Fierce Warriors

as you all know, Spring has arrived and it's getting warmer by the day, but not only the temperature is rising. 
Countless enemies are preparing for a huge war, as if they would have awakened after a long and deep hibernation. 

Make sure that their next sleep is going to be an eternal one and prepare for the upcoming epic battles in the next special tournament, known as the Spring Showdown! 

What is the Spring Showdown?
The Spring Showdown is our next edition of the server vs server competitive tournament after the Winter Assault event.
It will be an additional event to the Spring Nights Festival. All lords and ladies of a server need to fight bravely in the War of Realms, Nomad Invasion/Khan's Revenge, Bloodcrows and Samurai and you will be generously rewarded for your effort on the battlefield. Fight alongside your server mates and get through the hail of gifts!

When will this event happen?

• The Spring Showdown event will start on the 27th of March and end on the 13th of April. 

How will it work?

• All Empire servers will participate in the Spring Showdown. They will compete all together and will be ranked according to the number of points they earn.

• There will be only one type of ranking which will be based on the Spring Nights Festival points. So, this time we will consider only long-term point event points as success criteria.

• The placement of your server in the ranking will be calculated as an average of the Spring Nights Festival points collected by the most active 25% of the players of your server, which will then be compared. This makes the whole event more fair and smaller servers can easily compete against bigger ones. This calculation was defined as proved to be the most balanced one, considering servers of many different sizes and avoiding an unfair challenge.
  

How can I win?

• You can win intermediate rewards, and a final reward:

• The intermediate reward will be given after each separate invasion and will be based on the points the server gets during the corresponding event. Remember, that we take into account only Spring Nights Festival points.
  For example, for the Bloodcrow invasion, the intermediate result will show the Spring Nights Festival points earned while the Bloodcrow invasion was active.

• Final reward will be given after the Samurai Invasion.

• There will be three types of rewards you can be awarded by competing with other servers: bronze, silver, and gold.

• If your server finishes one of the Invasions among the 3 best performing servers, each player of your server will get a gold prize.

• If your server was strong enough to be placed between 4th and 8th rank, each player of these 5 servers will get the silver reward.

• Players from all other servers will get the bronze prize.

• You can win one of the rewards above after every Invasion. Note: If the event ends during a weekend we won’t be able to send the rewards on the same day and all rewards will be granted on the closest Monday in this case.

• You will be able to find the ranking of top servers on the forum the day after every invasion ends (check the note above for special cases).

• We also prepared an awesome reward for final results of our marvelous Spring Showdown event.

What can I win?

• Every player from the server of the corresponding ranking group will get the stated reward:

After last SAMURAI INVASION (9th-13th of April) event players will get the following final rewards:

Top 3 servers:

• All players from top 3 servers

Other servers:

• All players from these servers will get decoration "Tamer of wolves" with 260 Public order, 100 000 wood, and 100 000 stone.

Why should I participate in Spring Showdown?

First of all is to prove your power to King Eric the Artisan and all other servers. On the other hand, you can earn awesome boosters and decoration which might help you to get through Spring Nights Festival. Show all invaders what your true nature is like. 

That is all. Just remember - EVERY POINT COUNTS!

Your Empire Family!
