Big All Around Update 3/14/13
Massive Update!

Land of Earth

- Fortifications added. Each tower has a unique structure to build and upgrade for use in defending a tower. Each structure has a BASE ABILITY and a LAUNCH ABILITY. Base ability is a buff that affects every defender in the tower (including the structure). Then higher level the structure is, the better the BASE ABILITY will be. After 250 defensive actions officers may launch a special ability that is quite powerful. To launch the structure, it will costs 20,000 essence of a specific type that comes from the guilds essence storage tanks. To level a structure up, will also costs guild essence from guild storage, along with your personel contribution of wood/iron/energy. - Once a launch ability has been used, it will remain for the next 250 incoming offensive actions against players (not structures!). The ability is usually a status buff on tower defenders. The exception being the HEALTH TOWER and the Purifying Temple, which has a one time heal all/cleanse all effect. - Structures act the same as player defenders. They must be destroyed before you can bash on the crystal (and win the tower). - A tower defeat will result in the tower structure LOSING a level. - Only officers are now allowed to "Tag" a tower. In the future, we will correct this rather confusing portion of design/UI to be more intuitive. - Expect balance changes with the risk/rewards after release.

Health Rune Change

- When performing a heal in guild formats, you will receive an extra amount of healed health equal to your EQUIPPED health rune contribution. So if you health rune confers +100 health to you when equipped, it will ALSO add +100 extra healed health when healing other targets. NOTE: You will only receive guardian path credit from conquest features. Guild battle formats are not conquest features.

- NOTE: This health rune contribution to healing is based on the rune itself (as found in your keep) and not based on the health multipliers found in guild battle formats. (Ex: Rune that gives you +100 health in Keep and +1000 Health in guild battle will give you extra +100 per heal)
