Alpha-1 castle sieges.

Pre-alpha Castle siege playthrough.

Guilds participate in Castle sieges in an effort to capture and occupy one of the five guild castles in Ashes of Creation.

• Sieges occur once a month.

A guild that captures a castle will own that castle for a month before it is sieged again.

• In the first three weeks that a guild occupies a castle they will need to level up each of their castle nodes to Village stage through questing.
• The fourth week is declaration week, where other guilds have the opportunity to lay down their declaration flag or to sign up as a defender of the castle.
• Depending on how well the guild defends the castle nodes results in better defenses for the castle.
• Different siege weaponry will grant the attackers the ability to destroy walls, doors and sections of the castle in order to gain access to the inner keep area.

There will be benefits to attracting people... even if they're not in your guild or alliance – kind of a feudal like system, where you can attract other players who are just independent of this whole politic. They will have things to do there - benefits to receive - and there will be a reciprocal relationship between who you can attract, what they do for you; and how that benefits you and them. – Steven Sharif
