Hey warriors,

As you have already noticed, there will be sometimes monthly interim updates and this (almost) Mid-February update contains the following old and new features:

Berimond Invasion Returns!

The Berimond kingdom is not enough for our long-term usurpers Leopold III. and Grimbert. After getting tired of destroying just one kingdom for the sake of the throne, they extend their craving for reputation to the Great Empire again! Of course, our Emperor is not amused about this Invasion and it is your chance now to win his favor. In short, kick them out!

The event starts on the 20.02.2018 and ends on the 24.02.2018

Event adjustments: 

• Attacking Berimond camps will bring you more Reputation points. You can get between 100 and 200 reputation points depending on the level of camp you defeated. 
  
• We also adjusted the strength of Berimond camps making them easier to defeat. As Gallantry points are connected to the strength of the camp, the gallantry gain will also drop a bit. We also lowered the required amount of milestones in the long term point event (such as the Ice Championship) during the Berimond invasion event to balance the decreased gallantry gain. So, you will need to use almost the same effort in order to get the same amount of Winter championship points. 

And oooofffff course, your troubles shall not fail, brand new rewards are waiting to be claimed by you! Please have a look at our 2 new Berimond themed equipment sets and decoration:

King's Crypt, 285 Public order

Alliance tournament returns as well!

What is happening in the Empire?! Yes, rub your eyes in disbelief, it is true...not only is the Berimond Invasions returning, but also our beloved Alliance Tournament!

The event starts on the 28.02.2018 and will end on the 2nd of March

If you have forgotten what this event is about, let us wrap it up real quick:

• Your goal is to get glory points, easy huh?

• You win? You lose? Every glory point counts in this tournament!

• Obviously, your troops have to clash with your enemy during the tournament. Everything has to happen during this event. If you send your troops while the event is still running but hit your target after the event runs out, the glory points do not count towards the tournament.

• Glory points which are obtained by all alliance members are added up to form the Alliance glory points.

• If you leave or are kicked out of your alliance, you can no longer participate in the event. The points you won for your previous alliance will remain in that alliance. The event camp will no longer be visible to you, even if you join another alliance.

The plan is to release the update on 19th of February 2018. The downtime is planned to be ~ 60 minutes. But as always, do not take this as guaranteed, be aware of possible delays due to unforeseen circumstances.

Hey everyone,

The update is starting!

Hey everyone,

Unfortunately, we have had to cancel the iteration of the alliance tournament mentioned above - this is due to an error in the rewards - in the next update, the alliance tournament will be reworked, and as such, the tournament described above will not happen - you will still have an opportunity to compete for the new rewards - just in the new reworked version - more information about this will be coming later today.

Cheers,

Angus
