We’re glad to announce that we’ve just opened the gates for CBT#5!
Among the most important content updates, we’d like to highlight the following:
- Battle System - Currently launched in testing mode. This means that you will have a one hour timer before the battle commences, starting from the initial challenge (rather than the 24 hours as originally planned). There will also be no consequences to a guild monument of the losing side.
- Formations - We have greatly boosted formations in general and made them simpler to use. Coupled with the Battle System, we expect that well-organized guilds will wreak havoc with their wedged charges on enemy lines. You can check out our old Devblog to refresh your memory on the Formations system.
We plan for CBT #5 to be up and running for a few weeks, until we are ready for the next important phase of our tests. Please keep in mind that there will be a wipe and a shuffle of resources after the end of the current CBT#5!
Make sure to check out our Devblog tomorrow to learn more details about our testing schedule and further development plans!
