Historic Allies Evolution coming to Beta April 29, 2026

 

Embargo ends April 28, 2026

Any ally you have can evolve into a higher rarity.  As you increase the rarity you unlock new abilities.

The power of the ally comes from progressing from lv 1 to lv 100.  Increasing rarity adds an ability but does not affect the power.

Possible evolutions:

• common
• uncommon 
• rare
• epic 
• legendary

Allies will have five ability slots and each rarity unlocks an ability.

To evolve an ally you need:

• Valor tokens
• heroic scrolls

The costs for both of these items scale to level of ally and rarity of ally.

Valor Tokens:

• Obtained by disbanding allies you no longer need
• completing heroic tavern quests
• event store purchase

So what the hell is that all about?  Well as you may have notice power creep exists in the ally system.  They are plentiful to get and the older allies are already obsolete.  By allowing players to disband these obsolete allies players can jump in the perpetual hamster wheel and chase the new shiny allies and make them stronger by disbanding the old ones.  Then in 6 months to a year you can disband the one you just upgraded and rinse and repeat!

Heroic Tavern will be upgraded to offer Valor Tokens and increase the availability of scrolls.

Negotiations will have less goods variable to start then get harder.

The cost to evolve and the rewards when you disband will likely change after the system is implemented and they see what players do with it but here's what it is now.

The new abilities is not just % fight boost increase.

From Inno

"New Historical Allies will be able to grant units special abilities. Including some of your favorite ones like: Poison, Force Field, Keen Eye, Frenzy etc.

When assigned to a building, Allies will be able to produce resources as well – these could include items such as: Goods, Units, Blueprints, Resources (Coins, Supplies, Medals), Fragments of special items (even Buildings!), etc."

One important note.  The ally's output is based on the age of the building not the age of the player.  So if the ally produce troops and you have a need for troops of previous age and an event building that can house an ally then this can work for you.  Place the ally in the prev age building and it will make troops of that age.

Same for goods.  You can use FSP and charges from Blue Galaxy will work on them as well.

Other changes:

You can hoard scrolls and tokens again.  The cap that was implemented last year has been removed.

Ability to level more than one level at a time.
