In Conan, there are maps where guilds can capture and build levels of encampments. In some ways, it is like an RTS. First, the guild must capture and harvest from resource nodes. Once they have enough, they can claim a plot of land to build up a keep of their own. These structures are massive and will take weeks of cooperation to build, although like an RTS, once the stuff is ready, it won't take too long for the new structure to appear.
Of course, it wouldn't be combat without the threat of a raid. Nearby factions will try and tear down these structures. The full mechanics of this was explained in our last preview (story), but this is the first time we got to see the full scope of what waits.
