A Guide to Campaigns

As you play Game of Thrones: Dragonfire, Campaigns offer you a path into the heart of Westeros, playing through epic scenarios that shape the realm’s future. 

Today, we’ll be diving into the technical specifics of Reigns, Campaigns, and Stages as well as what you retain between reigns, and what resets when you enter the next stage of your World’s lifecycle.

Reigns & Campaigns

Your World is the server your stronghold resides on, and is where you will meet players across different factions! When you join a world for the first time, you will be on a new server with new players playing through your first Reign and first Campaign.

A Reign is an event arc, or season, that takes place over the course of 8 weeks. When a Reign ends, a new one begins, and with it may come a new Campaign, events, or other opportunities.

Campaigns are the story in which you will go through over the course of a Reign. Like reigns, these goals and opportunities last around 8 weeks. Because Campaigns can change based on the decisions you make and the battles you win, these can potentially be replayed in future Reigns.

Campaign Stages

You will progress in your Campaign through Campaign Stages. These are time-limited phases associated with a particular part of the Campaign that offer different objectives, effects, rewards, and story moments.

Stages only last for a set time, so act quickly. Complete objectives to claim rewards once the stage concludes! Some stages will even offer special effects or buffs that change how the game is played—for example, realm modifiers such as shorter Stalemates or more Tile Capacity could appear!

Make sure to claim these rewards before the campaign ends, otherwise they will not transfer to the next reign.

Plan ahead, stay flexible, and adapt as each new stage unfolds!

Campaign Goals

Campaign Goals last the duration of the Campaign. As you complete goals, you’ll be able to earn rewards that strengthen your dragon collection for future battles.  For both Stage and Campaign goals, you have two distinct places to earn rewards.

First, Faction Goals. These are team-based objectives that you must complete with your allies. Working together earns greater rewards!

Second, Personal Goals. These are objectives you complete on your own to gain additional keys and other resources, such as meat.

You must reach Stronghold Tier 10 before the Reign ends in order to claim rewards from Faction or Personal Campaign Goals. You’ll be able to claim the rewards in your mail at the start of the next Campaign!

End of Campaign

Once you reach the end of a campaign, some things will change going into your next Reign. After all, the game is won, and the next game of thrones will begin.

You will automatically shift to a new reign, and potentially a different campaign. Currently there are 2 campaigns available- Heirs of the Dragon & Shadow of the Greens. 

Heirs of the Dragon is unique as an introductory campaign, and you will likely never repeat it once completed.

During this time, worlds may go through a transition. A transition is the process of integrating two or more worlds into one reign. This is usually an automatic activity the game will take, and will almost always occur right before a new reign begins. There are many factors the game uses to determine which worlds are transitioned together. 

However, during soft launch, expect to transition with worlds whose Campaigns end around approximately the same times as yours.

Reigns may occasionally be extended or shortened by a week. This is not the final intention for this experience, but a temporary approach while the game is in soft launch. If you transition into a reign and a campaign has already begun, you will be sent a gift of various items that will help you make up for the missed week. Make sure to check your in-game mailbox for more information, and claim any rewards!

Importantly, certain progress resets. This means the following items you may have leveled up or earned will be removed or reset.

• Dragon Reign Level
• Stronghold Upgrades
• Tile Ownership
• Territory Influence
• Meat
• Resolve
• Food, Wood, Stone, & Iron

The following items are Durable between reigns and will not be removed from your inventory.
