Update: Battle for the Light and Altar of Light

Also, Artifacts, changes to the mail, and an updated game loading screen. 

• Battle for the Light

This is a new legendary Competition that is held in a separate world called Alfheim. 

The Battle for the Light consists of a series of battles, in which Jarls capture Towers of Light and get points for holding them. Among the Competition rewards, you can receive a unique item — Alfheim Light. 

Read more about the rules and features of the Battle for the Light in the Game Guide, which can be found both in the game itself and on the portal. 

• Altar of Light and Artifacts

There's now a new building, the Altar of Light, on the Town map. There's one of these structures in every Jarl's Town, but the building can only be used starting from Palace level 25. 

Special objects called Artifacts can be found at the Altar. They grant bonuses to your troops. You can upgrade and activate Artifacts in exchange for Alfheim Light. 

Read more about Artifacts and their features in the Game Guide, which can be found both in the game itself and on the portal. 

• Displaying reports about defending Fortresses

Reports about defending Fortresses during Competitions will only be sent to the personal mail of the Jarls whose troops took part in the relevant defense. 

• Game loading screen

The loading screen now shows the game version and your user ID. 

In order to update the game, we'll be carrying out some technical maintenance. You won't be able to log in to the game during that time. 

❗ Don't forget to upgrade Vikings: War of Clans to the latest version, since the previous version may not work correctly.
