fter the dust of another month of glorious battles has settled and the air has cleared, let's look back over what happened across the Empire this past month! Although the month started off quietly, things got off to a bang when the Herald announced that Alliances would be rewarded for joining together to combat the threat of the Foreign Empire, resulting in more intense battles, but great treasures for those who made it out alive. Towards the end of the month, some of the greatest minds in the land realised that the rare resources gathered from each of the kingdoms have been steadily becoming more and more valuable, and as such began to set up their own Laboratories across the land, moving them around monthly to keep business fresh. Be warned however, they won't work for more than one Alliance at a time, so you'll have to fight to claim them for yourself!
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" align="left"><img src="http://abload.de/img/stone_statuegxs1s.png" 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 Foreign Empire invaded our servers on multiple occasions, letting our brave warriors prove themselves as the superior fighters! The battles didn't end there however, with the vicious conquests of the Storm Islands raging on once more!

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:
- During last month, Grimbert tried to take his revenge on Leopold and conquer the Throne of Berimond! Leopold was in fact well prepared though, winning with 24 servers to 13. We all know how stubborn Grimbert can be, he will be back!
- A total of 82295 Lords and Ladies took part in the battle for the Throne of Berimond.
- 1,306 Blue towers were destroyed in May
- 1,233 Red towers were destroyed in May
- The fastest nation of Lions that destroyed the Blue Capital during the first edition? The Spanish, in around 106 hours
- The fastest nation of Bears that destroyed the Red Capital during the first edition? The International 1 crew, in around 105 hours
Other info:
- The Foreign Empire struck twice in May (and one onslaught is still ongoing). The total amount of glory points collected was 11,869,983,400
- In the longest Invasion in May, our masterminds registered a 0.1% loss of collected glory points, compared to the longest Invasion of April
- The total amount of cargo points collected was 288,312,850 with an increase of 5.3% compared to April. Good job sailors, those ships look well loaded
