<p>This Castle Wars update was originally scheduled to come out next week, but we've decided to release it a few days earlier than planned. We<57>ve released two updates this week to give everyone the opportunity to play the new, improved Castle Wars over the bank holiday weekend (Spring Bank Holiday in the UK; Memorial Day in the USA).</p>
<p>Castle Wars has been in the game for a fair few years now and, although still very popular, needed some improvements to bring it up to the standard of some of RuneScape<70>s newer activities. From your feedback, it was clear the focus should be on the rewards, but we<77>ve also tweaked a couple of aspects inside the arena and given it a <a href="../m%3dhiscore/overall2009.html?table=9&amp;category_type=1">high score table</a>!</p>
<p>Our goal has been to retain the main gameplay elements of <a href=../../site/kbase/guid/castle_wars.html>Castle Wars</a>, since many of you already enjoy it as it stands. We hope the new <a href=../../site/kbase/guid/castle_wars.html#rewards>rewards</a> you can use inside the arena will enhance your experience! The main additions are:<br>
<ul>
<li>All decorative armour sets (including the new fourth set) give you a set effect when worn during a Castle Wars match.</li>
<li>Improvements to the catapults <20> teammates can deploy flares to mark targets, plus the catapult has a more useful interface.</li>
<li>A new ballista siege weapon you can deploy in the arena at key tactical locations (bought from the reward shop).</li>
<li>Halos of the gods <20> these fashionable pieces of headgear reduce the rate at which certain prayers drain your Prayer points (which prayers depend on which halo you wear).</li>
<li>A new faithful shield <20> a particularly attractive shield with a nice Prayer bonus.</li>
<li>New combat potion sets that can be bought with tickets and used within the arena.</li>
<li>Castle Wars prestige capes <20> new capes for those who have captured the most flags or killed the most players in a match, or who<68>ve played a LOT of Castle Wars.</li>
<li>Take-5 added to the equipment tables, to make it quicker to get going once a match begins.</li>
<li>Castle Wars added to the website's Hiscores section, tracking number of matches played.</li>
</ul>
</p>
<p>After you've checked out the new rewards in Lanthus<75>s shop, why not jump into some Castle Wars matches to land yourself a place in the high scores? This is also a great opportunity to get in some Castle Wars practice, as we will soon be running a Castle Wars tournament as part of the <a href=l%3d0/newsitem10d9.html?id=2955>Triumvirate community game</a>. In anticipation of the tournament, you can join one of the three Triumvirate factions by heading to the <a href=../m%3dforum/sl%3d6/forums.html?236,237,0,60990014>main Triumvirate forum thread</a>.</p>
<p>Finally, click <a href="http://www.youtube.com/runescape" target="_blank">here</a> to view the official Castle Wars video on the www.youtube.com/runescape channel.</>
