Get ready to conquer the cities of northern hemisphere as Northern Lights Campaign starts in a couple of hours. Besides few changes to the combat rules, Northern Lights re-introduces the Battlegroup Beacons: Animator High Command and Architect Battle Control.

The commanders of the losing Academy redouble their strategic support, creating Battlegroup Beacons to strike against the winning side, while the commanders of the winning Academy tend to spare their resources for the rainy day.

Battlegroup Beacons appear in the Cloudview for the whole Battlegroup team. Additionally you will get a message of a new Battlegroup Beacon in the Main View. Battlegroup Beacons will be added to the Campaign wednesday May 25th.

Northern Lights Campaign starts May 24th, 3 pm EST.

Combat rules changes done for the Campaign:

- Dominator casting cost was reduced considerably. Dominator health decreased a little, except for players with high Endurance and/or specialization points in Dominator spell.

- Dominators recharge somewhat slower than during Frodleikr.

- Shielding a Beacon with a Potion is now much more efficient than before.

Update: To get the Battlegroup Beacons function optimally they still need some tweaking. Grey Area team is working on getting the BG Beacons to the game as soon as possible. If they won't make it to the Northern Lights Campaign, they'll be brought to the next one.

We will let you know as soon as the BG Beacons are in the game!
