Brave Warrior's,

The weather outside may be getting colder by the day, but our Empire is really heating up! Here is a first glimpse of what you can expect in our October update! (More will be revealed over the month)

Longterm Point Event: Ha-Ha-Haaaalloween

It’s almost here, the most anticipated season of the year (besides Game of Thrones...), Halloween! Untold numbers of ghosts, zombies and clowns will hunt for the living, torture innocent doorbells and guzzle swee-he-he-heets!

Luckily we don’t have door bells in our Empire but instead some awesome loot for every blood soaked warrior who dares to participate in our upcoming long term point event from October 19th until November 17th.

As with the other events, you can take part in the recurring events (Samurai, Nomads, War of the Realms) in order to gain points.
The more points you gain, the more rewards you’ll receive!
There will be new equipment, new heroes, new decorations, new tools and new units available. BRA-HA-HA-AND new!

Equipment trader with Berimond invasion rewards

Berimond invasion is favored by many of our warriors, especially when it comes to the rewards (blue and red equipment set) you can get there.
Due to its limitation, we want to make these event rewards available in the equipment trader where you can buy them for rubies if the items are in stock.
You can buy them only once! If you bought them already you will not be able to buy them again.
