Brave Warriors,
We start this July with a smaller content update, introducing a new commander set to the Empire and the upcoming Festival of the Lotus King!
The Festival of the Lotus King is upon us!
Once again the sultans of the Spice Islands have returned to the empire to celebrate the coronation of the new Lotus King. A grand festival will be held to honor their visit, with rewards of rare value granted to those who participate!
It will run from the 6th of July until 2nd of August
As with the other events, you can take part in the recurring events in order to gain points.
The more points you gain, the more rewards you’ll receive!
There will be new equipment, a new hero and new decorations available.

The plan is to release this update on the 3rd of July 2018. We will start with the update procedure early in the morning between 9:00 AM CEST and 11:00 AM CEST. The downtime is expected to be around 60 minutes long. Of course, food will be frozen during that longer downtime. But as always, do not take the aforementioned times as guaranteed, be aware of possible delays due to unforeseen circumstances.
