Throne and Liberty has come to bring the massively back to the MMORPG genre. One of the most important pieces of content for this project has now finally been given a date by Amazon Games.
What is this content and when does it start? Castle sieges will occur for the first time on the western servers of Throne and Liberty on November 17, 2024. Publisher Amazon Games has now announced this on playthroneandliberty.com.
When the siege begins, your guild has 45 minutes to overcome the castle’s defenders and achieve victory. As an attacker, you have to storm the castle, break through the fortified gates and conquer the throne room.
The defenders, transported into the castle at the start of the battle, must hold the line and use every available resource to repel all attackers. If the throne is still contested after the time has expired, there will be a 3-minute extension, on which the outcome of the battle depends.
From the Korean servers we already know what happens during castle sieges:

The strategy for victory
What subtleties play a role in winning? If you take up strategic positions such as siege ruins, you will gain access to teleportation and resurrection points and, as an attacking guild, can summon powerful siege golems.
Each golem – whether it’s a stone crusher, a battle carrier, a gate hammer or a jump attacker – brings unique skills to the battlefield, such as transporting players or destroying castle walls.
Once you, as an attacker, have overcome the first wall, you have to navigate through the complicated layout of the castle. You can use the sewers for surprise ambushes or use gate levers to control access points.
The looting and reviving stones scattered across the battlefield provide another layer of strategy, allowing you to steal resources or secure position. There are five looting stones in total. When these are in the attackers’ hands, Sollant and Luzent jingle from the castle chamber onto your account.
What about the tax transport event? Since all of the castle’s defenders have now been elected, the ruling guild can initiate the tax transport event for their server.
Tax Transport is a guild event in which the ruling guild must defend a tax caravan from its territory. If the ruling guild successfully brings their riches from Vienta to Rockwatch Castle, they will receive a large bounty from Luzent and Sollant.
However, should attackers stop the delivery, the rewards will be distributed to any participant outside of the First Defender Alliance.
Each tax transport begins with the ruling guild appointing a member as a tax transport golem. Attacking guilds must destroy the Titan’s Sealstone. With the help of barriers, bomb carriers, Archeum Knights and the Chaos Golem debuffs, they can take action against the Golem.
