Developer’s Note 1.26

An Overhaul of the Battlefield

Wei Light Cavalries

For our major mid-February update, we plan to release a number of game features alongside our new Rome content. We are currently aiming to launch this update next month.The battle field will be divided into three parts: the primary battlefield (T1-T4), intermediate battlefield (T5-T7), and high level battlefield. Soldiers of corresponding levels are matched into the same battlefield, and their qualities will be more balanced. We separate different levels of soldiers according to their skills, positions and numbers. For example, the higher level unit has fewer soldiers than the lower level, but it will be compensated by having elite troops. Even within the same unit, some soldiers are suitable for melee combat while others are good at ranged attack and the rest for disrupting the formation of the enemy. Soldiers belonging to the primary battlefield will only be matched with counterparts of the same battlefield. In addition, we have also optimized the matchmaking between lower level and higher level units.We have also separated the soldiers’ EXP into primary, intermediate and high levels. If you want to level up to T7, you can use units of either T5 or T6 during battle to earn EXP, instead of leveling up using only T6.To compliment this new divided battlefield, we plan to add a new function to allow players to choose soldiers according to the map, so that they can cooperate with teammates before the battle begins. We hope this change will diversify the units present on any given battlefield and provide an additional layer to tactical play.Matchmaking has also been optimized to ensure that the players in a team or by themselves can find opponents of corresponding levels.Wei Mounted Archers are a fast light cavalry unit, well suited to harassing the enemy but offset by their weak power in melee combat. They choose the bow as their main weapon and combine this with a one-handed blade/shield. The armors they use have a range of materials such as cloth, iron and leather. Wei Mounted Archers utilize a range of protective materials including cloth and leather, while their horses are clad in top class iron armor.Stay tuned for our next Developer Note, where we’ll talk more about the new Epic War, Siege Mode and the redesigned User Interface.
