Sandbox Interactive has publicized the release of the latest significant update for Albion Online. The update, Foundations, introduces a handy feature named Fortifications for territory defense.
Defenders can build and enhance these resources with fortified walls and gates. Higher-tier Fortifications are harder to breach, providing defenders extra time to rally their forces.
Territory Guards will also undergo a revamp and can be upgraded to gain new skills.
Sandbox further revealed how Fortifications could affect gameplay:
– Fortification upgrades necessitate stone, stimulating the Albion stone economy;
– Defenders must make strategic calls when improving Fortifications;
– Upgrading a complete Fortification all at once is not an option;
– Following a successful invasion or Guild Season end, defenses will reset;
– These decisions will shape the attacking tactics and foster diverse invasions and territory fights;
– Future expansions will provide more options for both attackers and defenders.
Here’s the trailer for Fortifications:
