Wild Forest Adds First Feature for Castles
Zillion Whales has updated their free to play card RTS Wild Forest with Training Camps, the first feature for Castles that gives in-game utility to Lord Stakers.
Training Camps are structures within Castles designed to let you level up units without needing to use Gold or Shards. This means that you need to stake a Lord NFT to use this new feature, as the Castles feature itself is only available for Lord stakers, making this both an NFT-gated and staking-gated addition to the blockchain game.
You can place one Unit of your choosing in one Camp to begin the training process. Instead of needing to have resources to level up your Unit. This feature simply lets you wait it out for a certain period of time before the Unit is levelled up. How long this levelling process takes depends on the rank and league of the Unit. While the Unit is training, you can’t use the standard level up feature and you can’t play any matches with that Unit. But you can do other actions such as rank up, mint, burn, sell, or transfer. But doing any of these could still lead to the training procedure getting cancelled. Requiring you to start the level up process over again.
Types of Training Camps & Training Duration
There are 2 types of Training Camps available: regular Training Camps and Elite Training Camps. Regular Training Camps let you level up your Unit to level 20, while Elite ones let you go to level 30. Depending on the rarity of the Lord NFT you own, you have one of these 4 types of Castles: Chateau, Tower, Fortress, or Citadel. The Chateau is available for those who stake a Rare Lord NFT. Giving you a normal Training Camp you can use to level up your Unit to level 20. While the other types give you Elite Training Camps to make it possible to get your Unit to level 30.
The Tower is for Epic Lord stakers, granting 1 Training Camp and 1 Elite Training Camp. While the Fortress, awarded to Legendary Lord stakers, features 2 Training Camps and 1 Elite version. If you’re staking a Mystic Lord, then you have the Citadel type. Which consists of 2 Training Camps and 2 Elite Training Camps. So basically, the more Lord NFTs you stake, the more Castles you have, meaning more Training Camps available for use.
How long it takes for a Unit to level up will vary depending on the type of Unit, unit league, and the level it’s currently at. So the higher level the Unit already is and the rarer it is, the longer it will take for the training to increase the level further.
