Weekly Update 300: Merry Elephants, Happy New World Event and Tournament Map!
Merry Christmas one more time, Warriors!
The holidays are coming, and we only have one occasion to release an update no. 300! It means this week we have something really special for you:
…and a lot more. Read below for details!
Also, same as the previous year, today is the last day of the current year when tokening was allowed, which means that tomorrow will be the last day to participate in prepared SoW’s! You will be able to token Guild Castles again after the Christmas truce, on Jan. 3rd 2022.
Today's update will be the last regular one for this year. Part of the team will take some time off to spend a while with their families and friends between the Christmas and the New Year. We want to thank you all for accompanying us for another year during our great journey, and for your cheering and support. We wish you Merry Christmas and all the best for the upcoming year!
Also, we have a special surprise Christmas present for you. We thought some of you would like to hop on for a short journey back in time, and take a look on how the game evolved over the years, starting from before the Steam release, when Gloria Victis was still nothing more but a dream of a bunch of ambitious nerds who wanted an MMORPG unlike any other so desperately, they decided to make it on their own (don't do that at home).
Ladies and gentlemen, warriors and crafters, not-so-fresh footmen and cavalry snobs alike - let us present you our first book:
GLORIA VICTIS - PATCH NOTES COMMEMORATIVE BOOK A journal of the (probably) most updated indie game ever
Have fun reading, and as always: see you in battle!
The screenshot’s authors have been awarded. gawi200 and Wintar – check your Ambers!

[h2]Let it be Christmas![/h2]
Save the Christmas and help Santa to find his broken sleigh and retrieve a list of good players, or they may never get their presents!
All around me*
Take part in holiday events, collect and bake Gingerbread to exchange it for unique rewards, including a snowball skin for throwing weapons, an exclusive event weapon – Moonstar, festive Santa sleigh decoration skin, and many more interesting rewards! We hope that you and yours will have a wonderful Christmas and get everything you wish for!

[h2]New world event, and new PVP Tournament map[/h2]
This update introduces a world event unlike any other. Ready yourself for a heroic defence in the no-man’s land, defending a caravan transporting precious wares to save Christmas! Be sure to make the best use of all available war devices, including not only the good old catapult and ballista, but also the Emperor’s Flames.
Tactics and teamwork are crucial here, as you’ll face the mightiest beasts the Southern tribes have at their command. And here’s the trick: contrary to any other activity, you’ll have to cooperate with enemy players!
Having fun*
We all wanted it for so long – a new map for the Valley of Death PVP tournament! Welcome to The Games, an isolated province where warriors from all around the world fight for glory and wealth, even though they pay the highest price. The location varies from dense urban areas to vast open space savannah, but in the end, all roads lead to the Colosseum. Prove yourself!
It's the season*
[h2]Daily Challenges Update[/h2]
– Catching fish with a rod can now be progressed with both active and passive fishing
– The rare animals hunting challenge can now be progressed by hunting all animals above level 50, but hunting the rare beasts give 10x more points
– Looting the storehouses at enemy guild castles will now progress the daily challenge for all ally players around, so it can now be progressed by groups
Love and understanding*
[h2]Quality of Life Improvements[/h2]
– Added a new set of armor skins for the Champion’s medium armor, which comes together with a unique spear skin too – we hope you’ll love it as much as we do!
– Party Finder will now display a suggestion to join a nearby non-public party – before it only suggested joining an open party
– Server-side optimization which dynamically adjusts the priority for calculating the enemies AI when the server tickrate gets lower due to so many players fighting around
[h2]Fixes[/h2]
– Fixed a bug that could prevent the players from swapping items using the hotbar, which was most often experienced by medics
– Fixed a bug causing that workshop could disappear in guild castles after the Bastion efficiency dropped by 2 levels and then risen up by 1 level
fix for using interactive objects when they has been destroyed
– Fix a visual bug causing that the progress bar of gathering resources like stones (using interaction keybind) didn’t get cancelled if another player started gathering the same resource node with a tool
– Fixed a bug in calculations of Saturday State of War deactivation system, in some cases it was giving too many points – still, even after fixing it, the deactivation should be overall easier than in the past
– Fixed the missing “Starving” buff effects values and added different stomach fill color depends of hunger level (green and yellow)
– Fixed “Add friend to party” button in the Social window
– Fixed the Auction House slider's handle which used to disappear when selling a stackable item
– Fixed spawning markers for player which join an already existing party
– Fixed a bug causing that a quest boss Fenrir could be killed without progressing the quest
– Fix a minor exploit allowing to produce money in dice games
