Castle Sieges have been changed, not globally, but significantly.

Now players don't have to cast a seal on a statue and hope no one stops them from casting it until the end to take it over.

Instead, in the throne room of the castle was installed NPC Defender, which helps the defenders of the castle to repel the attack on the castle and primarily serves as an old statue, which should have been casted.

Now to capture the castle, attackers need to kill the Defender.
After killing the Defender, the Castle will change its owner, partially restore the gates, walls and crystals, as well as throw the faction that previously defended the castle - into the city.

The siege does not end there, it lasts 60 minutes, as before.

The winner of the siege is determined by the expiration of the siege time.

The faction that killed the Defender the last time before the end of the siege becomes the new owner of the castle.

If the Defender was killed by members of the Clan, the Castle will belong to the Clan that dealt the last blow to the Defender.
Warning! If the Castle was captured by a faction, then after the siege is over, an auction for the purchase of the Castle will be available. A special NPC in the game, the title "Siege Auctioneer".

Rewards for taking the castle (you must be in the siege area for at least 5 minutes):

• During participation, all receive a special buff, which increases the amount of mined adena
• 350 for participating in a siege

Damage on the Defender now depends on the number of crystals that are located in the Castle.

• 5 out of 5 crystals alive - no damage to the Defender, attacks are blocked;
• 4 out of 5 crystals alive - no damage to defender, attacks are blocked;
• 3 out of 5 crystals alive - damage to defender began to pass;
• 2 of 5 crystals alive - damage to defender increased by 20%;
• 1 of 5 crystals alive - damage to defender increased by 40%;
• all crystals dead - damage to defender increased by 60%.

Addition to faction balancing system:

If one faction owns two Castles at once, the attacking faction has its damage to Castle guards increased by 50%.
