Not only do Alliance Outposts have all the functionality of an Alliance Flag, they can also be used to loan troops to your alliance. Your alliance leader and officers can use these loan troops to garrison buildings and launch rallies.
2) Alliance Flag Shields: You can activate a shield for individual Alliance Flags. A shielded Flag cannot be attacked for the duration of the shield. Shielded Flags cannot be used as the basis for building new Alliance Flags or launching attacks.
3) Curios: At the end of a certain Lost Kingdom Chronicles chapter, you will be able to claim a "curio". If a troop's secondary commander has a curio equipped, all units in the troop will be converted into a certain unit type (depending on the curio).
4) Support Skills: Complete quests from Bastion commanders to unlock their skills as support skills. Each troop can equip up to 2 support skills. Support skills do not affect garrisons or rallied armies.
5) Altar of Darkness Changes: While the Altar of Darkness is open, any governor with a troop inside the Altar of Darkness's province will receive continuous Honor Points (not just governors in the coalition that occupies the Altar of Darkness).

3. "Tides of War" Season of Conquest Story Optimization
1) Adjustments to Season Rules
- New Season Rule: When gathering basic resources in the Lost Kingdom (Food, Wood, Stone, or Gold), your alliance will gain alliance supplies (20% of the resources you gathered). Alliance supplies will be stored in the Alliance Merit Shop, and can be redeemed by alliance members with Merits. This rule will take effect for the entire Season.
- Increased the visibility of the following rules:
*If a garrison captain is reduced to 0 units through combat, it will not immediately return to its original city. It will remain in the garrison until combat has ended.
*In the Lost Kingdom, killing units belonging to governors in other camps will earn you Merits. Merits can be exchanged for alliance supplies in the Alliance Merit Shop. Unused Merits will be lost at the end of the Season.

3. Commander Skill Description Rework
In this version, we've rewritten and optimized the descriptions for virtually every commander skill. Note that we have NOT changed the actual effects of any of these skills. Below are some specific changes we made:
1) The term "normal attack damage" has been replaced with "normal damage" and the term "normal attack" has been replaced by "basic attack".
- The previous term "normal attack damage" has always included damage dealt by BOTH normal attacks and counterattacks, and we felt that this term did not clearly express this idea.
2) For all commander skills, we have worked to eliminate ambiguities, more clearly define targets/scopes, improve readability, and unify/optimize terminology. This includes things like clarifying skill conditions/triggers, more clearly stating cooldown times/durations, breaking skills into more readable chunks, etc.
3) As previously stated, these changes are purely textual and have no effect on the actual effects of these skills.

4. "Siege of Orléans" Season of Conquest Story Optimization

- For kingdoms in Season 3 or the Season of Conquest, we've added Transmutation Stones to the rewards of certain Crusader Achievements.
2) Reduced the difficulty of some Lost Kingdom Chronicles quests in the Endless War, Distant Journey, and Light and Darkness stories. We've also reduced the difficulty of capturing Crusader Fortresses.
3) Added the Season Accolades leaderboard. In the last three days of the Lost Kingdom, you'll be able to view the governors with the most units killed, most units lost, and most units healed in the Lost Kingdom.
4) In stories where you can dispatch two troops to join rallies, we've optimized the process of replacing a troop you've dispatched to a rally. You can now replace a single troop instead of replacing both troops together.
5) During the first stage of the Eve of the Crusade event, you can now trade Scraps of Parchment with all governors in your kingdom, not just with your fellow alliance members.
6) Optimized the Past Glory event. These changes will take effect for Lost Kingdoms that begin after 2023/08/11:
- The difficulty of certain stages of the event have been adjusted, depending on your Season.
- The maximum duration of each stage of the event has been changed: 3 days for the first stage, 2 days for the second stage, and 2 days for the third stage. If the task for a given stage hasn't been completed by this time, the event will automatically move onto the next stage.
- There is now a limit to how many Hero Medallions you can earn during the third stage of the event. Once you've earned the maximum number of Hero Medallions, you can still donate commander sculptures to speed up the reconstruction of your Crusader Fortress, but you will not earn any more Hero Medallions.
7) Optimized some functional text in the Lost Kingdom. These changes are cosmetic and will have no effect on gameplay.

You can select from a number of different ""Stratagem Folios"", each of which have a different combination of Stratagem slots. Stratagems must be equipped to a slot that matches their type.
