Topic: [112184] Update: Monuments

[-112184] CM Arcanine [None] :: Oct. 13, 2014, 9:51 a.m.

The Monuments

• Monuments are special locations on the world map that alliances can claim for themselves
• When an alliance owns a monument, all alliance members receive a bonus on the glory points earned through attacks
• Monuments can be conquered through a simple attack, just like the King's Towers
• You cannot build anything in them
• The glory bonus depends on the monuments' level
• The monuments' level can be upgraded by the alliance that owns it through alliance members sending resources (wood and stone) to it
• There are two sizes of monuments. The big ones have a higher starting and maximum level than the small ones
• An alliance can own several monuments, but the bonus provided will only be that of the highest levelled monument they own
• When an alliance loses its monument to another alliance, the level of it remains. Only the progress from one level to the other is lost
• When the monument owner leaves the alliance, he also loses the monument, using the same principle as with King´s Towers
• In contrast to the capitals, there are many of these locations, so that everyone has a chance to claim them, not only the top alliances
• On large servers there will be more than 1,000 locations.
• Monuments only last for a month. Each and every month they will disappear and spawn at other places with their base level, so that the hunt for them starts again!

Revised Flame bearers and Composite bowman

• In order to make these units more balanced and viable, their respectively weaker defense stats have been improved
• The other stats of the units have not been changed

Revised Nomads

• Attention: The following changes will not be applied to the currently running event, they will be applied to the event once it will start again
• The "Invasion of the Nomads" event has been reworked, so that it works better with the shorter running time
• The nomads' cooldowns have been shortened, yet the secondary defense stats of the units have been increased and at some levels the amount of lootable khan tables has been reduced
• As a player, you will not be as limited by cooldown times now, but rather by troop losses through fights and thus by the need to recruit new units

Other Changes

• Players who don't participate in the battle of Berimond will not have the event activities in their travel overview anymore
• The Hunters Camp in the Thornking event can be built only once but it will have 10 level expansions. The upgrade costs have been increased slightly

In this update, some bugs are also fixed.

As usual, you can discuss the update in the discussion thread. We will announce when the update occurs at a later time.


Best Regards
Your Empire team
