The Albion Online game presents exciting new features for the guild wars with the "Foundations" update on April 15, 2024. The aim of the update is to further enrich the battles for territories with innovative mechanics and features and to increase the strategic depth of the game.
Fortifications and siege banners
With the new fortification options, guilds can now defend their territories more effectively. By using resources, defensive structures such as walls, gates and guards can be built and upgraded to fend off attackers. The introduction of siege banners offers both attackers and defenders new tactical options. These banners gradually weaken a territory's defenses and open up opportunities for attacks and counterattacks.
Territorial activity chests
The introduction of activity chests rewards guilds for their presence and activity in their territories. These chests collect daily loot that can be plundered by territory owners or attacking guilds during the prime time of the day. The optimization of prime times and the redesign of territory layouts in the Outlands promote dynamic battles and strategic gameplay.
New weapons and spectator mode
The update also introduces three new crystal weapons that expand the player's arsenal and offer new tactical possibilities. Another new feature is the spectator mode, which allows players to watch battles and tournaments without participating themselves. This opens up new ways for content creators and streamers to share their experiences with the community.
Further improvements
Other new features include adjustments to Prime Times, new spells for hammers to keep combat fresh, and various improvements to combat balancing and bug fixes. The revision of the territory layouts and the optimization of tracking improve the overall experience in the game.
