How KvK has changed for young servers: schedule chronicles, pass midfield and honors system
The autumn update Dreams of Phantasma seriously reshaped the early seasons of KvK. Players from the first seasons received a fixed schedule of chronicle chapters, a midfield of strategic passages and a separate honors system - preparation for the Lost Kingdom became clearer and more predictable. Let's look at the main changes for young servers.
Scheduled Chronicles
Chronicle chapters are now unlocked not at random times, but according to a fixed schedule - on Fridays and Saturdays at 12:00. Players have long asked for key progress milestones to be tied to weekends, and the developers have complied: alliances can plan mass appearances on the map in advance.
Midfield passing
In the second season, the level 4 passage received the status of semi-protected: only alliances of the “home” kingdom of the corresponding external province can attack it - the governors of foreign kingdoms will not be able to either storm the passage or pass through foreign external provinces. In the third season, in the “King of All Britain” scenario, similar protection applies to the level 4 passage, while the level 8 passage opens.
Honors system
A new honors system has been added to the first and second seasons: points are awarded for battles with the governors of other kingdoms, and in the third season - with the governors of other camps. In parallel, the “On the Eve of the Crusade” event now starts simultaneously with the Lost Kingdom, and not as a separate preparatory phase: progress occurs in both systems at once. The choice of starting province in the third season has been removed - distribution among camps occurs automatically based on camp enhancements, which depend on the amount of points and rating in the “On the Eve of the Crusade” event.
"Glorious past" and acceleration
The second stage of the Glorious Past now requires spending boosts: for the amount spent, players will receive a chest of Crusader resources and accelerated construction of the Crusader fort. The change affects only kingdoms that, after the update, are included in the preparation of the first season or in the matchmaking of the second or third - for them, spending accelerations in preparation for KvK becomes part of the standard progression route.
Overall, the kingdoms of the early seasons get a smoother start: less randomness in opening the map, clear motivation for battles, and a predictable schedule for key milestones. If your server is just entering the big league, it’s time to rebuild your preparation plan for the new rules.
