Topic: [108402] Update: New Mercenary Missions

[-108402] CM Arcanine [None] :: June 19, 2014, 2:51 p.m.

Hey Community,

The following features come with this update to the game:

A gift for you

• Every now and then a gift package will appear as a small icon in the interface. (similar to prime day)
• The gift has a waiting time before you will be able to open it.
• If the waiting period has expired, you will then have a few hours to collect the gift with a single click.
• Inside the gift could be many possible different rewards such as strong troops or food.
• The gifts can be different for players of different levels.
• How often it appears will depend on how well it is received by the community.

Mercenary camp gets a new look

• The mercenary camp has been revised.
• Missions will be available several times a day now and are generated using a random value.
• Each mission has three rewards, a coin cost and a duration.
• You can start the mission by paying the coin cost.
• After the mission duration has expired you will be able to pick up the reward and start a new mission.
• Using rubies it will be possible to skip the waiting time and complete the mission
• The level of the Mission (Rare, Epic, etc.) determines how long the mission takes, the reward and the starting price.
• Each day you will only have a limited number of missions available to complete.
• If you do not like a mission, you can skip it completely by using rubies to generate a new one. However, it is not possible to complete more missions per day than other players.
• Every 6 hours you will get 6 missions. It is possible to complete a maximum of 24 missions a day.
• A mission could take between 1 minute and 90 minutes depending on the value of it.

Other new features

• On the barracks screen, the actual food consumption of the units is no longer shown, but will now show the food production minus consumption. Therefore it will be possible to now see from the recruitment screen how many units you can still produce before you will have a negative food production.
• New tool: stone. Many lords want an opportunity to artificially slow down to their army. Now they have the opportunity to give them heavy stones to take with them so that they travel very slowly. Stones will be obtainable at events. Both a coin and ruby version of the stone will be available from the armorer.
• The adventure maps for the other Kingdoms have been simplified. The resource donations required to start the adventure as well as the army will now always be taken from the main castle in the Great Empire.
• When a building is burning it will be marked in the floor plan view to make it easier to find.
• There are other small adjustments to the sizes of the new world map graphics based on the collected feedback.
• Rounds of the Storm Island Kingdom will be ended when it is technically possible and not necessarily at a certain time (The end time can vary due to necessary delays, but it will never end early)

As always, you can talk about this update in the Discussion Thread!

Regards,

Your Empire Team.
