1. Military clans have claimed their rights to build "Intelligence department" to enable scouting information on any upcoming attacks at any facilities.
2. Officially not authorised, the "Tampering lair" has been massively appearing among military clans to enable tampering a Survilurg attack at any other clan's attackable facility. An agent of the Survilurgs visits the lair to accept tampering orders until 12:00 to launch an extra attack for current day, and after 12:00 for the following day. Tampering an attack requires gold and BG (battle glory). The Survilurg agent will inform your clan about the time of the extra attack. Tampered attacks will be marked with a [*] in the list of battles for facility control.
3. Military clans have designed a new clan assignment, "Warlord", along with the last of the new buildings, the "Commanding post". The Commanding post unlocks the "Military policy" feature which may be managed by the clan Leader, Deputy and Warlord only. Three different policies are available: "All-out war" (Survilurg attacks at any clan may be intercepted), "Absolute peace" (no Surivlurg attacks may be intercepted), and "Custom policy" (only certain military clans, locations or specific facilities may be marked for intercepting by the three clan officials).
The Empire Warlord, Grammith, refused to comment on the sudden outburst of self-proclaimed warlords all over Empire, but it is apparent that the Court refuses to recognise this decentralized situation and still titles him the Warlord of the Empire.
4. Military clans may intercept Survilurg attacks to personally battle the defending clan with an attempt to make it lose control over that facility. Any attacking Survilurg trio may be intercepted (as a 3vs3 combat) as long as the Commanding post has been built and the Military policy allows intercepting that specific attack. Any clan member is able to launch an intercepting attack.
There are two phases of such clan-on-clan warfare.
a) The Interception phase:
- Interception challenges may be posted after, but no later than 20 minutes after a Survilurg attack has been announced.
- The interception combat must be won quickly, before the defending clan has begun to set up defense of their facility. Thus, an intercepting clan will have between 25 and 45 minutes to complete a combat with the Survilurgs.
- Victorious combats will allow the intercepting clan to form a trio for the actual attack at the facility (It is possible to enlist entirely different characters than those who intercepted the Survilurgs).
- No more than seven intercepting challenges, one for each trio, may be posted per Survilurg attack at a facility.
- Each interception challenge costs 1 BG.
- The defending clan will be able to see immediately which clan has successfully intercepted a Survilurg attack.
b) The Onslaught phase:
- The defending clan will have 15 minutes to form defense trios as usual.
- The attacking clan will have 5 extra minutes to fill up the challenge. If the attacking clan fails to join the intercepted challenge, the AI Survilurgs will fill it instead. But if the challenge is filled with at least 1 attacking clan member, the battle will start with the actual number of defenders and attackers.
- Onslaught phase challenges fill up as "Evenly" group combats. Thus, only after each defender has joined the challenge, may one attacker of the same or lower combat level join the challenge across that defender. Characters of up to CL 11 are exempt from the level restrictions.
- The names of defending lords will be concealed for the intercepting clan members. Only combat levels will be visible.
- Facility control (percentage) loss is doubled compared to that of normal battles for control.
- If the facility control is lost, it still goes over to the Survilurgs.
Joining both interception and onslaught challenges require more AP (ammunition points) than normal battles for facility control.
5. The Survilurgs have changed their military activity as well. From now on, the more facilities a clan owns, the more often it will be attacked by the Survilurgs.
6. The list of attacks at facilities fully captured by the Survilurgs will now be concealed.
