s another month in the kingdom passes, we reflect on the mayhem that occurred, and all the new discoveries that came with it. The constant carnage of the Battle for Berimond inspired the Empires medical professionals to bring their minds together and bring the Hospitals up to the technological standard of those in the Great Empire, helping more and more brave warriors get back on their feet and stuck into the battle. The violence didn't end there though, as the vicious Nomads returned to wreak havoc once more! Worry not though, the Nomad Hunter has adapted his arsenal to their new tactics, bringing even more tools to combat the invaders!



he World of Empire is full of colourful characters, devious villains and jolly competitions! With every passing month, friends and enemies, new and old, near and far pay your Kingdom a visit. Whether they're asking for your assistance, or trying to break down your castle walls and rustle up some mayhem, there's nothing quite like the thrill of our Events!

In this section we'll fly the banners and sound the horns for the bravest warriors in all the Empire,showing you just how well everyone did in our monthly events; <img src="http://abload.de/img/stone_statuereverseb9jrt.png&quot; align="left"><img src="http://abload.de/img/stone_statuegxs1s.png&quot; align="right"> The Storm Islands and the Invasion of the Foreign Empire, with more to follow as epic battles unfold across the world.

This past month, the Storm Islands saw relentless battles for Aquamarine, boats being shattered and islands under siege, whilst the Foreign Empire invaded our servers, letting our brave warriors prove themselves as the superior fighters!





ou play, you fight, you win and you lose. You reach some personal goals and achieve great results for yourselves and your alliances.
Every day million of players recruit strong armies, repair damage caused by epic battles, share resources and level up. We decided to share some global achievements with you that the Empire world experienced last month:

Every day stats:

• Leopold and Grimbert clearly had some unresolved issues, they met twice to fight for the Throne of Berimond in April! Leopold won by far with 42-28, but it seems like Grimbert is up for revenge!
  
• A total of 132549 Lords and Ladies took part in the battle for the Throne of Berimond.
• 2,238 Blue towers were destroyed in April
• 2,072 Red towers were destroyed in April
• The fastest nation of Lions destroying the Blue Capital during the first edition? The French, in around 103 hours
• The fastest nation of Bears destroying the Red Capital during the first edition? The Russians, in around 99 hours
• In the second edition, shorter than the previous ones, only the Italians reached one of the capitals and entered the last man standing mode. In detail, the Italian blue capital was destroyed in 100 hours

Other info:

• The Foreign Empire struck twice in April (and one onslaught is still ongoing). The total amount of glory points collected was 7,184,892,248
• The total amount of cargo points collected was 273,799,650 with a loss of 11,8% compared to March. We like to think the weather conditions were not optimal to sail in April

This month's suggestions are:

Eric 768's- My Story by Eric768 - A classic post from one of our key community figures. Fantastic read!

The-Dragons-Inn - Nothing would be complete without a nice, cosy inn to hang out in after a long day of battle!
