Spoiler New Gbg background

[Emberguard]

There is a new chain building which should be a reward for the battlegrounds as well: The Great Elephant.
Including the selection kit and the upgrade kit.

Spoiler: Great Elephant

The main building:

Lvl 1	Lvl 2	Lvl 3	Lvl 4	Lvl 5
Lvl 6	Lvl 7	Lvl 8 - Bazaar	Lvl 8 - Citadel	Lvl 8 - Royalty

The chain buildings (decorations)

Assuming you're correct, what's the logic behind that conclusion? Do the files say GBG or something? Just wondering as my first thought when seeing those images is it visually reminds me of the Mughal Settlement

Yes, the files say battlegrounds. Here is one of the image links:

does that mean state of honour fragments will no longer be awared?

No idea.

I hope it is something that is awarded to the guild that finishes 1st.

There is a new Waterfall Archipelago background for the Guild Battlegrounds.

Spoiler: Background

It consists of 2 separate images in the gamefiles, which I have put together here to form the full background.

There is also 61 images which outlines each separate province. Numbered like this from 0-60

Regarding this new card in CBG, will the sector in the center be accessible only if the 6 surrounding sectors belong to the same Guild before being able to take it and then keep it at all costs ???

It's an image only, so it says nothing about any eventual change to the mechanics. But I don't see it as likely and I very, very much hope not.

yes and it will be the only way to get fragments to the new Elephant buildings: 1 per hour





just kidding

 

[Markus Stormrider]

looks like we're getting GBG season 2 here :O

It looks like a superior league, above diamond. Most likely guilds with 1000 points will be able to access it and play on it.

i'd be fine on that too

 

[SlytherinAttack]

Is it going to be first reward for GvG????????????

No.

 

[JhonnyBn]

This is awesome. More connections, more possibilities to fight

 

[FrejaSP]

Exciting maps, each sector will have 6 sectors around it, except ring 5 sectors that have only 3.
It will provide more opportunities for neighboring sectors with siege camps but also for more attackers of a sector.
Now the question is whether the waterfall map will be an extra map or it will replace the volcano map.

Wow…what a cool idea…making GBG a totally “blind” round showing only colors instead of guild names…until the end of GBG..wouldn’t this just upset whole servers who have “hate” relationships just because of the guild name? Just this one thing would make it difficult for 2 strong alliance guilds to control the whole map because you wouldn’t know who you were fighting against. Or what about making it so different guilds from different worlds were fighting like in GE..that increases the likelihood of not knowing anything about anyone each round.

It would be pretty easy to figure out the powerhouse guilds after just 24 hours, for example in Jaims world only 4 guilds have a real "night crew", every other guild is just a pretender.

Curious to know, what would be the steps to figure out. Myself assuming like, messaging those guild. If the assumption is correct, it is okay. If it's not, how to figure out other than begging (like messaging every guild).

You'd start by talking to your allies - sharing screenshots of the map (on discord) and seeing if there's a match. If there is, RIP the rest of the group, they'll swap away the round and the anonymity helped nothing.

Upon eliminating allies, you'd identify them by how they operate. There's only a few very strong guilds on each server. And there's elements of style to how they operate - do they leave primes or take stuff as fast as possible? do they only really take free stuff or do they take everything? when do they fight fastest?

Allies to be using discord and identified correctly. What an out of box approach to make the alliance.

Okay, then to prevent is bring blindfold with additional change like guilds should be participated like GE which is not on same world server. No one clearly knows which server world top or average guild participated by having blindfold (guild details hidden).

Problem solved!!!

Cross-server would indeed solve a lot of problems. When they released GBG they said they wanted it to be cross-server but the technical hurdles turned out to be too great (there's a lot more information flowing in GBG, and it's more important to be accurate in realtime - GE just grabs a snapshot of the data when you click on the ranking - data that consists merely of 8 percentages and some guild descriptors)
