Gather your forces, commanders.

A new trial awaits in the scorching sands.

The Golden Kingdom rises from ancient dunes,

a land of buried pyramids and forgotten pharaohs.

Beneath its beauty sleeps a timeless curse,

where days burn and nights bring a piercing cold.

Giant worms stir beneath the surface,

and legions of mummies await their call.

Noah, the Desert Overlord, has seized power.

He commands the Monument of the Dead,

rousing the slumbering armies of sand.

Storms choke the skies, oases wither,

and hope itself seems to drain away.

Yet, a spark remains.

Scarlett’s courage has granted us a weapon:

the power to summon Protectors.

These guardians are our shield and spear

against the advancing tide of undeath.

Our mission is clear:

lead them, break the curse,

and restore life to this withered realm.

But the desert is a crowded battlefield.

Rival commanders from distant warzones

hunger for the same treasures and glory.

Vigilance is as vital as valor.

New horizons open with this season.

The level cap ascends to 100,

unlocking fresh skills and strategies.

Novel troops, structures,

and desert-themed tactics will debut.

The war drums echo across the sea of flame.

Your legend is unwritten.

Will you answer the call?

Season 3 is now live on your account.

Prepare for the arrival of the Golden Kingdom.

A vast desert map awaits your exploration.

New resources like Mithril and Sacred Water must be secured.

Powerful Protectors will rise to defend the realm.

Forge new alliance strategies to claim ultimate victory.

Beyond seas and endless dunes, a long-buried empire stirs awake.

Noah, broken but not finished, rebuilt his forces and crossed into the Golden Kingdom.

He discovered the sealed Monument of the Dead inside the great pyramid — an old engine of conquest that can raise unstoppable Protectors.

Once freed, those guardians churned the sands into violent storms and consumed much of the realm.

Scarlett, tracking Noah’s trail, managed a bold interception and stole the monument at a pivotal moment.

Her theft didn’t nullify Noah’s plan, but it gave allied forces the ability to call Protectors of their own.

The clash for control of the Golden Kingdom is now underway.

Season mechanics to remember:

• Season buildings, including temporary barracks and shrines, will be removed when the season ends.
• Seasonal resources such as Mithril and Sacred Water are temporary and disappear at season close.
• Summoned Protectors exist only for the duration of the season.

Practical strategies:

• Prioritize unlocking season specializations in your chosen profession to maximize efficiency.
• Coordinate with your alliance to hold supply points that generate Mithril and Sacred Water.
• Rotate Protectors to front-line zones to suppress Noah’s awakened guardians and sandstorm effects.
• Lone commanders roaming the desert are prime targets for sandworms and roaming enemy patrols—travel in groups.
• Assign scouts to detect sandworm activity and reveal ambushes early.

Alliance play is essential:

• Use the Alliance Center as a staging point and safe haven during sandstorms.
• Share Protectors and resources across members to secure key objectives and shrines.
• Plan coordinated strikes on Noah’s forces and reclaim strongholds before season reset.

Prepare supplies, coordinate roles, and move as one — the Golden Kingdom’s outcome will be decided by alliances who plan ahead.

Season 2 and Season 3 share a lot of familiar mechanics, but contrasting them by topic helps teams adjust faster.

Comparison overview:

Map & Environment — Season 3 introduces the Golden Kingdom’s desert, bringing terrain hazards (sandstorms, slower movement) that change travel and positioning compared with Season 2’s greener arenas.

Resource Systems — Mithril remains central, but Season 3 alters node placement and rarity; Sacred Water appears as a strategic, contested resource that affects healing and sustain.

Protectors & Units — New Protector types and rebalanced abilities in Season 3 shift frontline roles and counterplay compared with Season 2’s roster.

Alliance Mechanics — Season 3 emphasizes coordinated defense of resource points and shared objectives, making alliances more strategic and communication-dependent.

The map has been reshaped into three core structures: urban cities, excavation strongholds, and trading posts.

Capturing a city or an excavation stronghold for the first time grants a one-time reward to the victor.

Holdings of excavation strongholds generate a steady stream of mithril every hour for the controlling alliance.

Within your alliance hub you can build and upgrade a mithril plant to boost collective production.

Seasonal and weekly passes remain the fastest way to accelerate progress, offering the most substantial bonuses.

Scattered across the desert are hidden vaults — unlocking these treasures can yield valuable loot and advantages in the campaign.

You and your alliance begin this season adrift,

cast to the server's barren edge.

Though united in your hive, you hold no city to call your own;

every stronghold must be seized anew under a changed sun.

The old terrors have been reborn in ancient sands—

Doom Elites now rise as Egyptian monstrosities.

To survive, your forces must evolve;

common zombies now demand a formidable resistance to the blight they carry.

The battlefield is structured as a 13 by 13 grid of equal squares.

Each individual tile measures 75 by 75 units in dimension.

A player's central stronghold occupies a 3 by 3 section within this larger layout.
