Immigration Improvements

With the release of a new civilization, many players will be excited to try it out and switch between civilizations. Well, RoK developers have made things easier with the new improvements coming to the Immigration system with Patch 1.0.58. Starting from this patch, Immigration will be divided into 2 types:

• Same-Season Immigration: The earlier known concept of same-region immigration has been merged with Same-season immigration. No other particular rules have been changed and players can change kingdoms when the current kingdom and the destination kingdom are located in the same seasons.

• Cross-Season Immigration: This type of immigration allows the players to transfer to the destination kingdom when the current kingdom is on a different season and the current kingdom’s server age is older than the destination kingdom.

When performing Same-Season immigration, certain conditions will apply:

• The current kingdom cannot be 10 days or older than the destination kingdom if the destination kingdom is in a Preparation Season.
• The player’s current kingdom should be in the same region as the destination kingdom if the destination kingdom is in Lost Kingdom Season 1.

That concludes the coverage of Update 1.0.58 Glory of Egypt in Rise of Kingdoms. Players can feel free to read the official patch notes to get a better understanding of the new civilization and adjustments coming. We highly recommend playing Rise of Kingdoms on a PC with BlueStacks using a keyboard and mouse.
