Lords and Ladies of Stormfall!

Hark! Word from Oberon's messengers has arrived!

Following a survey of Lords and Ladies devoted to Darkshine, we have determined that the recent changes to the Battleground system shall be undone.

1. Not so long ago, we announced that 30% of your forces would safely retreat from Battlegrounds if it became clear that they would not emerge victorious. This is no longer the case. Now, even if it is clear that the battle will not end in your favor, your warriors will carry on fighting and sacrifice themselves, taking down as many of Balur’s orcs with them as they can.

This means that should you lose a battle, your entire force will be wiped out. Choose your targets with care, and send units ahead where possible, so that you may send the right army.

2. That being said, the rest of the Battleground mechanics shall remain unchanged. You will continue to receive guaranteed rewards for each Battleground you successfully clear. You will likewise still receive larger payouts on occasion - your winnings are simply distributed over all Battlegrounds you engage. Thus, while you will always receive a payout, some will be larger than others!

Plan your attacks wisely, Lords and Ladies! May Eir's blessing be with you.
