Nina- Head of Studios

Bruno- Creative Director

Peter- Art Team Lead


New Gemsets (project began with it):

First gem-set:


Second gem-set:


What can we expect from the gems?


Heroes from the event:

First hero-set:

One low-level hero and one high-level hero

Second hero-set:

Again one low-level hero and one high-level hero


Equipmentsets: With this design the idea was created that the Shapeshifter should wear maskes.


Dekoration:

High-Level decoration (dark magic) with strong public order

Low-Level decoration


Appearance of the tent of the Shapeshifter-Event:

Appearance of the castle in the attack screen:

Difference between the Shapeshifter event and the other events:

It is a PvP-Event

Two types of modes: One hardcore-mode and normal-mode

No consequence if players want to play PvP

Players do not have the possibility to see who they are attacking or against they are defending themselves

Opponent is choosen by the strength of the player

At the beginning of the events the ranking is organized by might points, after that you can rise or fall in the ranking. Every day you get new opponents chosen by the matchmaking system.

New Shops:

Two new shops, where you can buy new sets (see heroes and sets from the pages before) and other useful tools.


Hardcore-Mode

Here you can see effects you can enable (it is recommended not to enable all at once, because than it is more like a “Nightmare-Mode” than Hardcore-Mode). Depending on how many effects you have enable, you can get more points (more effects equals more a higher multiplier).


General Informations:

Appearance of the attacking setup:


Battle report received in the normal mode:



Attack in Hardcore-Mode:

This is because players can actually lose troops and tools in the Hardcore-Mode, while you cannot lose troops in the normal mode.

Higher wall and gate value, less combat strength for melee units


Battle report after playing in Hardcore-Mode:


Appearance of the own defence:

More questions about the shapeshifters and others:

Why should players be motivated to defend?

Can you lose honour?

Where is the event taking place (kingdom)?

Can you loot ressources?

Is it going to be part of the LTPE?

When will the event be introduced in the game?

Do you have any losses as defender?

Is it an one man event or an alliance event?

Does the alliance see, if a player gets attacked?

Is there the possibility, that you attack your own alliance members?

Does the event run alone or parallel with other events?

More questions/ Informations (not complete):

Unfortunately, one of the answers during our Q&A part of the broadcast was a bit misleading.

Even though we said yesterday that they will not have an effect, Hall of legends effects will work against Shapeshifter enemies. So, you will be able to use your 5th and 6th waves when attacking Shapeshifter targets. 

We ask for your understanding in this case, every new feature has a huge amount of documentation, and it is not easy to answer some specific questions when under pressure sitting in front of the camera on a live stream, without the possibility to check the answers in the specific moment.

Best regards,
Your Empire Family
