Throne and Liberty has come to bring the “Massively” back to the MMORPG genre. One of the key contents for this endeavor has now finally received a date from Amazon Games.
What kind of content is it and when will it start? On November 17, 2024, castle sieges will take place for the first time on the western servers of Throne and Liberty. This was announced by publisher Amazon Games on playthroneandliberty.com.
When the siege begins, your guild has 45 minutes to overcome the defenders of the castle and achieve victory. As attackers, you must storm the castle, break through the fortified gates, and conquer the throne room.
The defenders, who are transported into the castle at the beginning of the battle, must hold their ground and use every available resource to repel all attackers. If the throne is still contested when time runs out, a 3-minute extension will be invoked, depending on the outcome of the battle.
From the Korean servers, we already know what happens during castle sieges:
The Strategy for Victory
What nuances play a role in securing victory? By occupying strategic positions such as siege ruins, you gain access to teleportation and resurrection points and may summon powerful siege golems as the attacking guild.
Each golem – whether it’s a stonebreaker, battle carrier, gate hammer, or jump attacker – brings unique skills to the battlefield, like transporting players or destroying castle walls.
If you, as attackers, have overcome the first wall, you must navigate through the complicated layout of the castle. During this, you can use the sewers for surprise ambushes or leverage gate levers to control access points.
The plunder and resurrection stones scattered across the battlefield add another layer of strategy, allowing for the stealing of resources or securing positions. There are a total of five plunder stones. When these are in the attackers’ hands, Sollant and Luzent will chime out of the castle chamber into your account.
What about the tax transport event? Since all defenders of the castle have been elected, the ruling guild can initiate the tax transport event for their server.
- Ruling guilds can start a tax transport between 2:00 PM and 1:00 AM (local server time). To see when the tax transport event takes place, open your map and check under “Daily” for the schedule.
Tax transport is a guild event where the ruling guild must defend a tax caravan from their territory. If the ruling guild successfully brings their wealth from Vienta to the castle Rockwatch, they will receive a large bounty from Luzent and Sollant.
However, if attackers stop the delivery, the rewards will be distributed to all participants outside the alliance of the initial defenders.
Every tax transport begins with the ruling guild appointing a member as the tax transport golem. Attacking guilds must destroy the Titan’s seal stone. Using barriers, bombers, Archeum knights, and the debuffs from the chaos golem, they can engage against the golem.
