Dear Governors,
To provide you with a better gaming experience, we will be optimizing and fixing certain in-game content. We expect to conduct server maintenance on 2026-09-23 07:00-10:00 (UTC+0) (actual timing may vary depending on circumstances). After maintenance is complete, compensation will be sent to your mailbox, troops outside the Citadel will be automatically dismissed, and a 1h Peace Shield will be enabled. To ensure your gaming experience meets expectations, please update your client to version 1.14.102.0 through your respective app store, platform game library, or official website launcher. After updating, please claim your maintenance and update compensation in-game. Thank you for your understanding and support.


Details of the adjustments are as follows:

[New Content]
1. New Mode: Stormlands. A continent swallowed by storms resurfaces, its thunder and gales guarding astonishing treasures and dangers.
- Gameplay: Four Kingdoms will clash on an all-new battlefield, contesting cities, resources, and key structures for ultimate victory. Stormlands consists of a Matchmaking Stage, the Contest Stage, and the Recovery Stage. During the event, governors can build an advantage through daily activity, occupying cities, completing exploration quests tied to the Ancient Storm Monuments, and contesting the Temple of Zeus. Final results are calculated based on overall performance and Storm Points.
- Storm Weapons: Participating in Stormlands lets Governors develop exclusive Storm Weapons, enhancing their command over the Storm Power, reducing the effects of the hostile environment, and gaining extra battle buffs. Governors can obtain related development materials by challenging storm monsters.
- Matchmaking Stage: Once the event begins, Kingdoms will be put into matches, and gameplay information will become available. Governors can preview the event schedule, map regions, alliance buildings, and related rewards ahead of time to prepare for the coming conquest.
- Contest Stage: Once matching is complete, Governors will officially enter the Stormlands and battle for supremacy. The Contest Stage lasts 14 days. During this time, governors can challenge storm monsters and complete Ancient Storm Monument exploration quests to gather resources and develop Storm Weapons, strengthening their command over the Storm Power. Governors can also work with alliance members to occupy and upgrade Storm Altars, and contend for key objectives such as the Storm Strongholds, Advanced Storm Altars, and Temple of Zeus.
- Recovery Stage: After the Contest Stage ends, the Recovery Stage begins. Governors can review the campaigns in this event through the Memoir and recover Lost Units according to the event rules.
2. New Mode: Mounted Hunt. Governors can enter an exclusive hunting map, tracking down and capturing various wild animals across a vast area to chase higher hunting scores.
- Gameplay: During the event, Governors can use daily free attempts or Hunting Tickets to start a challenge. Upon entering, Governors begin at the Starting Point and consume stamina to move freely across the map, searching for and capturing wild animals.
- Hunting Challenge: Animals on the map are distributed across different regions � the deeper you go, the more valuable the animals you may encounter. Once stamina is depleted, your score is calculated based on the total value of animals captured during that challenge.
- Reward Details: Governors can claim daily rewards based on points earned each day, and unlock additional tier rewards by accumulating points over the course of the event. The highest score achieved in a single challenge attempt will also be ranked on the leaderboard.
3. New Feature: Emergency Aid Queue. This feature will gradually roll out once the server enters Stellar Glory. When a governor's city is attacked and Gravely Wounded Units are produced, some of the wounded will be prioritized into the Emergency Aid Queue, allowing them to be healed with less time and fewer resources, helping Governors restore their troop strength more quickly.

[Optimizations]
1. Improved the experience of using Speed-up items. Governors can now directly input the desired quantity of items for consumption.
2. Improved the experience in Behemoth Conquest. Now, during Behemoth Invasion, once your Behemoth enters an enemy Kingdom, Rally Details will be displayed, allowing governors to view enemy rallies against their Behemoth more easily.
3. Improved the rules for the Bandage Camp. Now, troops entering the Bandage Camp must be fully recovered before being deployed again. A daily quota for Priority Healing has also been added, which speeds up healing so troops can return to battle faster.
4. Improved the world map display of the Lv.4 Alchemy Pool in Primordial Conflict, making it more prominent on the map for easier identification.
5. Improved the Friends feature, increasing the maximum number of friends you can add.
6. Improved the display of attribute bonus information in battle reports, adjusting the order in which bonus sources are displayed for a more detailed presentation.

[Fixes]
1. Fixed an issue where certain battle records in the Supplies Bounty rankings did not match the corresponding battles.
2. Fixed an issue where the Placer Gold cost displayed abnormally on the alliance building repair interface in Desolate Desert.
3. Fixed an issue where Kingdom's Hour buffs did not take effect correctly after server merges.
4. Fixed an issue where hero lineup order displayed abnormally on certain interfaces.
