changedNight battles are one of the most effective strategies for gaining the upper hand. Sun Wu believed that “All's Fair in War” was a common tactic: ignite fires and beat drums at night, raise flags and banners during the day, all to confuse the enemy’s sight and hearing. Night combat is perilous; only the most elite Commanders and Troops dare to use the darkness as their weapon. Under the cover of night, Armies can secretly approach the enemy and launch surprise attacks when least expected, dealing a decisive blow to the Enemy Army.
addedNew Gameplay — Day and Night CycleTo bring Lords a more immersive battlefield atmosphere and provide more strategic options, the Order of Kings' new season will feature a "Day-Night Cycle" system. Every 4 hours, day and night will alternate in-game, and the visuals will change accordingly to simulate the real battlefield's day-night environment. In the new season, battlefield time may become a crucial factor in tactical planning. Lords can use the cover of night to move troops or launch Surprise attacks, engaging in even deeper strategic battles!
