Today’s community-driven update tweaks honour costs, lowers raze requirements and teases upcoming game worlds!Increased opportunities for small Lords to flourish, greater balance in the political landscape and new strategic challenges for veteran warlords. These were our goals with the gameplay changes made during our transition to the newer Era system and today we continue to refine the Era rule set. Implementing your most requested changes surfaced in the official Kingdoms forum and on social media, today’s Era Worlds Update is a direct response to your feedback. Era Worlds. Reduced Rank Required to Raze - Can’t wait for the joy of finally wiping a pesky village from the map? Now you can begin razing as soon as you’re ranked as Earl!

Dec 19, 2019  Concept: At higher and higher rank, more research points are awarded for achieving the next rank. (So far, it appears that each rank gained gives an equal number of research points - three.) It could be that research 'builds' on prior research and at some point achieving the next higher rank provides a 'research advantage.' Feb 16, 2016  Play for Free - Stronghold Kingdoms is free to play, no subscription is required. Build Your Online Stronghold - Crush the invading hordes with impenetrable castle defences and counterattack! Plan the Ultimate Strategy - Build efficient.

By reducing the required rank down from Prince, we are giving players access to a full range of combat options much earlier in their play experience. Increased Honour Costs for Ransacking - Community feedback suggests ransacking on current Era worlds is too powerful to allow for a balanced combat experience. As a result we have adjusted the honour costs required to launch a ransacking attack on fellow players. Reduced Parish Building Costs - A well-developed capital village is the backbone of any flourishing parish, so we have reduced the amount of flags required to construct new guilds and structures. Adjusted Glory Race Goals - Houses will now need to obtain 25% additional Glory to complete a round on EU worlds and double the previous amount to complete a round on Global Conflict and Global Realm words. All other Era worlds’ races remain unchanged.

Battle The Wolf or Go Heretic!Features. Join The Crusade – Build your kill streak by defeating AI Lords and gain bonus Honour. Go Heretic – Feeling evil? Then join The Wolf’s faction, go heretic and attack other players!. New World – The PvE gameplay of ‘Rise of The Wolf’ comes to Europe with new castle designs.Heretic WorldHeretic is our new free PvE expansion for Stronghold Kingdoms. Spirit stones ios.

Designed offer both PvE and PvP players reason to play together in a single game world, Heretic offers you two choices. Either crusade with fellow lords against The Rat, The Snake and other nefarious Stronghold characters or join forces with The Wolf and go heretic! Build up kill streaks as you capture and destroy AI villages or betray your fellow players and unleash total anarchy.Following his raid on the British Isles, The Wolf has come to Europe. The sly collection ps3.

Stronghold Kingdoms: Heretic is a world where your fellow players can betray you in the blink of an eye. Any player above Rank 7 (Bondsman) can turn, so watch your back! For the noble crusader there is the prospect of increased Honour bonuses, an increased Faith Point cap and a spot on the in-game leaderboard, whereas the heretic sees chaos as its own reward.

If you dont play alot then passive honor is the way to go + castle defense from enemy attacks. You have to be very active (2-3hrs at least a day) if you want to rank up fast. The best way is to attack enemy AI and banqueting. I play this world and there is alot of AI to attack especially with the 50% honor range card (25 pts). So forced march and army upgrades will net you alot of honor. It will be slow to start but after playing around 2 weeks you will be able to attack constantly.

For banqueting I just use scouts and buy from the markets, I don't make any goods.
