Topic: [103689] Berimond: The Revenge!

[-103689] CM Arcanine [None] :: March 3, 2014, 11:06 a.m.

Berimond is a land frozen in terror. Once the King of the kingdom perished horribly, his two heirs began to fight for control of his country: Leopold the III of the House Gerbrandt and Grimbert of the House Ursidae.

From level 30, any player can choose to join the Berimond event! Players will join a faction and fight to claim glorious victory for their Heir, conquering villages, destroying towers, and eventually plundering the enemy capital!

• The overall objective of the Berimond event is to defeat enemy watchtowers and gradually reach and destroy their Capital.
• Capturing and holding the enemy factions resource villages in the kingdom will grant your faction a production bonus.
• Defeating players of the opposite faction will weaken the defenders in their Watchtowers and Capital.
• Don't forget to defend your own Towers and Capital!
• Once the enemy capital has fallen, that faction will go into Last Man Standing mode, where the players of that faction will be eliminated if they are defeated. Defeating all the remaining enemy players wins the event for your faction!

Any military action taken in the Berimond kingdom will grant you points and a place in the Berimond Rankings. Regardless of whether your faction wins or loses the event, you will receive rewards based on the amount of points you have earned.

The following changes have been made since the last Berimond event:

• Bugs have been fixed.
• Balancing has been adjusted.
• Watchtowers have become slightly stronger.
• There are new levels for existing buildings.

In addition, joining the battle has been reworked. Players can no longer choose the faction they wish to join, instead, they will be automatically assigned to a faction. Players from the same Alliance will be assigned to the same faction. This change was made to ensure a more balanced, and less one sided Berimond experience.

Berimond has begun! Onwards, to battle!

Regards,

Your Empire Team

Hey community,

Unfortunately we're having a few issues currently with Berimond and therefore will have to cancel the event for now. Due to this we are expecting the servers to be down until approximately 13:30 CST.

Any costs you have paid to enter the event will be refunded to you.

Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience.

Regards,
Ethan

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce that we have resovled yesterdays issues and Berimond has been restarted. We are now having a short hotfix to resolve a left over issue from yesterday, but after that we should be good to go!

Ethan

Hi all,

Sorry for the delay, we are now just finalising the last parts and the servers should be back up shortly. Along with the entry problems the fix will also reduce the protection mode when joining the kingdom from 72 hours down to 24 hours. This was intended from the start, but was unfortunately not changed before the event started.

Regards,
Ethan
