Blood of Steel News

Dear Lords,

Today we will introduce the new content, including the new hero Bathory .

[New Hero Bathory]

Bathory 's army was Polish Winged hussars. She uses a 5-meter-long wooden lance. The unique extra-long lance can cause devastating damage to the enemy's formation and gain an edge against cavalry. However, due to the long lance, after it hits the enemy, it cannot be used again until the cooldown time is reset. During this time, try to avoid confronting the enemy cavalry.

Qestion 1:
Hi. Are there any player versus player tournaments? 1 against 1 2 against 2
From u/Bibou_2_1

Answer:

Thanks for this interesting question. First, yes, Blood of Steel is a competitive game. We already hold national tournaments in China every year with great success, including 5v5 Legion Wars, Hero Arena, and this year we will also add Siege Battles as our top competition modes. Those modes are a great match when it comes to the competitive integrity of our game, and with our custom games, you also have the opportunity to host your own little tournaments! We are already attached to tournaments and have started to support the first player-made NA tournament a few weeks ago. We are also really stoked to introduce official international tournaments like they already held in China in the future.


Qestion 2:
Here's one. Is there a specific game in the past that inspired you to make Blood of Steel? If so, which one?
From u/Jeremy Gool

Answer:

In the early stage of our project called Blood of Steel, the game Mount & Blade gave us very much the inspiration for our creation and the way we want to head and develop this game. We always hoped to keep the gameplay differentiated from Mount & Blade in our full online experience, but at the same time, we also hope to do a subtraction for the hardcore gameplay of Mount & Blade, hoping that more players can accept the simplified gameplay relatively easily. So this one is a really personal and exciting experience and journey for us, and we are glad to share some insights into our pre-release production!


Qestion 3:

• Hi there, is there a chance for Hungarian Black Army led by Pál Kinizsi to be added?
  
• In addition to the generals on the homepage of the game, will there be more generals?
  
• We need samurai heroes , weapon : spike and katana here =)) or only katana
  
• Will you be adding new warriors in the future updates! btw love the game
  

From u/Đức Phú, u/Nguyễn Ngọc Hải, u/Erik Bazsó, u/ItzSol

Answer:

At this point, I want to tell you guys how we currently work in terms of new heroes. At the moment, we aim to release one hero every month. Our development team members propose a bunch of heroes as candidates, and then they will discuss in our team-meetings which hero will officially appear.
But as we know this might be a lot more transparent and hand in hand with our community, we would like to change this pattern. It would be awesome for players around the world to provide us with their heroes in their minds and their abilities and we will choose suitable heroes for their creation and development. We really look into this and try to involve our players as much as possible in our creative process!



Thanks for all of your Questions. I hope i can clarify some things and thank you for playing Blood of Steel!

Dear Lords,

Today we will introduce the new content, including the new hero Bathory and the new map Penglai Port. Some game mode optimization will also be launched soon.

[New Hero Bathory]

Bathory 's army was Polish Winged hussars. She uses a 5-meter-long wooden lance. The unique extra-long lance can cause devastating damage to the enemy's formation and gain an edge against cavalry. However, due to the long lance, after it hits the enemy, it cannot be used again until the cooldown time is reset. During this time, try to avoid confronting the enemy cavalry.

[New Map Penglai Port]

Penglai Port is a brand new stronghold battle map, which supports 5v5 and 7v7. It is divided into two types of terrain: the outer wall and the roadway of the city. The battle is mainly based on three strongholds. The first to obtain the target points or wipe the enemy can win the competition.



[System Optimization]

In subsequent versions, we will adjust some of the existing rules in the game to further optimize your gaming experience.

1. Supply cooldown time is added to the arrow supply point. The rule is: the supply point allows players' heroes and legions to replenish supplies every 60 seconds.

2. In the first stage of the siege battle, the acceleration of A and B point occupation will be removed. The occupation time will be adjusted to 60 seconds.

3. To meet the desires of different players, the World of Mercenary will open Legend Mode. Legend Mode will be more challenging. There are higher requirements for the lineup and bond matching, and the rewards will be more generous.

In addition, we will optimize and increase the speed of acquiring reputation in each zone of World of Mercenary, so that more players can experience more content faster.

4. Marquis of Ranked Legion War will divide into 5. The existing season rank succession rules will also be adjusted.

[Program Optimization]

Finally, we have also optimized the game program to improve support for the 64-bit system. The UI scaling function that was previously revealed will also be officially launched in this version. The resolution can be switched when the game is full screen displayed.
