Feature Focus: Territory Changes


With Crystal Raiderson the horizon, its time to take a closer look at some of the updates main features. Here, we delve into the changes coming to territories, with Raiding, Control Costs, and more.

Territory Raiding


Crystal Raiders introduces Raw Energy to Albions territories. This is generated by Siphoning Mages and refined into Siphoned Energy over time, but it also brings an opportunity to other guilds, as it can be stolen in Territory Raids:
  • Each day at prime time, a territorys Energy Storage becomes attackable
  • A territory can be raided during prime time if all Siphoning Mages and the Sentry Mage are defeated
  • After a successful Raid, 50% of the Stored Energy is stolen in the form of four Raw Energy Cores, which can be transported back to another guilds territory
  • However, if they dont reach a new territory within 30 minutes, these Raw Energy Cores will revert back to their original territory

With higher frequency than other territory warfare mechanics, Territory Raiding opens new avenues for Albions guilds and encourages action throughout the day:
  • Since each Raid has to happen in a territorys prime time, there is a good chance of a defending force amassing, leading to a battle
  • However, since these are happening every day, across all prime times, they are more likely to have smaller defending forces than territory invasions
  • This brings greater opportunities for impromptu, guerilla-style warfare in the Outlands

Further Territory Changes


Changes have been made to territory prime times, to ensure territory-owning guilds are not under pressure to defend their territories around the clock:
  • Territory prime times have been reduced to one hour
  • Siphoning Mages can now only be attacked during prime time
  • Territory Attacks can now only be scheduled during prime time
Territories now also have Control Costs associated with them:
  • Territories closer to Portal Towns have higher Control Costs
  • Once a Control Cost of 15 has been exceeded by a guild or alliance, the Siphoned Energy Drain applies, and when a Control Cost of 25 is exceeded all individual members face Fame and Silver penalties
  • In this way, large guilds who seek to dominate the outer ring of the Outlands will be punished, and encouraged to compete further in
  • This in turn gives newer and smaller guilds a better chance at finding a foothold in the outer ring

Further changes also address the relative value of territories:
  • The Siphoned Energy and Season Point output of territories has a more pronounced weighting towards the inner circle of the Outlands
  • Territory attack costs increase with a regions quality and tower level
  • Territories begin a season with a certain amount of Stored Energy depending on their region quality level
And the way Stored Energy is paid out has been changed:
  • After each prime time, a percentage of Stored Energy is paid out as Season Points and Siphoned Energy, depending on region and tower level
  • Conquering or giving up a territory no longer reduces Stored Energy
  • There is a new, fourth and final Invasion Day at the end of each season,where all Stored Energy is paid out directly as Season Points
  • Prior Invasion Days no longer pay out Stored Energy

All this will encourage guilds to compete over valuable territories deep in the Outlands, whether through outright control or unexpected Territory Raids, and bring ongoing conflict to Albions Guild Seasons. Were excited to see how this plays out with the start of the next season on January 13, along with the other big changes coming with the update.

  • Albion Online is a sandbox MMORPG set in an open medieval fantasy world. The game features a player-driven economy where nearly every item is player-crafted. Combine armor pieces and weapons suited to your playstyle in a unique, classless "you are what you wear" system. Explore the world, take on other adventurers in thrilling battles, conquer territories, and build a home.



    Craft. Trade. Conquer.
    Dive in now and become part of a living fantasy world where everybody matters.

    Key Features



    From basic tools and clothes to mighty armors and powerful weapons – nearly every item in the game is crafted by players, in player-constructed buildings, from resources gathered by players. Buy, sell, and trade with other players at local marketplaces all across the world of Albion. Craft rare and powerful items, then sell them to the highest bidder and grow your fortune.



    In Albion Online's classless combat system, you are what you wear. The weapons and armor you use define your skills, and switching playstyles is as easy as switching gear. Test out new equipment anytime and change up your weapons, armor, and mounts to suit any situation. Hone your character’s skills by crafting new items, or by simply using your favorite equipment.



    From solo to small-group to large-scale battles, you'll need strategy, tactics, and skill to prevail. Test yourself against other adventurers in high-risk, high-reward full-loot fights. Level your combat specializations, create unique builds with complementary skills, and use every tool at your disposal to emerge victorious.



    Join a guild and carve out your own piece of Albion in massive open-world battles. Claim territories for access to incredible resources, construct guild halls, and conquer entire cities to levy taxes and grow your wealth. Build a Hideout to give your guild a powerful home base deep in dangerous lands. Lead your guild to victory in the Crystal League, and track your progress against other guilds worldwide on a constantly-updated seasonal leaderboard.



    Claim a city plot or private island and make it your own. Grow crops to sell or craft into food, raise your own livestock and mounts, and place crafting stations for other players to use for a fee. Stock your house with custom furniture and trophies, build chests to store your growing collection of loot, and hire laborers to keep everything at your homestead running smoothly.



    From small scouting bands to massive bosses, from dungeons to full-blown faction bases, the inhabitants of Albion’s open world await your challenge. Take on six different factions, each with different enemies that require unique strategies. Partake in solo or group Expeditions, or seek out the ultimate thrill by facing demons and other players alike in Hellgates and Corrupted Dungeons.



    Explore five beautiful biomes, each with its own challenges. Gather valuable raw materials for crafting, or cast a line into Albion's waters to catch rare and valuable fish. Seek out randomly generated solo and group dungeons and slay powerful foes for valuable loot. Enter the mystical Roads of Avalon to discover ever-changing paths between distant zones, face off against long-dormant foes, and build your own Hideout in this vast and ancient land.



    Albion Online is a true cross-platform MMO experience. Whether you prefer Windows, Mac, Linux, or even Android or iOS (mobile currently in beta), one account lets you play on all platforms, with all players on a single shared server. Forge alliances with other players worldwide and take part in massive battles to determine the fate of Albion.
