Update 1.1.00: The Song of Troy

--------------------------------

1. A brand-new Season of Conquest story: The Song of Troy! Join the Pioneer Test for this year's main story!

Several promotional events will be held before registration for the story begins:

1) Epic Cycle: Lead the Greek coalition in a campaign across the Aegean Sea.

2) First Strike: Harness the power of a brand-new Legendary Commander!

3) Storming the Seas: Prove that you are a true hero on the high seas!

4) Alliance Quiz: Who is the smartest governor?

5) Troy: Journey Through the Ages: Embark on a journey through history and uncover the secrets of Troy.

Throughout the story, you will experience a series of new mechanics:

1) Temple of the Gods: Choose a Greek god to receive their blessing. The Patron you choose will grant you unique buffs and special skills.

2) Trojan Horse: After your camp captures a Flank Fort, it will begin building a Trojan Horse. Trojan Horses can be assigned to alliances within your camp. A Trojan Horse can move to any accessible location in the Lost Kingdom, except the Dark Altar, and be transformed into a Horse Fortress, except in the Imperial Land. The territory of a Horse Fortress will count as valid alliance territory. While a Horse Fortress is under construction, it functions as a "temporary" alliance territory. Members of your coalition can teleport into its territory, but their cities will not be protected from attacks.

3) Olympus Arena: As the Chronicle progresses, the Olympus Arena will open periodically. During duels, you can choose a side to fight for and dispatch troops to the arena. Your dispatched troops will be controlled by the computer and automatically battle other armies in one-on-one matches.

4) Exclusive Legendary Artifacts: As the Chronicle progresses, you will unlock exclusive legendary artifacts for Achilles and Hector. Once equipped, the effects of their skills will apply to all troop types.

Two new Legendary Commanders, Achilles and Hector, will be introduced alongside the main story. When The Song of Troy Lost Kingdom begins, the following events will become available:

1) Treasures of Troy: Open chests to recruit Hector.

2) Son of Peleus: Purchase bundles to unlock rewards and recruit Achilles.

3) Will to Mastery: Exchange Universal Commander Sculptures for sculptures of specific commanders to unlock valuable rewards!

*These events will only be available in kingdoms that are at least 21 days old. Specific rules and rewards may vary from season to season.
