Realm Divided Patch 2 - Version 30.020.1 - December 17, 2025
Faction Warfare Changes
Caerleon Attack Changes
When any Faction declares an attack on a lethal Province, Caerleon now also declares an attack on that Province.
When a Faction owns fewer Provinces than the other Factions contesting a Province, its players can now receive an increase to the damage they deal against other Faction players, and a reduction to the damage they receive from them. The size of this buff is determined by the difference between the number Provinces owned by their Faction and the number owned by the largest Faction in that conflict:
