Dear Warlords,
We will be conducting server maintenance during the period of 6 am to 8 am, Nov 28th (UTC+8). The estimated maintenance time is approximately 2 hours. Here is the patch note.

1.Map Adjustments
1)Dasuo Fort
After reviewing your feedbacks and having internal tests, we found that Dasuo Fort was still imbalanced with relatively low win ratio of attackers. It was hard for them to capture Point B and C after taking control of Point A. We’re guessing that it is caused by the following reasons:

a)Complex internal layout of Dasuo Fort
b)After attackers capturing Point A, there was only one route for them to get to the nearest supply point. They will suffer a huge loss attacking this supply point even with the help of several ranged units.
c)It was hard for them to continuously attack Point B and C without taking over the supply point.

So we made the following adjustments:
Added a stairs at the starting point of city wall, making it easier for Warlords to get to the supply point. Warlords who capture the city wall in advance may have a better chance to take over the supply point then quickly support the battles between Point A and Point B.



2)Allenburg
After reviewing your feedbacks and having internal tests, we found that there were two main issues when attackers trying to capture Point B:
a)Stairs were too narrow for attacking
b)Attackers have few attacking routes when attacking Point B

We made the following adjustments accordingly:
a)Widened the stairs from city wall to Point B
b)Added a new attacking route connecting the city wall.



c)Added a stair and a set of ladders on the northeastern side of internal castle’s city wall.



d)Widened the stairs from city wall to Point A



2.Unit Balance Adjustment: Imperial Pike Guards
Imperial Pike Guards were underperforming on the battlefield due to the fact that they couldn’t effectively restrain high-tier cavalry units with relatively low damage. So we made the following adjustments:

1)The advancing of Imperial Pike Guards have damage bonus. They will cause more damage when advancing into relatively low move speed units. Greater speed difference will bring higher damage.
2)The advancing of Imperial Pike Guards now have extra damage to charging units.
3)Health growth for each level was increased by 42 points.

3.Artillery Balance Adjustments
Currently, large artillery (Trebuchet, Battering ram and Siege tower) would receive too high damage from Culverin (higher than eastern Cannon), resulting in attackers couldn’t take advantage of these large artillery in some western maps. So we made the following adjustments:

Decreased the Culverin’s damage dealt to large artillery (Trebuchet, Battering ram and Siege tower), city gate and city wall, similar to the damage of Cannon with same-quality.
(The damage dealt to heroes, units and small artillery will remain unchanged.)

Besides that, added a notification when the artillery being pushing forward. If Warlords click on an artillery that has already been used, there will be a notification icon showing that it is unavailable now.
