Recently, Illyriad made three substantial game updates that impact siege warfare in the game.
Terrain Modifiers Update: Cavalry units' attack bonus and spear units' defensive bonus on plains terrain were rebalanced so that siege warfare on plains squares is more balanced. Read about the update here.
Siege Engine Speed Increases: After implementing movement speed increases for mounted and unmounted units, the developers finally rolled out significant movement speed increases for siege engines that allow the siege army to reach its target faster. Read about the update here.
Increased Concurrent Siege Engine Firing: Since the beginning of Illyriad, a maximum of 30 siege engines were permitted fire concurrently in a siege. Now, a maximum of 40 concurrent siege engines firing is possible. Get all of the details on this update here.
We are excited about these changes and believe that they will help to enhance the PvP experience within Illyriad.
