there’re many improvements done upon your suggestions:
– Standardized the World Events for daily events purposes, to make them count on finishing it instead on in the middle of event
– Changes in redistribution of gold for new players for doing quests – since creating new characters was one of best gold-making methods in game (which obviously was not intended), we reduced some gold for doing beginners questlines, and moved that gold to the boosted account-wide rewards (such as feedback) and added some starting silver at new players depo.
– due to players suggestion we have made parties stay after the Siege Events end, it helps to push the party further the battles
– Added progress bar for leaving the events via button, which was used before as an exploit to avoid death as instant teleport
– Many Level Design improvements at the farming fields next to the flags, unifying their sizes for the flags of the same tiers and, therefore, improving the nations balance
Fixes:
– Fixed an edge case for Catacombs event when player moving inside the dungeon would be stuck on the wall
– Fixed an case of where activity of State Of War change was shown twice
– Fixed an edge case allowing to load the character selection twice, which led to characters not loading at all.
– Fixed a bug allowing traitor to ride the Siege Machine which led to enemy nation not being able to hit that machine at all.
– Fixed an issue with saving default chat colour
– Fixed an issue which using water by hotbar to water up the plans used too many water buckets
– Fixes the edge-case bug with the Gunnhild’s dialog which could make the player stuck with quest
– Fixed a bug allowing looting the workshops at the safe zone, built at previous server session. We found out that this bug was introduced a few months ago, luckily it was fixed in no time after being reported by a players today. The first player who reported it to us received reward for reporting critical issues.
