Improvements to faction applications and reports also featured

We all know and love the ability to save castle design templates in Stronghold Kingdoms, it means in a few clicks you can rebuild your stronghold and get back to razing your enemies!

We have now adapted the template system for use when launching attacks, giving you the ability to set up and save up to five formations. Attack formations, a player suggestion unearthed in the Stronghold Kingdoms forums, allow you to set up troops layouts for use when attacking AI opponents and other players. So if you have a specific set-up for taking down The Wolf or ridding your Parish of those pesky wolf lairs you can now store it for later use.

Also featured in the update are two additions to the factions system. Firstly we have added the ability to apply directly to join a faction, without having to wait for an invitation or ask for one by mail. The faction general and officers can approve or decline faction applications from the officers tab on the faction screen. The invites screen has also been split into Invites and Applications. Secondly players will now receive a report when they are dismissed from their faction, indicating who they were dismissed by.

Several other small additions to the game have also been made, most to do with increasing feedback and functionality for both new and established players. A full list of Patch Notes can be found here.

We hope you enjoy the new features!

As a reminder World 8 will also launch at 2:00 PM Game Time.
