Introduction to the Update

Rise of Kingdoms has just announced Update 91 - "Moon and Star", bringing groundbreaking changes that will redefine the game! This update introduces a brand-new event, elite units, coalition technology, and major improvements to Lost Kingdom, Arc of Osiris, and more. Let's dive deep into the details!

Ramadan Event – Free Legendary Commander!

For the first time in Rise of Kingdoms, players can obtain a free Legendary Commander through the Ramadan event!

📌 Event Details:

• Log in daily to claim exclusive rewards.

• Complete missions to collect Star Candles and unlock special items.

• Accumulate enough points to redeem a free Legendary Commander.

• Obtain unique Ramadan-themed decorations and name plaques.

🎁 Free Legendary Commander: Normally, it takes about 5 years to fully unlock a commander from golden keys. This event speeds up the process significantly!

New Conquest Season: Elite Units & Coalition Technology

🔥 Elite Units – Stronger Troops
A new type of unit is introduced: Elite Units, a more powerful version of existing troops.

📌 How It Works:

• As you progress in Lost Kingdom Chronicles, you can convert standard units into Elite Units.

• These units come with active skills, similar to commander abilities.

🔥 Coalition Technology Tree
A brand-new mechanic that allows alliances to develop together rather than relying solely on individual progress.

📌 Benefits:

• Both heavy spenders and free-to-play players can benefit from coalition-wide buffs.

• Technology upgrades provide combat advantages in KVK.

🎯 This may bring Rise of Kingdoms closer to Call of Dragons' artifact system, where units can activate special abilities in battle.

New Gameplay Mode: Arena Holy Sites & Strategic Maps

💥 Arena Holy Sites
A new system allows alliances to capture and upgrade Holy Sites to gain powerful buffs.

📌 How It Works:

• When an alliance captures an Arena, its occupation level increases.

• Higher occupation levels grant stronger buffs.

• Even if the alliance loses control, the buff persists for a certain period.

📌 Additional Features:

• New map featuring six factions competing for dominance.

🔥 Lost Kingdom Optimization

• Reduced Bastion Quest refresh time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.

• Resource points will no longer spawn in Kingsland before the opening phase, making flagging strategies easier.

Arc of Osiris Improvements & Gameplay Optimizations

📌 Changes in Arc of Osiris:

• New battlefield skills (Inferno, Time Warp, Sun Sailor, etc.).

• Adjusted scoring system, rewarding top-performing players on losing teams.

• Improved AI logic for marching troops, making them harder to bait.

📌 Other Optimizations:

• Auto-cast feature for skills in Realm of Mystique, allowing AFK players to continue contributing.

• Better resource search algorithm, prioritizing unoccupied resource points.

Quality of Life Improvements & System Changes

🔥 User Interface & Gameplay Enhancements:

• Simplified commander skill descriptions for easier reading.

• Short video previews for unrecruited commanders.

• Automated title reservation system for Kingdom Titles.

📌 Additional Changes:

• Conversion Stones for Armament Transformation.

• Player Progress Graph to track individual development.

• Improved Remastered Map, making obstructed objects more visible.

🔥 Increased alliance member limit to 200 players.

Controversial Change: Lost Kingdom Bugle

A new feature allows players to pin messages at the top of the chat in Kingdom & Lost Kingdom channels.

📌 Potential Issues:

• Could be abused for bragging, trolling, or spamming.

• Limited practical value, unless strictly moderated.

⛔ This has been one of the most criticized additions in the update. Will Lilith revise it in future patches?
