NPC Guards (allocated to defend one of the towers)


Map Inside Of Fortress:


Heart of Castle (must be destroyed after all towers, before new guild takes over):


Detailed Map (created by me (AUST_ZoRrO)):

The only fortress is in Jangan?

I am pretty sure there are at least 5-8 fortresses throughout the map on each server.

Jangan Fortress
Dowhang Fortress
Hotan Fortress
Samar Fortress
Const Fortress
- Control City Taxes (i.e. blacksmith, grocery, etc)
-- Ranging from -20% or +20%.
--- Set only on Saturday's (after the war on friday)

The above are the CITY Fortresses. The TRADER Fortresses would have to be near around the Special Goods area and other areas like ferries.

Trader Fortresses include,
- Special goods taxes
- Ferry taxes
- Tunnel taxes
- Boat/Flight taxes
(i.e. any form of paid transporation).

when it is first implemented how does the first guild get to own it
is it the first guild that goes inside that owns it first?

First guild to get the most dmg on the heart.

Has anyone ever seen actual footage?

This thing is out in kSRO , shouldn't there be videoes that they have made about this thing? =x

There will be no owner. The first guild that goes into the castle and destroys the heart becomes the owner, until the next guild comes in and takes the heart of the castle. This continues until the time is up.

NOTE: Once the castle heart is destroyed, everyone is teleported out of the castle EXCEPT for the new owners. Then all the gates and towers are automatically re-built. Which means the attackers MUST destroy the gates and towers again before destroying the heart of the castle.



They do contain on Korean fansites and resource sites, but they are not on youtube they are usually hosted on private servers. I did see one ages ago, when kSRO first got the update on a German site, but i dont think that site is running at the moment.

it looks really big, lame, and square.
shoulda made it look prettier, like a real castle and not a sector of land.

so i'm still not getting >.< war will be between Guilds or Guild attack fortress
and fight vs Npc coz i you posted picture with npc guards

Nice who made that video pic? because i was from the same server and i know the guild. I wanted to join it once but got called to join other from friend. good old times

Nice post mate, i hope it turns out to be as good as Kal Online castle siege when it was at its peak.

this really reminds me Ragnarok's War of Emporium and that was super fun

What about nukers?

+1 screw archers I want to roast people from higher ground...

All range skills are included.

why is there not many videos of this.. i cant find shit other then the 3 videos already shown..

someone find or make some videos..

Please can someone making this clear and easy for me. I dont understand a damnet thing about the update. What is taxes ? Fortress ? Wtf ? I've read it on silkroadonline.net but i still not get it..
Be little seriust, thanks.

this should be fun

Omg in the 3rd video. If you guys go to the location where he enters the portal to the fortress you will see that the Cursor changes to the planet..like you are using the portals in towns. I always wondered what that was gonna be for since I was lvl 10 or something.

Anyone else seen it?

hmm i'll make sure to inform my guild mates of this thread.

this looks really fun......i want to do it right now.

^ brung back the old avy and sig...nice

I wonder if the only fortress we'll be getting is the Jangan One because i haven't even seen pics of Hotan Samarkand or CT's fortresses...

Hell yeah dude that was great. I always looked forward to WoE so I hope silkroad can live up to my expectations for their seiges.

too bad the real battles wont ever be the same as the one sin the video..

how much health does the one ni the middle hav?

nice thread aust_zoro

i hope this update comes quickly
i wanna do some action

ok i havent read about it but a frined told me that you wont use your amor and weps?

like you have to buy then inside that they are npc?

i dont really belive him but i havent read anything and too lazy to read

Incorrect. Those big hammers are used to help destroy gates and towers at a faster rate. They are like "special" weapons used to destroy buildings.


Not to sure, but a few million no doubt. Its kind of like trying to kill ISY or LORD YARKAN, but with no spawns (except tonnes of enemies stopping you and probably a tonne of summoned mercs or monsters).


The castle isnt on the maps, you teleport using special teleporters to the specific castle you wish to take over or battle within.


Fortress is like a castle which can tbe taken over by a guild/union for a week or more (so long as they can defend it the next Friday).
The winners of the fortress can control taxes in the specific city, ferries or other NPC related purchases.
If the tax rate is 20% and a normal NPC item is worth 10,000 gold - it now becomes 12,000 gold, with 2,000 gold going to the guild/union holding the castle. Generally speaking the owners of the fortress (or castle) tend to make a lot of money (gold) from players buying potions, lucky powders, NPC weapons, NPC armour, transports, pills and so on.

Lets assume in one week HOTAN receives about 100mil transactions. If the owner of the castle for HOTAN set the taxes for 20% they will receive 20mil for that week. Now thats assuming the town gets 100mil for that week. Which in my opinion is really low. Infact HOTAN in servers like XIAN would receive more than 1 billion gold transactions from NPC's (ie. transpots, pots, etc) per week. Which means guild owners would get about 200mil a week from taxes.

So your saying the guild owner gets 200m or it gets spread around the guild members that participed?
