Brotherhood Bastion
The Brotherhood Bastion is a Building constructed by your Leader to unite your forces and strengthen your armies.
The Brotherhood Bastion has 21 levels (0-20). When first constructed your Brotherhood Bastion will be at Level 3, but it can be downgraded to zero by rival Brotherhoods. Remember: the higher the Level of your Brotherhood Bastion, the greater the bonuses. Each upgrade Level:
- Grants you additional Influence Points.
- Increases the bonuses you are able to receive from your Knowledge.
Fields of Knowledge are special areas of discovery that allow a Brotherhood to simultaneously boost the statistics of ALL of its Members' armies.
The Brotherhood Bastion interface has 3 main tabs:
1. Info. In this tab you can:
- View Brotherhood Resources (Stone Blocks and Codexes) as well as the number of Rubies you personally hold
- View Brotherhood Resource history. This shows which Brotherhood Members have used which Brotherhood Resources, including how much they have used, and when they used them.
- Rename your Brotherhood Bastion. Those Brotherhood Members authorized to do so must simply click on the icon next to the Bastion's current name.
- Relocate your Brotherhood Bastion. This only applies to those Brotherhood Members authorized to do so.
- View various upgrade Requirements. This indicates the number of requirements that must be met in order for a Bastion to be able to be upgraded to the next Level.
- View current Brotherhood Bonuses. Bonuses granted from Bastion Knowledge, as well as any Influence Bonuses, will be displayed here.
2. Garrisons. Here you can see which Units are currently stationed at your Brotherhood Bastion (meaning Reinforcements sent to the Bastion by other Brotherhood Members).
3. Knowledge. Here you can:
- View Brotherhood Resources (Stone Blocks and Codexes) as well as the number of Rubies you personally hold.
- View Brotherhood Resource history. This shows which Brotherhood Members have used which Brotherhood Resources, including how much they have used, and when they have used them.
- View your Fields of Knowledge and their current Levels. Brotherhood Leaders – and those Brotherhood Members authorized to do so – are able to upgrade Knowledge. Upgrading Knowledge to higher Levels means all Brotherhood Members will receive even greater bonuses.
Remember: your Bastion also provides storage for Brotherhood Resources. If a Brotherhood is disbanded, all Units stationed at its Brotherhood Bastion will automatically return to their owners' Harbors – however, all Brotherhood Resources will be permanently lost.
BUILDING YOUR BASTION
Each Brotherhood gets ONE Brotherhood Bastion, which can only be built by the Brotherhood Leader.
There are several ways to build a Brotherhood Bastion:
1. From the Global Map. Open the Map and click on the "Build Brotherhood Bastion" button. You will be shown a list of special locations where you are able to construct your Brotherhood Bastion. These locations are called "Bastion Chasms". Simply choose the location where you would like to build your Brotherhood Bastion, then click "Place Bastion". Bear in mind that the location of your Brotherhood Bastion should be suitable for all Brotherhood Members, as they will be called upon to protect it in times of need.
2. From the "My Brotherhood" tab at the Brethren Court. Go to the "My Brotherhood" tab and press the "Build Brotherhood Bastion" button next to your Brotherhood's name. You will be taken to the Map and shown which Bastion Chasms are currently available.
RELOCATING YOUR BASTION
Brotherhood Bastion Relocators are special Items that can be used to change an Bastion's location on the Map. Brotherhood Leaders – or those Brotherhood Members with permission to do so – are able to use Brotherhood Bastion Relocators to relocate their Brotherhood Bastion to a new location of their choosing. Each Brotherhood Bastion can only be relocated ONCE per day. Brotherhood Bastion Relocators can be acquired from the Smuggler's Den, within the "Special" tab.
BE AWARE: Once a Brotherhood Bastion is relocated, it cannot be moved back to its previous location.
When relocating a Brotherhood Bastion, all Units stationed there will be relocated along with it, and all ongoing upgrades happening at the Bastion will continue as normal. If a rival Brotherhood attacks your Bastion at the moment of relocation, their Units will be returned to them.
Some Brotherhood Bastion features are initially only available to the Brotherhood Leader. To allow other Brotherhood members to use Brotherhood Resources, or to rename or relocate their Brotherhood Bastions, the Brotherhood Leader must give permission to those users from within the "My Brotherhood" tab at the Brethren Court.
Every fully-fledged Brotherhood Member is able to contribute to the defense of their own Brotherhood Bastion, as well as any attacks on other Brotherhoods' Bastions. Every fully-fledged Brotherhood Member is also able to contribute towards the upgrade of their Brotherhood's Bastion – as well as to the upgrade of various Fields of Knowledge – by participating in Tournaments and Brotherhood Adventures and helping their Brotherhood earn Brotherhood Resources. Brotherhood Leaders – and other Brotherhood Members with permission to do so – can view their Brotherhood's Resource history from within the "Brotherhood Resource History" tab.
BE AWARE: If a Brotherhood Member leaves their Brotherhood, all Units they have garrisoned at their Brotherhood Bastion will be sent back to their personal Harbor. However, all Brotherhood Resources gained will remain in the Brotherhood account – and not taken by the leaving player.
BASTION DOWNGRADE
Each Brotherhood should strive to downgrade other Brotherhoods' Bastions for two main reasons. The first is to deprive rival Brotherhoods of their valuable bonuses. The second is that downgrading other Brotherhoods' Bastions is a key requirement for a Brotherhood that wants to upgrade their own. If you want to boost your own Bastion, you're going to have to go to war with rival Brotherhoods! To downgrade a rival Bastion, your Brotherhood must perform a successful attack on it.
Important: Brotherhood Bastions cannot be downgraded more than ONCE per day.
If another Brotherhood successfully attacks your Bastion while an upgrade is not in progress, your Bastion will be downgraded by one Level, and 50% of the Stone Blocks spent on the upgrade to the lost Level will be returned to your Brotherhood. If another Brotherhood manages to perform a successful attack on your Bastion while it is being upgraded, the upgrade will fail, and your Bastion will be downgraded by one Level. Your Brotherhood will be reimbursed 75% of the Stone Blocks spent on the attempted upgrade, as well as a further 50% of the Stone Blocks spent on the upgrade to the lost Level. If a Brotherhood Bastion is downgraded while a Field of Knowledge is being upgraded, the upgrade will continue as normal, and will not be interrupted.
BE AWARE: you cannot attack other Brotherhood Bastions while your diplomatic status is "At Peace".
MILESTONE LEVEL
Milestone Level is key in keeping the strength of your Brotherhood Bastion. Once a Brotherhood Bastion has been upgraded up to a Milestone Level, it cannot be downgraded below it.
Your Brotherhood Bastion has 21 Levels – from 0 to 20.
Each upgrade Level:
- Grants you additional Influence Points
- Increases the bonuses you are able to receive from your Brotherhood's Knowledge.
Your Brotherhood needs to fulfill several requirements to upgrade its Brotherhood Bastion:
1. Hold enough Stone Blocks. You can get Stone Blocks by participating in Tournaments, or you can purchase them from the "Info" tab of your Brotherhood Bastion.
2. Hold the required number of Presidios of the required Level.
3. Hold the required position in the Brotherhood Rankings
4. Downgrade a Bastion of the required Level or higher. This requirement must be completed only ONCE for each upgrade Level.
Upgrading your Brotherhood Bastion takes time, but the Brotherhood Leader – and those select members with permission to do so – can speed up this process with Rubies. Normal Boost Items cannot be used to speed up this process, and Bastion upgrades cannot be cancelled – so think carefully before deciding to upgrade your Brotherhood Bastion.
IMPORTANT: If another Brotherhood successfully attacks your Bastion while an Upgrade is not in progress, your Bastion will be downgraded by one Level, and 50% of the Stone Blocks spent on the upgrade to the lost Level will be returned to your Brotherhood. If another Brotherhood manages to perform a successful attack on your Bastion while it is being upgraded, the upgrade will fail, and your Bastion will be downgraded by one Level. Your Brotherhood will be reimbursed 75% of the Stone Blocks spent on the attempted upgrade, as well as a further 50% of the Stone Blocks spent on the upgrade to the lost Level.
Each Field of Knowledge provides statistical bonuses to ALL Brotherhood Members simultaneously. The following Fields of Knowledge are available:
1. Rum Consumption Reduction - Decreases the amount of Rum consumed by all Brotherhood Members' Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
2. Unit Speed Increase - Increases the speed of all Brotherhood Members' Units (Galleons not included). Applies to all Brotherhood Members
3. Pirate Defense - Increases Pirate Units' Defense against all types of Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
4. Mercenary Defense- Increases Mercenary Units' Defense against all types of Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
5. Fleet Defense - Increases Fleet Units' Defense against all types of Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
6. Armada Defense - Increases Armada Units' Defense against all types of Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
7. Pirate Offense - Increases the Offensive statistics of Pirate Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
8. Mercenary Offense - Increases the Offensive statistics of Mercenary Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
9. Fleet Offense - Increases the Offensive statistics of Fleet Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
10. Armada Offense - Increases the Offensive statistics of Armada Units. Applies to all Brotherhood Members
Each Field of Knowledge also provides your Brotherhood with an Influence Bonus. The higher the Level of the Knowledge, the greater the bonus!
Brotherhood Members will only be able to visit their Brotherhood Bastion – and benefit from its bonuses – once they have been a Member of their Brotherhood for 7 days or more.
To increase the bonuses granted by a Brotherhood Bastion, a Brotherhood must upgrade its Fields of Knowledge. Only Brotherhood Leaders – and those Brotherhood Members with authorization – are able to upgrade a Brotherhood's Knowledge.
From the beginning, every Brotherhood's Knowledge will be at Level 0, but each Field of Knowledge can be upgraded to a maximum Level of 20. The higher the Level of the Knowledge, the greater the bonuses it will provide. IMPORTANT: Bonuses you receive from Knowledge are limited by the Level of your Brotherhood Bastion. If you have a Field of Knowledge of Level 20, but your Bastion is only Level 10, you will only receive bonuses equivalent to a Knowledge of Level 10.
Fields of Knowledge are not affected by attacks, and cannot be downgraded. Once upgraded to a certain Level, they will never drop below that Level.
You can only upgrade ONE Field of Knowledge at a time.
To upgrade Knowledge, you need Codexes. Codexes are a special Brotherhood-only Resource that can be acquired by participating in Brotherhood Adventures and Tournaments, or you can purchase them for Rubies when attempting to upgrade Fields of Knowledge.
