Topic: [118253] Update: Reworked Nomads

[-118253] CM Arcanine [None] :: April 20, 2015, 10:57 a.m.

Dear Community,

with our next update you can expect the following changes:


Nomad-Event revamped

• The Nomad event will receive a little make-over to make it more appealing
• The number of nomad camps will be limited to 3 or 4 camps
• The travelling time to the nomad camps will also be shorter than it is now
• If you beat a nomad camp, the camp will level up and there will be a short "attack again" cooldown which can be skipped. This cooldown time increases with the camp level
• If the nomad camp reaches the max level there will be an "attack again" timer showing you when you can attack it again
• The difficulty of these nomad camps will scale according to your level
• There will be tools that increase the khan-tablet output of nomad camps which can be bought from the Nomad Hunter
• There will be a new item set. Items from this set can be bought at the Nomad Trader and can be won in the Nobility Contests
• There are new better units available from the Nomad Trader

Nomad-Event: Nobility Contest

• In this event you will gain points for each khan tablet looted
• The first rewards are granted when a certain amount of points have been gained
• Rewards for the Top 'X' and Number 1 ranked player in the event will be distributed when the event ends

Combo Tools

• Combo tools have two different positive effects
• The effects are split into two and the second effect will always be a glory booster
• You can only use these tools in PVP (player versus player) fights
• There will be three different tools: the Tonnelon, Spiked Shield and the Wolf's Howl.
• These tools are only available through Prime Days

Wishing well

• There will be a wishing well for rubies that you can see outside of your castle
• This wishing well is a permanent building and starts off as a ruin that can be upgraded (the first upgrade stage only needs resources)
• You need to invest a certain amount of rubies and a special consumable (that you can buy in Prime Days) in order to get more rubies back after a certain waiting time
• The wishing well has 10 upgrade stages

Other changes

[*]The maximum amount of offers displayed on the screen has been decreased to 3 at a time and you are able to click through the offer slots with arrows
[*]The Gift Trader is now available to all players
[*]The homescreen has a "Don't show again" checkbox - if you check it, you won't see the homescreen until the next update
[*]In Point Events, the amount of points you need to reach for each reward category will be scaled according to the time the event is running





In this update, some bugs have been fixed once again.


You can discuss the update as usual HERE in the discussion thread!



When the update is taking place will be announced at a later date!

Best regards,
Your Empire-Team

Hi again everyone,

The update should occur at some point over the course of this afternoon. Right now, we're not one hundred percent on the time, but we want to make sure that everything is as polished as it can be for you guys before the release.

Apologies again for the delay,

Steve.
