New Map
New Conquest Map: Gallic Oppidum

Gaul was an ancient and vast region in Western Europe. The region where Gaul was located had fertile lands, rivers flowing freely and its geographical location was very advantageous. Gauls had small settlements scattered all over this fertile land. In fact, Gauls were part of the Celtics and were capable of amazing fighting skills, they managed to go as far as to capture and plunder Rome, thus becoming Rome’s arch-rivals. The two parties faced each other battle after battle until some Gallic tribes started to make alliances with Rome. These fearless and endless battles between non-allied Gallic tribes and Rome always ended in a bath of blood until Gaul fell in Roman’s hands. Gaul was then annexed as Roman territory.

New Conquest Map: Oasis

With the demise of Carthage, North Africa - which also stood along the Mediterranean Sea - was gradually included into the territory of ancient Rome. In the south of this area was the vast Sahara desert, the southernmost tip of the Roman territory. Only sporadic oases dotted this landscape. It was more than just a rich fertile land, but also the outpost of the ancient Roman frontier, who kept a constant watch over the distance beyond.

New PVE Map
Epic War: Luoyang

At the end of the Eastern Han, Dong Zhuo was violent and perverse ,and warlords everywhere rose up against him. The coalition of the Eighteen Princes entered Luoyang and fought with Dong Zhuo at the Hulao Pass. Although the Hulao Pass hadn't been breached, Dong Zhuo was fearful. He was convinced that Luoyang would fall so he took the emperor and officials and retreated to Chang’an. He set fire to Luoyang in an attempt to turn it into ashes. At the same time, as the coalition vanguard Sun Jian breached the Hulao Pass and entered the flames in Luoyang.

New Siege Map
New Siege Map: Xiapi

Xiapi was an important village in the Han Dynasty. It was a contested spot by the military since ancient times. In the third year of the Jian'an era, Cao Cao and Lv Bu fought there for months. This is known as the Battle of Xiapi. In the face of Lv Bu who was protecting the city, Cao's army dug trenches and held out for a siege but nothing happened for months. They then began to dig ditches and directed the Yishui and Sishui rivers into the city, capturing it. At that point, Lv Bu's forces were completely wiped out and Cao Cao took complete control of Xuzhou, fully able to deal with Yuan Shao.

After the East Han defeated the Northern Xiongnu, all Xianbei fled from the old domains of the Northern Xiongnu. Having absorbed part of the Xiongnu culture, the Xianbei rose up. Similar to the Wuhuan, the Xianbei people lived in settlements and became skillful inhorsemanship and horseback archery; one could say these skills ran in their blood.

Yellow Turban
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, politics were unstable, the country was declining, and the entire country was afflicted by a drought which lead to crop failure. Taxes were not reduced and the desperate poor joined Julu Zhang Jiao's Taiping Gate in droves. During the first year of the Zhongping era, Zhang Jiao led the 360,000 Taipings in raising a rebellion, using "The Han Dynasty will fall and be replaced with the Yellow Turbans, who will auspiciously rule the land" as their slogan. They wore yellow scarves around their heads and their enemies called them the "Yellow Scarves" or the "Moth Bandits". The Yellow Turbans were originally victims of famine, however, some of its members were also part of rich and healthy families. In comparison with other members of the Yellow Turbans, they provided themselves with slightly better equipment and weaponry. Although these members were not many in number, they were the core of every group of Yellow Turbans.

Adjustments
Battle Field Rules
The previous T1-T10 battlefield will be divided into three parts as primary battle field (T1-T4), middle-level battlefield: (T5-T7) and high-level battlefield (T8-T10). Corresponding soldiers will be match made in the battle field of the same level, and their quality will be more balanced.
To match the battlefield division, players can choose the units according to the maps so that they can coordinate with one another in a better way. We hope this change will diversify the units on the battlefield and enrich the battel strategies.
The matchmaking number within each team is adjusted into 6V6.

Changes in Matchmaking Rules
Matchmaking rules for Command Mode have been adjusted. Now, after being successfully matched into a battlefield, players can choose units of corresponding levels.
Please note, if the player does not have corresponding units, he will not be matched into a battlefield of that level.
For example, if the player does not have at least one unit of T8 or above, he cannot choose to be matched in the high-level battlefield.
Players in a team will have a higher chance to be matched with other teams. Those who do not team up will have more chance to be matched with single players.
