Greetings, Warlords!

We will conduct maintenance updates during the following time:

APAC: August 5, 14:00-18:00 (UTC+8)

EU/AMS: August 5, 7:00-11:00 (UTC+1)

The maintenance is expected to last for 4 hours. Afterwards, we will distribute Bronze Coins x8,000, Unit Medals x20 as compensation. Warlords, please arrange your playtime accordingly.

The update will contain the following:

• Completely reset the current Territory War layout.

• Limit the maximum number of players in a single Warlord Faction to 300.

• Warlords currently in a Warlord Faction will automatically leave their original faction and must choose a faction again.

• All Personal Camps will be automatically relocated to a safe city.

• Added more Warlord Faction choices to further enrich the faction ecosystem. The Liu Bei Faction (Starting Fiefs: Hebei - Plains, Dongwuyang) and the Lü Bu Faction (Starting Fiefs: Central Plains - Xiapi, Qiao) have been added. Meanwhile, the Sun Jian Faction in Jingyang has completed a leadership transition and is now the Sun Ce Faction.

• Introduced clearer level requirements and rules for Warlord Factions regarding Territory War participation, rallies, and Stronghold attacks. Warlord Faction Cohorts will now have Cohort levels, which will directly govern their warfare actions.

• Defending guards for the Dong Zhuo, Yuan Shu, Tao Qian, Liu Biao, and Gongsun Zan Warlord Factions will scale and receive additional strength bonuses based on the Stronghold's level.
