Exploring the realm of Anadolou in Season V: Legacy of Fire will give warlords treasure troves of rewards, including magnificent Hero Attire and new Emotes. But did you know you can also collect Hero Tokens from the Battle Pass? This special currency can be exchanged in the Seasonal Store for 11 epic new weapon skins to make an arsenal fit for the Symmachean Brotherhood!

• Paramerion Shortsword & Shield:Empyros as a culture is slow to change and assumes whatever came from Empyros is superior to anything from other lands. The paramerion is a rare example of a sword style that was adopted from the Steppe tribes following a string of defeats by those same horsemen. The shield bears the royal lion crest of the Kainurgean dynasty, a consciously ancient design intended to hark back to the glory days of antiquity.
• Rhomphaia Glaive:The rhomphaia is an ancient weapon brought back into fashion by foreign mercenaries employed during the recent civil war. This one is finished in the imperial colours beloved of Empyrean generals.
• Spathion Longsword & Shield: The spathion is double-edged longsword used by infantry and cavalry alike in the king's armies. The sword and shield both are decorated with wings, either the angelic wings commonly found in Empyrean art, or the eagle wings making an oblique reference to the kingdom's origins as the eastern part of the Aquiline Empire.

 
 

• Varangian Poleaxe: The Varangians are an elite unit of axe-toting northmen, mainly outcasts and exiles whose fates have brought them to Reginopolis. They have saved the life the king on numerous occasions, and in battles against the Sicanians and during the first war against Ungverija their ferocity proved the key to victory.
• Menaulion Spear:Empyrean troops whether they are cavalrymen or infantry are trained first and foremost in the use of the spear. This spear is a winged ceremonial piece intended for use from horseback, but perfectly suitable for fighting on foot as well.
• Duocheria Nodachi:Being a major trade hub, possibly the greatest in the world, weapons from the eastern lands are not unknown in Reginopolis. The nodachi is commonly called a 'duocheria' meaning 'two-handed' and held in some esteem by elite soldiers and the nobility of the court alike.

 
 

• Falcon Musket:Firearms are rare in Empyros due to the expense and lack of the necessary expertise. When the kingdom is rich, the king can hire mercenary arquebusiers, and when the kingdom is poor the use of hellfire becomes much more common. Muskets such as this are collector's items, intended possibly for one's personal honour guard or for showing off to visitors.
• Akolouthos' Bow:The rank of 'akolouth' is that of a junior officer in the vigla regiment of palace guards. Accordingly, these officers are expecting to maintain a high degree of personal presentation, a habit the soldiers continue even when in battle.
• Toxon Shortbow:In Empyrean history the army gradually changed from a predominantly infantry-based force into a cavalry-based one over a few centuries. This was driven by the expansion of the kingdom into the plains of Anadolou and on occasion into Ungverija, where most of their foes fought from horseback. The 'toxonae' were horse archers recruited from these territories by the Empyreans, who brought their quick-firing composite shortbows with them.

 
 

• Augustus's Daggers:The overthrow of King Andronikos by the House of Kainurgos has made everyone nervous. King John is not one to suffer fools nor enemies lightly, so the dagger-maker's art is one in high demand in the city of Reginopolis.
• Symmachean Maul:The maul is a rare weapon in Empyros, this particular design is made in the image of a gift presented to King John by Sir Richard Lackland, grandmaster of the Order of the Green Chapel on the same day the Symmachean Brotherhood pledged their service in the case of the king.

These weapon skins won’t give you a gameplay advantage, but you’ll be the envy of the battlefield nonetheless. You can also earn Chalices through the Battle Pass, which can be used to unlock antique versions of classic cosmetics not seen since Season I. Get the Season V Battle Pass from MY.GAMES Market or Steam today to start earning Hero Tokens!

As part of the Season V: Legacy of Fire update, we introduced a number of changes to how Influence is distributed and how the Ruling House in a Territory War is decided upon. 

Previously, Influence was solely calculated based on the type of fief and its level, so that the bigger and more developed the fief, the more Influence it would grant its owner. A level 1 village, for example, generated 150 Influence, while a level 8 town would generate 1,500. 

Influence gained from fiefs hasn’t changed significantly, but with the introduction of Season V, Influence can also be amassed via the control of Field Camps, Outposts and subfiefs:
 

• Field Campsare temporary structures used by a House to provide access to food, artillery, siege equipment and healing. A house can set up numerous camps in a region, but will only receive a small amount of Influence for one of them.
• Outpostsgrant a significant amount of Influence, but only one can be built per region.
• Subfiefsare the collective name for small economic hubs in a region, such as resource sites, trading posts and ports.

 



Field Camps and Outposts cost Prestige to build and along with subfiefs can only be contested during Territory Wars. You can do this by selecting it and clicking ‘Battle’ as you would for regular fiefs. Opposing forces then fight from a single battlefront in 15vs15 Field Battles. If at the end of the battle a camp or outpost changes hands, it is destroyed along with any Influence it gave. In common with fiefs, captured subfiefs will remain intact and Influence is assigned to the victor. 

In order to allow houses to better prioritise their targets, there will be an added 30-minute period of Preparation Time ahead of main Territory Wars events (between 19:30 to 20:00 CEST on EU servers, and 17:30 to 18:00 PST on NA server), during which only Field Camps, Outposts, and subfiefs can be attacked. 

Immediately afterwards - and before Territory War begins - the Ruling House in a region will be decided based on which has the most Influence. Battles for villages, forts and towns can then begin in earnest. At the completion of each, Influence is recalculated and, if the balance of power in the region has changed, a new Ruling House will be assigned. This will continue until all wars in the region are concluded. 

When Territory Wars is over, control of subfiefs (specifically resource nodes) will be assigned to the house that controls its respective fief, regardless of any house that might have captured during the first stage of the event.
 

With the region of Anadolou up for grabs for the first time, the Season V: Legacy of Fire Campaign is bringing some exciting changes to the battlefield!.

• Fiefs across Ungverija and Liangyun are available to conquer throughout the season, while the Borderlands are accessible from October 14.
• Later in the campaign, rather than laying siege to the Conqueror’s City, Houses and Alliances will be fighting to capture the regional capitals Turul Varos (Unverija) and Daicheng (Liangyun), before moving on to take the ultimate prize, Reginopolis!  

We’ll have more details to bring you on Season V: Legacy of Fire in the days and weeks ahead. Stay tuned!

Long ago, there was a king who sought to restore glory to his once-mighty realm. With fire in their hands and war in their minds, his army of knights sowed desolation across a beautiful land, and stoked a fire that rages to this day. Ignite the fight in Season V: Legacy of Fire, a free expansion available now in Conqueror’s Blade!

UNLEASH HELLFIRE WITH TWO NEW UNITS

Two new units can be unlocked via Unit Challenges over the course of Season V. These warriors wield weapons fuelled by hellfire, an incendiary liquid developed by alchemists in the Kingdom of Empyros. With the addition of the Zykalian Militia and Siphonarioi, you’ll have to adapt your battle strategies to attack with and defend against fire!

• 3-Star Zykalian Militia(Available Now): An effective defensive force armed with throwable, incendiary earthenware grenades. Their explosive nature provides a good deterrent to attackers when raining fire from the battlements during siege battles!
• 5-Star Siphonarioi (Available November 9):Empyrean sailors who wield handheld flamethrowers and wear full armour that protects them from the heat. They are widely dreaded, and since they are sworn to guard the secret of hellfire's composition, they will never be taken alive...

PROMOTE UNITS TO THE SYMMCHEAN BROTHERHOOD

Don’t leave your old guard by the wayside! You can promote select existing units to the prestigious ranks of the Symmachean Brotherhood. In their newly-revamped state, they’re even more formidable. Find out how to access them later in the season!

• 4-Star Symmachean Stalwarts (Available October 19):The Brotherhood’s spear infantry, drawn from the veteran ranks of Spear Sergeants. Stalwarts pride themselves on rising to any hardship, and are even more dangerous on the offence than as shield wall or blocking troops.
• 5-Star Symmachean Paladins (Available October 26):Knights from the myriad western orders of chivalry who answered the call of Empyros, promoted from the ranks of Men-at-Arms. A prideful and experienced force, Paladins represent the very flower of piety and chivalry, healing their brothers and allies on the field of battle.
