Daily ”tactical changes” will be needed for a shot at victory, says Firefly, with ”constant attention” given to in-game politics and conflict. Firefly outlines the 10 point new rule set.
Full details about Domination World mode for servers are available on the official Stronghold Kingdoms wiki. No Glory Rounds or Ages are involved in this mode.
”Certain classic Kingdoms tactics will still be of use but others will be less effective or even impossible with the new rule set. The removal of Interdiction is one example of a gameplay change that could potentially alter how Kingdoms is played on the new world,” said Firefly. ”Suffice to say players will have to rethink how they dominate their opponents across the world’s new map borders, based heavily on the Anglo-Saxon era of history.”
