During that time we have received a lot of feedback and requests to reduce the difficulty a little bit and make these towers more profitable.</li> <li>In this update we want to fulfill your wish in regards to the level 81 robber baron towers:</li> <ul> <li>The robber baron castellan stats strength have been reduced and replaced with</li> <ul> <li>+40% wall protection</li> <li>+33% gate protection</li> <li>+42% combat strength for melee units</li> <li>+38% combat strength for ranged units</li> </ul> <li>Units and tools on flanks and the front have been reduced to</li> <ul> <li>Units Left Flank: Halberdier (56), Longbowman (16)</li> <li>Tools Left Flank: Defense Rocks (4)</li> <li>Units Middle: Halberdier (75), Longbowman (16)</li> <li>Tools Middle: Castle gate reinforcement (4)</li> <li>Units Right Flank: Halberdier (39), Longbowman (27)</li> <li>Tools Right Flank: Flaming arrows (4)</li> <li>Units Keep: Halberdier (9), Longbowman (68)</li> </ul> <li>Overall, we tried to design it as flexible and variable as possible for you. It is up to you to attack the left flank and use fewer tools or save more units on the right flank but use more tools.</li> <li>The new balanced max towers are comparable to a good nomads camp now.</li> </ul> </ul> <h2> <b><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/jg/kt65y8wmkh3y.png" /> Repricing of gem packages in the equipment trader</b></h2> <ul> <li>Common gems were reduced in price! For example, you can now get a random Level 7 gem for just 12,000 rubies or a gem of the stormed flank (level 11) for 229,000 rubies!</li> </ul> <br /> <h2> <b><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/43/rhfjt87y9fqk.png" /> Improve the cost/benefit ratio of units & tools</b></h2> <ul> <li>Besides the max tower rebalancing, we have also received a lot of feedback concerning the costs of units and tools you can get at the armorer or in events.</li> <li>With this update we will change some pricing for tools as follows:</li> </ul> <br /> <div> <table><tbody> <tr><td><b>Tool</b></td><td><b>Trader</b></td><td><b>Old Costs</b></td><td><b>New Costs</b></td></tr> <tr><td>Portcullis</td><td>Armorer</td><td>Rubies: 79</td><td>Rubies: 58</td></tr> <tr><td>Shield wall</td><td>Armorer</td><td>Rubies: 41</td><td>Rubies: 31</td></tr> <tr><td>Arrow slit</td><td>Armorer</td><td>Rubies: 74</td><td>Rubies: 58</td></tr> <tr><td>Fire moat</td><td>Armorer</td><td>Rubies: 84</td><td>Rubies: 68</td></tr> <tr><td>Hero' banner</td><td>Armorer</td><td>Rubies: 62</td><td>Rubies: 46</td></tr> <tr><td>Banner of triumph</td><td>Armorer</td><td>Rubies: 145</td><td>Rubies: 108</td></tr> </tbody></table> <br /> <br /></div> <ul> <li>We will also introduce 10 new units packages to the Armorer:</li> </ul> <br /> <div> <table><tbody> <tr><td><b>Unit</b></td><td><b>Trader</b></td><td><b>Rubies</b></td><td><b>Amount</b></td><td><b>special Conditions</b></td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling knight (Extra Large)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>105.000</td><td>2000</td><td><br /> Level 70+<br /> stock:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling knight (Large)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>63.000</td><td>1000</td><td><br /> stock:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling knight (Mid)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>34.000</td><td>500</td><td><br /> stock: 2</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling knight (Small)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>14.000</td><td>200</td><td>Level 6-69<br /> stock: 3</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling crossbowman (Extra Large)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>130.000</td><td>2000</td><td><br /> Level 70+<br /> stock:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling crossbowman (Large)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>80.000</td><td>1000</td><td><br /> stock:1</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling crossbowman (Mid)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>43.000</td><td>500</td><td><br /> stock: 2</td></tr> <tr><td>Traveling crossbowman (Small)</td><td>Armorer</td><td>18.000</td><td>200</td><td>Level 6-69<br /> stock: 3</td></tr> <tr><td>Veteran composite bowman</td><td>Armorer</td><td>138.000</td><td>500</td><td><br /> stock: 1</td></tr> <tr><td>Veteran flame bearer</td><td>Armorer</td><td>147.000</td><td>500</td><td><br /> stock: 1</td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> <br /> <ul> <li>Keep in mind, every package has a certain stock limit per armorer event which means you can only buy them once up to 3 times, depending on the package.</li> </ul> <div class="post-text-align-center"> <br /><img alt="" height="22" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Bwc-cFa8Y4Nd1R0MbEGB-qlCoytOnv_bh5DfbyE6x_hvwzq0Ag78rs7kiWm791Ja9qmYlhmglDksTVKj65tWo6joNb9rnwjyPUcaOBI3fTvJUM9VCMberem3_3rV2UQgVmE5MnUH" title="Image: https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/Bwc-cFa8Y4Nd1R0MbEGB-qlCoytOnv_bh5DfbyE6x_hvwzq0Ag78rs7kiWm791Ja9qmYlhmglDksTVKj65tWo6joNb9rnwjyPUcaOBI3fTvJUM9VCMberem3_3rV2UQgVmE5MnUH" width="450" /></div> <br /></div> </div>

Shapeshifter Event Teasers/Info

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <img alt="" src="https://i.imgur.com/igAJxiF.png" /><br /> <div class="Message"> The attack of the shapeshifters is a time limited event in which you can anonymously fight and compete against other castle lords on the world map. At the start of the event, Shapeshifter totems will appear in front of your castle in the Great Empire. Each totem represents a real player on the world map and will imitate that player's actions.<br /> <br /> <b>Disclaimer:</b> Any text and numbers you will see in the following walkthrough are not finalized yet, please take that into account when providing feedback.<br /> <br /> <ul> <li>When the event begins you will receive a message announcing the arrival of the Shapeshifters.<img alt="" height="473" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/k9/zl9ika2ti8iw.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/k9/zl9ika2ti8iw.jpg" width="565" /></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Opening the message will present you with a short introduction to the event, including brief information about the goals, point system and rewards available. Be sure to check out the help dialog for even more details about the event.                   <a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/dg/awu5a3h8cnbn.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="424" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/dg/awu5a3h8cnbn.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/dg/awu5a3h8cnbn.jpg" width="565" /></a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>You will also find an Attack of the Shapeshifters event building outside your main castle. Interact with it to open the event dialog.<br /><img alt="" height="226" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ky/o6rn7l60tpl7.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ky/o6rn7l60tpl7.jpg" width="264" /></li> </ul> <ul> <li>In the event dialog you will find information about your current event progress. This includes details about the Shapeshifters you have been matched against, if they have attacked you, or if you already attacked them. Right below them you will find information about your current and best point series. You need to launch five attacks against Shapeshifter targets to complete a point series.<a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ea/ex7rnwyyxw53.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="425" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ea/ex7rnwyyxw53.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ea/ex7rnwyyxw53.jpg" width="565" /></a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Clicking on one of Shapeshifters in the event dialog will take you directly to their respective camp on  the world map. To make the camps easily identifiable, you can also find each Shapeshifter’s respective picture in the camp tooltip. Keep in mind that Shapeshifters mimic castle lords on the world map, i.e. behind each Shapeshifter there is a real human player.<br /><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/gr/4rorjzvdvb93.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/gr/4rorjzvdvb93.jpg" /></li> </ul> A well prepared attack starts with the proper intelligence, so be sure to spy on your enemies and plan your attacks accordingly. Remember: Although the Shapeshifters have taken the place of real castle lords, they have made some unit adjustments - so be sure to study your reports carefully.<br /> <img alt="" height="452" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/04/iqr5wuepxvg6.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/04/iqr5wuepxvg6.jpg" width="565" /><br /> <br /> Shapeshifters replace all defending troops with unique Shapeshifter units. The replacement is not a one on one conversion, but rather a strength conversion.<br /> <img alt="" height="475" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/w9/v5ds2dr4812v.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/w9/v5ds2dr4812v.jpg" width="565" /><br /> <ul> <li>Take a look at the stats of Shapeshifter units to quickly calculate the strength your target’s flank or front.<br /><img alt="" height="181" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ba/xc60ifbczzit.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ba/xc60ifbczzit.jpg" width="281" /></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Now is the perfect time to consider turning our attentions to the event’s hardcore mode. Here you can either challenge yourself by activating one or more of these effects, or adjust your point gain for easier enemies. We don’t recommend turning them on all at once though! </li> <li><a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ko/yh58flevjy2y.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="424" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ko/yh58flevjy2y.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ko/yh58flevjy2y.jpg" width="565" /></a><br /><b>Please remember</b> the disclaimer mentioned at the beginning of the walkthrough regarding stats/numbers!</li> </ul> <br /> <ul> <li>You will receive points for each attack against a Shapeshifter totem. The amount of points received depends on how well you battled against the enemy. The general rule of thumb here is: the better the enemy defends, the less points you will get. This is also something worth remembering when defending against Shapeshifter attacks on your castle!<a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/zr/ikpwqb3gec12.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="431" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/zr/ikpwqb3gec12.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/zr/ikpwqb3gec12.jpg" width="565" /></a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>Be sure to keep an eye on your progress during the event. The best point series that you achieve during the event runtime will determine your ranking performance.<a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ze/li19ajg6h5ng.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="427" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ze/li19ajg6h5ng.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/ze/li19ajg6h5ng.jpg" width="565" /></a></li> </ul> <ul> <li>In case you get attacked by a Shapeshifter, you can switch to a special event view in the defense setup screen. This will convert your castle into a Shapeshifter totem so you can asses your own defenses as if you were spying on yourself as a Shapeshifter.<a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/5b/4pe0edyzrrze.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="" height="428" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/5b/4pe0edyzrrze.jpg" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/5b/4pe0edyzrrze.jpg" width="565" /></a><br />If there are any <b>alliance support troops</b> stationed in your castle, be sure to set your defenses using this special view as those support troops won’t be able to help you against Shapeshifter attacks.</li> </ul> <br /> <ul> <li>When you have completed your first point series, you will gain a ranking position. Once a day you will be rewarded with Shapeshifter insignias based on your ranking position.<br />You will also be rewarded with Shapeshifter Charms each time you attack a Shapeshifter totem.
