[S2 Preview #2] Myth of Empires: Throne Creature System Upgrade

As Season 2 approaches, development for upcoming content is progressing rapidly. In a cold-weapon sandbox battlefield, the growth of a Guild depends not only on warfare, but also on the support of a massive logistics system. The efficiency of resource gathering often directly determines how long a frontline can sustain combat operations.

To further reduce daily operational burden and improve resource acquisition efficiency, this installment of the “S2 Preview” series introduces a major functional upgrade for two battlefield beasts — Elephants and Rhinos will officially join the game’s resource gathering system.

I. Giant Beast Transformation: From War Units to “Mobile Resource Gatherer”

In the current version, Elephants and Rhinos primarily serve combat and siege roles when equipped with their dedicated platforms.

In Season 2, however, they will receive expanded functionality by gaining resource gathering abilities, becoming an important part of each Guild’s production and logistics system.

Elephants: Efficient Wood Resource Gatherer

When attacking with the left mouse button, Elephants will be able to efficiently gather tree-based resources directly.

• Gatherable Resources: Various wood resources / Resin / Bark

• Core Role: Primary lumber harvesting unit

With their enormous size and extremely high carrying capacity, Elephants may become the optimal solution for large-scale wood collection. Whether constructing defenses or mass-producing siege equipment, riding an Elephant into the forest will enable highly efficient “clear-cutting” style harvesting while significantly reducing operational workload.

Rhinos: Mineral Resource Demolition Specialist

Rhinos will gain powerful mineral destruction and gathering abilities, becoming the core workforce for mining operations.

• Gatherable Resources Various stone resources / Brimstone / Saltpeter / Salt / Clay / Kaolin Clay / Realgar

• Core Role: Primary mining and mineral harvesting unit

As warfare scales increase during the mid and late stages of Season 2, demand for ammunition and advanced construction materials will rise dramatically. Thanks to their high carrying capacity and efficient gathering abilities, Rhinos will allow Guilds to rapidly clear mining zones and recover resources, significantly improving overall logistics efficiency.

II. Breeding & Evolution: More Than Just War Beasts

With the addition of gathering abilities, the breeding and progression systems for Elephants and Rhinos will also gain new strategic importance.

In Season 2, their development will no longer revolve solely around combat attributes, but will also directly affect production efficiency:

• Higher-quality Elephants → Increased wood gathering efficiency

• Higher-quality Rhinos → Increased mineral gathering efficiency

This means giant beast breeding will no longer be purely about combat stats. Guild logistics systems will also benefit from cultivating higher-quality creatures, creating meaningful differences in resource production and influencing the pace of seasonal development.

The functional upgrades for Elephants and Rhinos are only one part of the broader creature system adjustments planned for Season 2. More creatures will receive expanded roles and gameplay redesigns in future updates.

(Note: The above content is still under development and testing. Actual in-game implementation may differ in the final release version.)
