Conqueror of the World Season Adjustment Preview

2023/11/13

Greetings, mighty Lords!

The Conqueror of the World season has been active for over three years. In this season, Lords can compete against various vassals and allied forces in the history, coming together from all walks of life to vie for Luoyang.

 

 

In the past sessions of the "Conqueror of the World" season, you Lords have cultivated your Heroes in the context of Legends Secession and used brand new Hero Features to confront powerful Season Vassals. You have also strengthened the Faction Strength of your own Allied Forces to compete with Factions of other Allied Forces, eventually either achieving Secession in a region or Conquest of the entire world. However, we have noticed that the initial army-raising areas for Factions of Allied Forces in this season vary greatly, and some Factions have certain geographic disadvantages. In addition, the applicability of some Hero Features in the season are gradually declining with the changes on the battlefield.

To make the "Conqueror of the World" season a better experience for all Lords, we will adjust the geopolitical balance of the Factions in the season, update the Hero Feature products in the Season Marketplace, as well as bring in brand new Minister Features, so that all Lords can enjoy more diverse content for the season.

Details for this optimization are as follows:

 

   Faction Layout Adjustment

In order to expand decision-making possibilities and allow Lords to balance the advantages and disadvantages of the geopolitical situation among the states, this update will remove the default army-raising commanderies of some Factions in Resource States and make every Faction border their direct Resource States.

The adjustment details of the distribution of Forces in specific Factions are as follows:
