New features, graphics and a Christmas competition!
Today’s Winter Update adds three new features to Stronghold Kingdoms.
The long-awaited Vacation Mode is here. This option allows you to set your Kingdoms account to “Vacation Mode” for a specific number of days, with a minimum of 3 and maximum of 15 days. During this time no player or enemy AI can attack any one of your villages. This also means that your account becomes inaccessible across all worlds, until Vacation Mode expires. Your villages are essentially locked up and fully protected from attack.
Winter has come to Stronghold Kingdoms! After logging in you will notice a blanket of snow has been thrown over the world map, with areas of heavy snow, festive trees and animated snowfall making their debut in the game. We hope you enjoy the new winter graphics. The effects will run for three weeks, though they can be turned off in the Settings menu.
Later today we will also be giving you access to the 2012 Stronghold Kingdoms Christmas Giveaway! As a thank you to the Kingdoms community, which is now two years old, we are giving away Card Packs and Premium Tokens with a guaranteed prize on Christmas Day. To win all you need to do is login and open a door on the Kingdoms advent calendar. The competition is open to anyone with a Kingdoms account and new prizes will be available every day. Players are allowed two chances to win per day between now and January 1st, when the competition ends.
As always you can check the Official Stronghold Kingdoms player forums for more details:
Merry Christmas!
