Strife of the Eight – The New KvK Story

The barbarians control this ancient land, holding it in a state of chaotic anarchy.

Anything could happen in this winner-takes-all war. After all the battles and subterfuge, friendships and betrayals, who will claim this land for themselves?

Special Contents in KvK Strife of the Eight

Crystal Mines	After the season has begun, governors can build a new structure in their cities: crystal mines.
Working the Mines	You can ‘Work’ in the crystal mines to get crystals. Working the mines costs food, wood, stone, and gold.
Upgrade	Upgrading the crystal mine will increase the maximum amount of work which can be ordered. At the same time, completing quests given by commanders will increase the work speed.
Crystals	The crystals which can be mined here are a precious resource. Governors can use them to open up a whole new frontier of research.
Resource Protection	During the season, crystals cannot be plundered by attackers or sent as aid.
Reset	Crystals will be removed once the season is over. Crystal mines, the crystal research center, and any the effects of any research completed therein will be reset and removed.

Camp System

In the “Strife of the Eight” Story, governors and their kingdoms will be grouped into different camps. Each camp must contain at least 1 kingdom. In order to guarantee balanced camps, the power of all kingdoms in each camp will be counted by the system, and these calculations will be used to arrange fair matchmaking!

Fire Camp	Warriors, honoring their ancestors’ covenant, answer the king’s call. Gathering at the flame altar, they swear allegiance to the ancestors and the flame. They shall be a raging, inextinguishable fire.
Earth Camp	Pious warriors rallied to their kings at the earth altar, kissing the sacred land in an oath to restore their ancestors’ honor. Their knowledge of the land allows them to march effortlessly
Wind Camp	Kings lead their warriors toward the sanctum in the eye of the storm. Only those who pass the trials of the winds are worthy allies. For those that do, the blessings of the wind are well worth it
Water Camp	On the orders of their kings, the warriors gathered at the surge altar. Dreaming of huge waves each night, they are as relentless and unending as the sea itself
Camp Greenwood	Resolute kings and warriors have come to the Sanctum of Hope in order to collect the leaves from the surrounding area. Their long-lasting evergreen freshness brings hope of survival to those who gaze upon them, a reminder to look forward to a time of peace.
Camp Daybreak	Kings and warriors preparing for a long campaign will often first journey to the Shrine of Radiance. After several days spent in prayer, the dawn will finally rise on the day to set forth, shrouding them in bright light, an omen of glorious victories to come.
Camp Midnight	On the eve of expeditions, kings and warriors have come to the Sanctum of Courage. Here, the warriors learn to no longer fear the darkness, but to adapt to it. In the name of the shadow, the dark night will be their silent ally.
Camp Thunderbolt	Kings and warriors test their weapons at the Storm Altar. Having passed through thunder and lightning, their weapons and spirits will be mighty and unbreakable.
