Commanders,

Version 9.3 brought a lot of changes to the game including new functionalities to the Strongholds game mode. We are not resting on our laurels, however, and continue working on further developing the game mode. As a result, on 3 October we will be launching a dedicated test phase for the Strongholds game mode and invite you to take part in the testing.

  • Possibility to create a Stronghold and upgrade it to Level 10. Any clan member can create a Stronghold!
  • Ability to build Structures that produce special Reserves (bonuses), which can be upgraded to Level 10.
  • Possibility to set a Defending Period for a Stronghold. Can be done by any clan member.
  • Ability to attack the Strongholds of other clans. Can be done by any clan member.
  • All functionalities of Strongholds from the main game client are enabled.
  • Possibility to participate in a Skirmish to earn Industrial Resources with X5 income rate for Resources.
