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!
π 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.

New Conquest Season: Elite Units & Coalition Technology
π₯ Elite Units – Stronger Troops
A new type of unit is introduced: Elite Units, a more powerful version of existing troops.
π 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.
π₯ Coalition Technology Tree
A brand-new mechanic that allows alliances to develop together rather than relying solely on individual progress.
π Benefits:
-
Both heavy spenders and free-to-play players can benefit from coalition-wide buffs.
-
Technology upgrades provide combat advantages in KVK.
π― 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
π₯ Arena Holy Sites
A new system allows alliances to capture and upgrade Holy Sites to gain powerful buffs.
π 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.
π Additional Features:
-
New map featuring six factions competing for dominance.
π₯ Lost Kingdom Optimization
-
Reduced Bastion Quest refresh time from 10 minutes to 5 minutes.

π Potential Issues:
-
Could be abused for bragging, trolling, or spamming.

Limited practical value, unless strictly moderated.
