Mortal Online 2 is getting some big overhauls to territory control, expanding opportunities, changing sieges, tailoring benefits and advantages, and much more.
The team has announced a number of overhauls, starting with Territory Control. One big change is that TC is not tied to Keeps in the same way. The current way offers few benefits to Keep control or to expand territory. Even the requirement for guild Keep ownership limited opportunities to just 16 guilds and shut out anyone else.
Now, Myrland will be split into 31 fixed and named regions. What this means is that any guild can try and claim a region through the new Outpost Siege mechanics. Each region will have an Outpost, and regions will also have different benefits that you can take advantage of if you claim them. things like guild-wide buffs, tax collection benefits, and environmental advantages like better mining or fishing or others.
To try and claim a region, you'll have to initiate a Siege and when it begins an hour later, there are three stages: breaking the outer gate, raising the inner gate, and raising the guild flag. In the team's overhauls announcement, you can read a very in-depth description of these processes.
The community has given Star Vault feedback over time about sieges and they acknowledge a number of issues and that they are evaluating potential solutions. We will hear more about these changes later.
Keeps are not being made irrelevant. A Keep will offer benefits within the region it’s located. You might get stronger versions of other region buffs, benefits to increased tax collections, and more. more details on this will also come.
