NEWS: New KVK map is coming to Infinity Kingdom!

Player Guide: Exciting Updates in the Legion of Frostborne Battlemap

I’m thrilled to share some exciting news about the upcoming changes to the Legion of Frostborne battlemap that are set to breathe new life into our gameplay. With the aim of making matches more balanced and engaging, the developers have introduced a new map designed for four servers, tailored to ensure a more equal footing among participants. This adjustment is especially welcoming for servers that have struggled against more powerful adversaries.

Enhanced Matchmaking and Strategic Gameplay:

The new map reduces the number of competing servers from eight to four, focusing on creating matchups between servers of similar strength. This change promises to deliver a more strategic and fair competition, moving away from the previous mismatches that often led to one-sided battles.

This strategic shift is expected to revitalize interest and participation in the mode, offering every player a fair shot at victory.

Innovative Features and Settlement Methods:

Gtarcade’s latest update reveals that along with the new map, there will be fresh event features and innovative settlement methods. I have very high hopes for this, and I hope they have drawn inspiration from successful mechanics in other games, such as the provision of forts that offer defensive bonuses and strategic advantages, Infinity Kingdom’s new format could include similar structures which would provide valuable fortifications that give lower powered servers a chance to defend their territory. These additions I am sure aim to give strategically minded players and smaller alliances a tangible edge on the battlefield, and I hope this will be enhancing the overall tactical depth of engagements.

I have huge hopes for this new KvK map and especially for the addition of new buildings (hopefully). I could see castle forts fighting from walls with advantage, I can see new tower constructs giving high power combat buffs in specific area radius, I can see new main city objectives requiring specific areas of the map occupied, giving enemies a chance to backstab large servers with clever play. There are a ton of ways they can do this, and i’m super excited to see what we got coming in for this new map!

It may be that I have overly high hopes for the “new settlement methods” and hints at new structures being added, but what is for certian is, that there will be a range of new buffs available to be used strategically (hopefully) in the battles:

Official stuff from the Developers’ Desk:

During a recent Round Table Discussion involving Infinity Kingdom’s developers and player representatives, several exciting developments were unveiled. Read the official news update from the Round Table Discussions here. Main takeaways:

• Dynamic Gameplay Enhancements: The team is introducing activities during traditionally passive phases of the game, ensuring there’s always something engaging to do. Adjustments to event timings and durations are also on the cards to keep the gameplay aligned with players’ interests and seasonal themes.
• Revamped KVK Experience: A major overhaul of the Kingdom vs. Kingdom (KVK) system is underway, promising a more lively and balanced competitive scene. This includes new game mechanics, reward systems, and a focus on increasing participation through better balance and enriched gameplay.
• Four Factions System: In the new KVK format, four factions will emerge, each representing different regional alliances. This system encourages not only conflict and mergers but also fosters a community within each faction, paving the way for more structured and cooperative gameplay.

• Better Matchmaking Balance: With the changes into a four server map, the update on Facebook tells us that they will be changing the matchmaking mechanics too. This is a big deal for many players, since neither huge servers nor small server currently enjoy their season being over and done in less than 24 hours due to too huge power differences. This promises a more engaging and enjoyable experiance.

• Federation System: Alliances within the same faction can now form Federations, allowing for coordinated attacks, defense strategies, and profit-sharing from held cities. This system underscores the importance of alliance cooperation and strategic planning in securing victory.

• Adaptive Event Structure: New events will be introduced at different stages of the battle, offering temporary buffs and opening up lucrative resource sites to help players recover and strengthen their positions rapidly.

Looking Ahead:

As we eagerly await the roll-out of these changes in June, it’s clear that the landscape of Legion of Frostborne is set for a significant transformation. These updates not only promise to make the game more inclusive and balanced but also aim to make each battle a truly strategic and rewarding experience.

Stay tuned to this space as we continue to provide updates and detailed guides on how to navigate and master the new systems. Whether you’re a peaceful lord or a battle-hungry warrior, the revamped Legion of Frostborne is gearing up to offer something exciting for everyone. Let’s prepare to embrace these changes and rekindle our strategies in the thrilling frost-covered battlegrounds!
