I considered adding it, but:

a) GGS has never confirmed (as far as I know) that the Colossus is a recurring event, and we've only ever seen it twice
b) When it first appeared, it was assumed to be a one off temporary event (like the Icy Siege or Berimond), something which I don't include as a "normal" event or talk about in this thread
c) It lasts a lot longer than any other event - it's closer in time to Berimond (in some cases) than anything else
d) There's no achievements for it under the "event" section, or any other indicator that it's a normal event
e) Not everything that appears outside your castle is a normal event (e.g. the villagers in other kingdoms, the hunting lodge, the first thorn king event)

Apparently, there's a 4th package that appears with the equipment trader - the defense one. I've added it.

I don't. You can't recruit every type of soldier - that's why they're good. If you could easily recruit demon horror, it would make earning them with honour less worthwhile and would kind of ruin the game. But anyway, this isn't the place for suggestions to add.

Yes, I also got that one offered by the equipment trader today.

Regarding the alchemist event, it might be worth mentioning that unused ingredients are not lost once the tent is gone. They can be used the next time the alchemist tent appears.

Okay. I've written just a short sentence about that.

Hey, did you know that this happens if you have 5 or more events at your castle at once? talk about overcrowded! In case you can't tell, these are the events, from left to right: Battle for Berimond, Herald of the Tournament, Armourer, Equipment Trader, and Technicus.

I think it's the first time it's ever happened (unless it happened during my 3 month absence), but yeah, I did notice that this morning. I've seen 4 before a few times, and this is just 4 proper events + Berimond.

Do you think I should mention it somewhere in the guide? It's not really going to happen much, and even when it does, it's not very confusing.

I don't think it's really nessesary, this is the first time in my 14 months here that Ive seen this, and Ive been on almost every day except for the month I went inactive around lvl 25

Yeah, it really shows how much this game has grown. Back when I started, having 3 events would be quite unusual, because there were only a few (8, I think). When I left, 4 events was still reasonably rare. Now, I've seen 5 events at once, and multiple events at once are a lot more common. Since I joined, the number events has just about doubled, plus there's now achievements for them, temporary events are more common and the decision-making mini-events have also been created. And that's considering that I didn't really join that long ago, compared to some people who've been with the game basically since it started (there's still people who remember the Icy Siege, whereas all I remember about it is that when I joined the forums, you'd get the occasional mention of it, and there were a couple of threads about it I dug up and read).

Spy's Camp can also have the Cow King now, which has no achievement as far as I know, but you get the Unique Commander Look equipment "Cowbell of Confusion", which lasts for 1 day.

Yeah, the Cow King doesn't count for the Spy Camp achievements.

It's just a minor holiday thing - I'm treating it like Berimond or the other temporary events and not including it here. If anyone really needs to know about the Cow King, it's just the King of the Robber Barons with a more fun reward and a different-looking castle.

The Great Tournament now shows the rankings of all players on server.

The Peacemaker (Spy's camp) level 4 with 75 points: Defeat the King of the Robber Barons 15 times.

hey bob, i have a feeling that the travelling knights relic could be based partly on the surrounding robber baron castles and their lvl but not 100% sure

I'm at a higher rank than my brother and I had an event he didn't. Once he hit level 10 (this is a while ago) he had the same events I did, so some of them are based on level I think.

Interesting idea... it could be, but since the RBC levels generally increase as you do, it would be hard to tell them apart - especially when we don't have a firm theory in the first place.
