Improvements to the Trial of Kau Karuak Event 1) We've added a limit to the maximum number of attacks possible against Trial targets for each level. One attack is spent every time you send a new troop to attack the target. Once you have used all your attacks, you cannot send any new troops to attack the target. 2) We've replaced some of the mid-level Karaku warriors. 3) We've added a new cumulative reward in the Trial of Kau Karuak event and modified the original challenge reward for completing the Trial. Apart from the current challenge reward, the event now offers a Crystal reward that Governors can accumulate over time. The higher the challenge level conquered, then the more Crystals earned per hour. *These updates to the Trial of Kau Karuak will only take effect in Season of Conquest Stories that were registered after midnight UTC on July 25. 4. New Legendary Chests! 5. Other Improvements.

Improvements to Immigration In order to maintain balance, we’ve changed some of the rules regarding immigration. Immigration is now divided into 2 different types (excluding using Beginner's Immigration to enter Nascent kingdoms): 1) Same-Season Immigration: The concept of same-region immigration has been merged with same-season immigration. No other rules have changed - when the current kingdom and the destination kingdom are in the same seasons, governors may engage in same-season immigration. 2) Cross-Season Immigration: No rules have been changed. When the current kingdom and the destination kingdom are in different seasons, and when the current kingdom’s server age is older than the destination kingdom, governors may engage in cross-season immigration. When engaging in same-season immigration, the follow conditions still apply: 1) If the destination kingdom is in the Preparation Season: to immigrate, a character’s original kingdom cannot be more than 10 days older than the destination kingdom. 2) If the destination kingdom is in Lost Kingdom Season 1: to immigrate, a character’s current kingdom must be in the same region as the destination kingdom. We have also added a counter for how many players have registered and an immigration countdown timer to the Kingdom Info screen. 3. Lost Kingdom Improvements 1) Lost Kingdom - Desert Conquest Improvements: - Map Changes: Semi-protected Camp Passes have been added to the map. - Lost Kingdom Chronicles Changes: Changed the opening times for certain Passes and Holy Sites. - Crusader Achievements: Changed the difficulty and rewards for certain Crusader Achievements. 2) Adjusted the times that different difficulty levels become available for the Trial of Kau Karuak event in each Story of Season of Conquest. 3) You will now receive a notification message when you use Troop Return Scrolls during Relentless Warriors. 4) Improved the content of the notification message when Season of Conquest ends, providing a detailed explanation of which Lost Kingdom items will be recycled and what compensation will be given. 4. Other optimizations.

We hope you’ll enjoy this new, more fleshed-out system. 1) New Iconic Equipment System For a period after this update goes live, the Iconic equipment system will become available for kingdoms entering Lost Kingdom Season 1 or later. Governors can turn certain equipment into Iconic equipment by using Iconic Crystals and Gold. Iconic equipment provides buffs to troops’ base attributes, determined by which season of Lost Kingdom the kingdom is currently in. 2) New Artisan’s Forge Event The Iconic equipment system is accompanied by the new Artisan’s Forge event. Complete quests to gain rewards, including Iconic Crystals. Iconic Crystals can also be purchased from the Lost Canyon Shop and Season of Conquest Season Shop. 3. Lost Kingdom - Desert Conquest Improvements The Desert Conquest Story has already gone live in some kingdoms. In response to player feedback, we’ve made a number of improvements to Desert Conquest, and with this update, we’ll be making it available in all kingdoms entering Season of Conquest! 1) Desert Conquest Story now available for all kingdoms entering Season of Conquest. 2) Added new buff effects for Level 4 Passes. Troops entering the Sea of Death from a Level 4 Pass will receive huge buffs to March Speed. 3) Increased March Speed of routed troops. 4) Improved map balancing, adjusting the coverage of Holy Sites and Bastions. 5) Reduced difficulty of some Lost Kingdom Chronicles quests. These improvements will take effect in the new Lost Kingdom - Desert Conquest. 4. Event Improvements Champions of Olympia We’ve added a new map and improved rewards. Enjoy the fight! Changes are as follows: 1) The new Echo Canyon (Night) map is now available! Attack the Firethief when he appears in Echo Canyon to grant buffs to your team. 2) Improved rewards: Equipment Materials Choice Chests can now be exchanged up until the Glorious Gold League. Protect The Supplies We’ve designed a new challenge (Armed to the Teeth), adjusted the difficulty level, and increased the Star Level limit from 25 to 30. After reaching 20 stars, you can claim all non-leaderboard rewards. Heart’s Desire The Heart’s Desire event will begin when the Legendary Tavern becomes available. Governors will be able to select their 5 preferred Commanders from a selection, and receive specialized chests containing plentiful custom rewards, which can be unlocked using Sovereign Keys. 5. Other Changes.
Version 1.0.54.1925 January 20221. “Spring Festival” Events The winter will soon be over and the joys of spring upon us. Let’s celebrate the time with our festive series: - Lunar New Year: Complete quests for 7 days to win great rewards! - Lantern City: Collect points to earn rewards for you and your alliance members! - Night Fireworks: Collect and throw Copper Tokens into the Wishing Box for good luck in the “Lantern City” event. - Gifts of the Season: Exchange for a wide variety of prizes, including a new city theme! - Spring Festival Riches: Collect ingredients to prepare for the Spring Festival Feast. - Spring Festival Feast: Prepare food for a heartwarming meal. - Family Gathering: Join a big banquet with fellow alliance members! - Lucky Red Packet: Begin the new year on a high with a delightful Lucky Packet gift! - Protect the Supplies: Deliver the supplies safely to the village. Protect the property of your citizens! - Arms Training: Challenge an Armsmaster Lohar who gets stronger with each battle! How long can you last? See the Event Calendar for a detailed schedule. 2. New “Tempest Clash” Event Now Available Our ambitions stretch far beyond the great ocean. Raging seas will not quell our thirst for victory! And we will draw strength from our mighty sails until the entire world is conquered or explored! 1) In “Tempest Clash”, 10 Governors are split into two teams of 5 to do battle on the high seas. Each team has 1 Supply Ship laden with goods that they must protect. Destroy the other team’s Supply Ship to win! 2) There are 3 types of ships available in the event. Each Governor must choose 1 type to enter the battlefield. Each ship type has its own unique skills that can help you to claim victory! 3) “Tempest Clash” puts every Governor on an equal footing on the battlefield. Any bonuses attached to Governors will be inactive on this battlefield. 4) Governor’s City Hall must be at least Lvl 7 to enter the Tempest Clash battlefield. In order to provide Governors with the best gaming experience, we’ve opened up the high seas for warfare. In the “Tempest Clash” event, battle is entirely different from land-based warfare, with Governors getting frequent opportunities to command warships. Warship skills do not require Rage to activate, testing Governors’ mastery of warships and their observation of the battlefield. Each of the 3 ship types has its own strengths and weaknesses over the other types—team cooperation and mastery of combat is key to victory. 3. New City Building—The Museum 1) After the Season of Conquest has begun, Governors can build a new structure in their cities: the Museum. 2) The Museum has a total of 14 Exhibits, each belonging to a Legendary Commander. Governors can unlock Exhibits using Exhibit Coins and buy Relics using Relic Coins to provide Commanders with powerful buffs. 3. The first batch of Commander Exhibits in the Museum are Cao Cao, Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Æthelflæd, Hannibal Barca, Richard I, Charles Martel, El Cid, Yi Seong-Gye, Mulan, Ragnar Lodbrok, Mehmed II, Frederick I, Julius Caesar, and Charlemagne. During Season of Conquest, Governors from different kingdoms will own different Commanders, resulting in an imbalance of Commander Power among Governors. We have introduced the new Museum system to help Governors to strengthen certain Commanders, allowing them to better face the challenges of Season of Conquest. 4. “The Lost Kingdom: Desert Conquest” Coming Soon 5. Osiris League Grand Finals Improvements 6. Other Changes.

Governors may place bets of their choosing across 4 new categories: “Ark Score Leader”, “Occupation Score Leader”, “Provisions Score Leader” and “Total Kills Leader” to win even more Aurics! Champions of Olympia We’ve taken careful note of governors’ feedback and shortened the length of each match. We’ve also added a brand new map and improved the execution of the “Revive” skill. We hope you’ll find them really exciting! Here’s a breakdown: 1) We’ve released a new map: “Treasure Hill”! 2) We’ve reduced individual match times from 10 to 7 minutes. Similarly, we’ve also shortened revival times, some skill cooldowns, waiting time to surrender and so on. 3) We’ve improved some skills, particularly the “Revive” skill which can now be cast when 3 troops are all routed. 3. Other optimizations 1) We’ve improved the shield trigger mechanism so that troops protected by multiple different shields will now always use the best shield. 2) We’ve improved the mail system with a limit of 1,000 messages that can be permanently archived. (Be sure to pass this on to any governors who otherwise may be in danger of losing important messages!).

Each season of ranked matches lasts for roughly two months, and during this period Governors can compete for higher ranks to win greater rewards. 2) We’ve changed the weekly rewards chest into an activity points chest, which can accumulate activity points from both wins and losses. 3) Weekly rewards not claimed by Governors will be distributed via mail at the end of the weekly event. 4) New AFK penalty mechanisms have been introduced. 5) A new View Profile function has been added, which allows you to view your own stats, other Governors’ stats, and the battle history for Champions of Olympia. 6) A new ranking system has been added, which will give the top 200 ranked Governors extra rewards at the end of the season. 4. Event Improvements 1) A new map of Ceroli Islands and the chieftain’s backstory have been added to the “Ceroli Crisis” event. 2) Chest drops in the events “Ceroli Crisis”, “Ian’s Ballads” and “Golden Kingdom” have been adjusted. 3) Rewards in the “Hunt for History” event have been adjusted, and a wider range of optional “ultimate rewards” will be added to the newly opened event after the update. 4) Rewards in the “Holy Knight’s Treasure” event have been improved. After updating, you can swap equipment from extra rewards in the newly opened event simply by swapping core rewards. 5) Rewards in the “Lost Canyon” exchange shop have been adjusted, and “Peter’s Sickle” fragments have been added to the available rewards. 6) Rewards for the “Karuak Ceremony” event have been adjusted. After defeating a Lvl 30 or 40 Barbarian (Elite) in an individual challenge on “Normal” difficulty or above, the “Brand-new Starlight Sculpture” featured in extra rewards will be replaced with “Barbaric Totem” fragments. 7) Rewards in the “Lohar’s Trial” event have been improved. Advanced equipment fragments from defeating Lohar have been replaced with crystal keys, and the drop rate for “Lohar’s Bone Necklace” fragments has also increased..
Version 1.0.49.2512 August 20211. “Summer Festival” Events

2. “Lost Kingdom” Optimizations
We are continuing to optimize the “Lost Kingdom” in order to offer a richer and smoother experience for Governors.

With the blessing of Odin, they set off from the shores of Scandinavia and pillaged their way to the Mediterranean. Adventurers and conquerors, these nigh-invincible berserkers fight knowing they will one day be met by a Valkyrie, and taken to Valhalla to drink mead with Odin. The chanting of the berserkers’ war songs grows near! The Viking civilization is here! 1) You can change to the new civilization with a Civilization Change item at any time. 2) The epic commander Björn Ironside and the legendary Ragnar Lodbrok have been added to the tavern. 3) You can get the epic commander Björn Ironside and other great rewards in the “Warriors of the Frozen Sea” event! 2. Champions of Olympia, A Brand-New Game Mode, Coming Soon! The ruined halls of Olympia ring with the echoes of its former glory. Statues of epic heroes whose names have been lost with time stand testament to an age long forgotten. It is up to you to rewrite the lost history. Will you fight with strategic wisdom for the Delian League of Athens, or revel in the heat and chaos of battle with the Peloponnesian League of Sparta? Who will the gods favor, and which side will bring honor to their patron deity? The choice is yours. 1) Format: Two teams of five Governors fight for control of Olympia flags, occupying them for a steady stream of points. The team with the most points will be declared the winner. 2) Each Governor can deploy 3 troops, each of which will use units provided by the system. 3) Governors are allowed to equip special skills to gain an edge in battle. 4) Your city hall must be at least level 11 to enter the “Champions of Olympia” battlefield. 3. Other optimizations 1) Optimized the rules of “Ark of Osiris - Silver Battlefield” to only allow alliances ranked 21-100 in the power rankings to participate. 2) A limited-time Daily Special Offer discount event will be online for 2 weeks starting from May 28th.

Troops in the Hall of Heroes will now also be part of the total power calculations..
Version 1.0.45.1612 April 20211. Commander Updates 1) To give all Governors more control over the order in which they level up their commanders’ skills, we have added a skill lock function. At the same time, within two days of the update, we will give all governors a limited number of “Skill Reset” items to ensure everyone can take advantage of this new function. We will be sending out a separate announcement with more specifics about this new function and these skill reset items. Keep an eye on your inbox! 2) We fixed an error for Frederick I’s passive skill “Invasion” at level 4. Once fixed, the description and effects will match. We will be sending out another announcement with more details in the near future. 2. Other Optimizations 1) We have received numerous complaints from Governors about problems such as lag when many troops are on the screen at the same time. As a result, we are adding a new graphics option to the settings menu that should generally improve your gaming experience when a larger number of players are fighting together. 2) We have added an explanation of the chance to forge special talent equipment to the forging system description. Governors should now be able to make better-informed decisions about how to invest their materials. Please note that we have only added a description, and have not made any changes to the chance. 3) Added more commander support skills to “Heroic Anthem” in Lost Kingdom: Season of Conquest. 4) You can now view camp information in the “Eve of the Crusade” event of Lost Kingdom: Season of Conquest. 5) You can now view information on Governors who are not part of your alliance by tapping their troops on the map. 6) A special notice has been added for when your troops are being attacked, but are not fighting back. 7) To allow Governors to enjoy a wide variety of city themes, active limited-time themes will not expire when a new theme is used, and can be used again during its duration. 8) Optimized the calculation method for “Imperium Kingdoms”. Troops in the Hall of Heroes will now be returned at the end of the Season of Conquest regardless of whether or not the Governor is online. 9) To ensure Governors’ basic gathering needs are met, we have added a siege unit zone in addition to the hospital, which will allow a number of siege units to be healed without impacting hospital capacity. 10) Added a new “star characters” feature to the character management screen. Governors can now more conveniently manage their multiple characters. 11) In order to make managing member applications easier, the alliance leader and officers can now go to Settings > Notifications > Approval Reports in their profile and set a minimum power level. When applicants meet the set requirements, they will receive a notification message. 12) Added a number of alliance symbols for Governors to choose from. 13) Optimized the kill records and ranking calculation methods to better take into account the tier of troops killed. 14) The “Deceptive Troops” item’s effect up until now has been too simple, and does not sufficiently confuse opponents. With this in mind, we have changed both the effect and description to add more uncertainty. We hope this item’s new design will provide more avenues for strategy going forward..

2. “Ark of Osiris” Optimizations
In order to ensure Governors can have the battles of their dreams, to make room for more tactics and skill expression, and to bring the fun of Ark of Osiris to even more Governors, we will be making the following adjustments:
1) In order to allow more alliances to participate without making significant changes to the current rules, alliances that are not in the top 20 of their kingdom will now be able to take part in Ark of Osiris, grouped separately with other alliances of similar power levels.

2) Increased the number of teleports earned after the first occupation of an Obelisk from 5 to 8. Teleports can now be used even if troops are not in a building.
3) Removed the “Divine Aid” skill and adjusted the effects of other skills. Adjusted skill effects will be viewable from the Ark of Osiris page after the update.
4) Adjusted the rules for occupying buildings. First occupations will now take 3 minutes, and further occupations will take 2 minutes.
5) Adjusted the rules for gaining Energy Points. Energy Points are now gained faster. Alliances will no longer get a boost to their Energy Points after suffering heavy troop losses, but alliances on the side currently losing will get a boost.
6) Optimized the Ark of Osiris map display.
7) Significantly increased the rate at which severely wounded units are healed.
8) Reduced alliance score earned from caravan visits, but individual score will not be affected.

2. “Lost Kingdom” System Optimizations
In order to help newer Governors experience later-game content as soon as possible, we have quickened the pace of “Lost Kingdom” events. At the same time, equipment-related rewards have been added to help Governors get equipment for their commanders faster.
1) Adjusted the duration of the first two seasons of “Lost Kingdom” to 49 days each.
2) Lowered the requirements of some “Crusader Achievements”, and added equipment-related rewards.
3) Decreased the duration of each stage in “Eve of the Crusade” from three days to two days.
4) Adjusted the reward drops of Kingdom Supply Chests and added more equipment-related rewards.
5) Added equipment material rewards to the possible reward drops from defeating barbarians and marauders.
3. “Lost Kingdom: Season of Conquest” Optimizations
We continue to optimize the Season of Conquest in order to offer a richer experience for Governors who have already been through 3 seasons.
1) Added a new Story: “Strife of the Eight”, featuring a modified version of the classic season 2 map, with some special content added in from the Season of Conquest! Among 8 camps, who will reign supreme? Sign up for the event, and it might be you!

4. Alliance System Optimizations
5. Other Optimizations.
Version 1.0.40.1804 December 20201. DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Crossover Event Coming Soon (Roughly 1 Week After This Update)
A legendary dancer, a god-like warrior, and a plot which plunged all of China into chaos! A limited-time DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 crossover event will begin soon! During this crossover, RoK governors will be able to recruit DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 characters Lu Bu and Diaochan!
1) Dance of Friendship: Complete quests to earn great rewards, including a chance to get the epic commander Diaochan for free!
2) The “Intriguing Dancer” and “Powerful Demon God” bundles are available for a limited time! Buy them to get the new commanders Diaochan and Lu Bu!
2. “Lost Kingdom” System Optimizations
1) Some “Lost Kingdom” rewards have been adjusted. In order to help governors craft better equipment, we have added more equipment-related rewards, and reduced the number of speedups, while preserving the overall value of each reward tier. At the same time, we have changed some of the “Crusader Achievements” progress requirements. These changes will take effect during the next “Lost Kingdom” season, and will not affect any seasons currently in progress.
2) We have discovered that in some older kingdoms, power increases come primarily from training troops, but that the growth potential for the power of each troop is actually quite hindered by troop capacity limits. With this in mind, we have optimized the “Lost Kingdom” matchmaking rules. Now governors with power higher than 150 million will be calculated as 150 million for matchmaking purposes. This change will also be applied to calculating power for Imperium Kingdoms.
3) Added “Bumper Harvest,” a limited-time “Lost Kingdom” super-value resource bundle.
3. “Lost Kingdom - Heroic Anthem” Season Optimizations

3) Optimized the Coalition Honor Points and Camp Honor Points icons to make them more aesthetically pleasing.
4) The name of “Crusader Fortresses” has been changed in some languages to maintain consistent logic.
5) Optimized the logic of support skills. Support skills will now work normally regardless of which commander/troop setup has them equipped, but commanders still cannot equip their own skills as support skills.
4. “Golden Kingdom” Event Optimizations
We discovered that the “Golden Kingdom” is too hard for some governors, and have made the following adjustments to address that:
1) Adjusted the event difficulty to be more reasonable. Guardians’ power will now scale with the length of a kingdom’s history.
2) Adjusted how Healer’s Hut healing works: Now the Healer’s Hut will restore a set amount for all troops.
3) Adjusted the prices of some relics to be more reasonable.
4) Optimized the screen for Reinforcement Camps. While summoning troops, you can now tap on a troop’s portrait to see a breakdown of its unit types.

Version 1.0.40.1626 November 20201. DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 Crossover Event Coming Soon (Roughly 1 Week After This Update)
A legendary dancer, a god-like warrior, and a plot which plunged all of China into chaos! A limited-time DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 crossover event will begin soon! During this crossover, RoK governors will be able to recruit DYNASTY WARRIORS 9 characters Lu Bu and Diaochan!
1) Dance of Friendship: Complete quests to earn great rewards, including a chance to get the epic commander Diaochan for free!
2) The “Intriguing Dancer” and “Powerful Demon God” bundles are available for a limited time! Buy them to get the new commanders Diaochan and Lu Bu!
2. “Lost Kingdom” System Optimizations
1) Some “Lost Kingdom” rewards have been adjusted. In order to help governors craft better equipment, we have added more equipment-related rewards, and reduced the number of speedups, while preserving the overall value of each reward tier. At the same time, we have changed some of the “Crusader Achievements” progress requirements. These changes will take effect during the next “Lost Kingdom” season, and will not affect any seasons currently in progress.
2) We have discovered that in some older kingdoms, power increases come primarily from training troops, but that the growth potential for the power of each troop is actually quite hindered by troop capacity limits. With this in mind, we have optimized the “Lost Kingdom” matchmaking rules. Now governors with power higher than 150 million will be calculated as 150 million for matchmaking purposes. This change will also be applied to calculating power for Imperium Kingdoms.
3) Added “Bumper Harvest,” a limited-time “Lost Kingdom” super-value resource bundle.
3. “Lost Kingdom - Heroic Anthem” Season Optimizations
1) Optimized the models for Crystal Mines, Crystal Research Centers, and Bastions to make them more aesthetically pleasing.
2) Optimized the names of some Crystal Research Center technologies to make them easier to understand.
3) Optimized the Coalition Honor Points and Camp Honor Points icons to make them more aesthetically pleasing.
4) The name of “Crusader Fortresses” has been changed in some languages to maintain consistent logic.
5) Optimized the logic of support skills. Support skills will now work normally regardless of which commander/troop setup has them equipped, but commanders still cannot equip their own skills as support skills.

2. Commander System Optimizations
Since first coming online, the commander system has always been popular with governors. However, we’ve received feedback from some governors that some of the skill descriptions were not clear enough. In order to address this, we’re making the following optimizations:
1) We have made adjustments to skill descriptions to make them clearer, more consistent, and easier to understand.
2) We added key term explanations to skill descriptions. While viewing a skill description, tap on a term to bring up a detailed explanation.
3) We will be buffing Hannibal and Charlemagne to make their power more suitable to their designated roles (exact numbers will be set before the update, at which time another announcement will be made).
3. Other Optimizations.
