Dear Community,
Over the past months you, the fiercest warriors in our great Empire, have proven yourself worthy and tested your strength in ferocious and legendary battles. The feats you’ve accomplished are themselves a reason to celebrate! But this August, there’s something that we want to celebrate together with you. To be honest, the term “something” does not quite do it justice, because it only happens once during a year.
We want to celebrate our 7th anniversary with you and we will do so with a special event that shall be fittingly known as The Creation Day Conflict!
This event will be a tournament which will be characterized by enabling everyone to participate in it! Yes, everyone and this also means that this time around even our “smaller” players will have a big impact on this event. How big of an impact might you ask? Well, we will talk about the details for this later in our section called “How does this event work?”. We will also take a closer look on how rewards will be dealt with in this event and talk about a special twist for the Creation Day Conflict and more throughout this announcement, but without further ado, let’s jump right into the action, shall we!?
How does this event work?
The Creation Day Conflict will be our big anniversary event which will be held from the 14th of August until the 5th of September.
In contrast to our previous Battle of Nation events of the last months, there will be no knockout-rounds/-phases for this one. This means that all players (from level 10 onwards), all alliances and all servers will be able to celebrate our birthday together!
There will also be quite the different conditions for this event too, so let’s take a quick look at the event structure of the Creation Day Conflict:
| Round | Date | Description |
| 1 | 14th of August - 17th of August | Defeat Robber Baron Castles |
| 2 | 17th of August - 2oth of August | Defeat Samurai Camps |
| 3 | 20th of August - 21st of August | Earn glory in PvP Fights (against other players) |
| 4 | 21st of August - 23rd of August | Earn gallantry points |
| 5 | 23rd of August - 24th of August | Amount/Number of defense units killed in real PvP fights |
| 6 | 24th of August - 27th of August | Amount of rubies you spend |
| 7 | 27th of August - 30th of August | Amount of Khan Tablets looted |
| 8 | 30th of August - 3rd of September | Amount of won fights against foreign invader castles |
| 9 | 3rd of September - 4th of September | Number of wood (resource) looted in PVP fights |
| 10 | 4th of September - 5th of September | Number of Coins looted from Samurai camps |
So everyone (level 10 onwards) will be able to participate at all times during those 10 rounds of the event. As mentioned previously there will be no knockout-round system this time around, but instead, one that will work out like this:
It will be a direct server vs. server tournament system where servers will always be pitted against each other as follows. The server on rank 1 against the server on rank 2, the server on rank 3 against the server on rank 4, the server on rank 5 against the server on rank 6 and so on and so forth. This way of determining who’s playing against whom will be a fix one, meaning that it’ll always be the first against the second, etc. Let us give you an example of this:
Let’s say DE1 is currently on rank 1, FR1 on rank 2, RU1 on rank 3 and PL1 on rank 4. If RU1 ascends to rank 2 and FR1 drops down to rank 3, while DE1 and PL1 can maintain their ranks, then the following lineup would apply for the next rounds:
DE 1 on rank 1 vs RU1 on rank 2
FR1 on rank 3 vs. PL1 on rank 4
A different calculation
There will also be a change to the calculation of points for the Creation Day Conflict! First and foremost there will be three so-called level-brackets which are divided into the following sections:
- Level bracket 1: Player Level 10-69
- Level bracket 2: Player Level 70 to Player Legend-Level 499
- Level bracket 3: Player Legend-Level 500+
Normally we would base our rankings on the event-specific points that you achieved during a respective Battle of Nations period. But for this event we would proceed with a different calculation that works as the following example will show you:
Example for round 1 - DE1 vs FR1
We got DE1 vs FR1 competing against each other:
- DE1 players of the level bracket 1 were better than the FR1 players of the level bracket 1
- FR1 players of the level bracket 2 were better than the DE1 players of the level bracket 2
- FR1 players of the level bracket 3 were better than the DE1 players of the level bracket 3
FR1 was able to win 2 out of 3 level brackets and thus was able to defeat DE1 in the first round. FR1 will, therefore, get 1 point for their rankings.
So in order to win a direct server competition, the respective server will have to win in (minimum) 2 out of 3 of the set level-brackets.
Low levels for the win!
Now, let us talk about the way that we are going to focus more on our low-level players for this event. Similar to our aforementioned level bracket 1, players from level 10 to level 69 will make a big impact on this event, specifically on this event’s alliance rankings:
The Creation Day Conflict will include a Top-Alliance-Competition. Only the players from level 10 to level 69 will be able to generate points for their alliances/the alliance ranking.
So to all of the players level 70+ (“+” meaning legendary levels): You can help out your “smaller” members as much as you can, just the same way as you can normally in the game. You can send the troops, you can send them resources, you can send them tools, aid them in their defense, etc.
Of course, helping your members out is appreciated by everyone, but only as long as they don’t have an unfair advantage over others by somewhat dishonest means. In order to prevent unfair competition as much as we can, we are going to have some restrictions for this event:
- Alliance members will at one point be registered to their alliance the same way we did during the previous Battle of Nations events.
- That means alliance members won’t get points by attacking other members of their alliance (it will also not be possible to get points from attacking alliance members, who specifically left with the intention to avoid that restriction)
- Furthermore, players from the level bracket 10-69 will at one point be registered in this bracket (10-69) for the whole duration of the event. Only those players will be able to receive the Top-5 alliance rewards.
- There will also be special restrictions for the PvP fights/conditions of the Creation Day Conflict.
- Only winning attacks on the main castle in the Green Kingdom will count
- attacks on outposts or monuments won’t count
- If the attacker level is below 70, then he can only attack other players (defenders) with a maximum of 10 levels lower - 30 levels higher than himself
- If the attacker level is above 70, then he can only attack other players (defenders) of above level 70 as well
- If the latter requirement is met, then the defender’s level may only range from maximum 100 legendary levels below - 100 legendary levels above the attacker’s level
- If the attacker level is ranging from 10-69, then the attacker has to send out a minimum of 100 troops
- if the attacker level is above level 70, then the attacker has to send out a minimum of 300 troops
- The number of attacker units lost and the amount of defender units lost during a fight has to be higher than 0
- Only winning attacks on the main castle in the Green Kingdom will count
You can only generate points for the event if the previously mentioned conditions are met. At the end of the event (after the last of the 10 rounds is over), the Top-5 alliances per server will be determined. We will do this with the help of the following point calculation system:
After each round we will take a look at the points that alliances could make for the respective round’s tasks and distribute ranking points as follows:
- 1st alliance → 5 points
- 2nd alliance → 4 points
- 3rd alliance → 3 points
- 4th alliance → 2 points
- 5th alliance → 1 point
By applying this point calculation system for the alliance competition, we want to mitigate point gaps which could occur between for example one of the bigger alliances with more level 10-69 players on the first place (e.g. 1.912.201 event points) and one of the smaller alliances with level 10-69 players on the second place (e.g. 508.920 event points).
For this point calculation, we take the total sum of points, that the players of this level bracket were able to generate for their alliance. This means, that the more players are contributing during this time and the more points they can make, the better their alliance ranking will be.
What can I win?
Similar to what you know from our previous Battle of Nations events, there will be a global server distribution of the rewards and also one distribution for the previously mentioned Top-5 alliances per server, of our alliance competition.
The following list will show you the rewards that you will get after the last round of the Creation Day Conflict event:
| Rank 1 | Reward level 70+ | Goddess of nature decoration (450 PO), Base food production build item level 10 x 2 |
| Rank 1 | Reward level 10-69+ | Goddess of nature decoration (330 PO) |
| Rank 2 | Reward level 70+ | Goddess of nature decoration (410 PO), Base food production build item level 9 x 2 |
| Rank 2 | Reward level 10-69+ | Goddess of nature decoration (310 PO) |
| Rank 3 | Reward level 70+ | Goddess of nature decoration (390 PO), Base food production build item level 8 x 2 |
| Rank 3 | Reward level 10-69+ | Goddess of nature decoration (290 PO) |
| Rank 4 | Reward level 70+ | Goddess of nature decoration (370 PO), Base food production build item level 7 x 2 |
| Rank 4 | Reward level 10-69+ | Goddess of nature decoration (270 PO) |
| Rank 5 | Reward level 70+ | Goddess of nature decoration (350 PO), Base food production build item level 7 x 1 |
| Rank 5 | Reward level 10-69+ | Goddess of nature decoration (250 PO) |
| Rank 6-10 | Reward level 70+ | Shield wall x 300, Heavy ram x 200, Breaching tower x 200 |
| Rank 6-10 | Reward level 10-69+ | Cast iron mantlet x 300, Iron ram x 200, Siege tower x 200 |
| Rank 11+ | Reward level 70+ | Shield wall x 200, Heavy ram x 100, Breaching tower x 100 |
| Rank 11+ | Reward level 10-69+ | Cast iron mantlet x 200, Iron ram x 100, Siege tower x 100 |
| Top 5 Alliance | Reward level 10-69 | Grail of the defensive rock decoration (500 PO) |
The Creation Day Conflict Decorations:
As you can see in the previous list, there will be two decorations given out to the players. To clarify any misconceptions that might come up: The decoration “Goddess of Nature” will be given out to the players that reached one of the several reward ranks. The respective public order will, therefore, be based on the event rank that those servers/players reach as well as on their level. To give you an example:
- Players with level 70+ and who made it to rank #1 will get said decoration with a public order of 450
- Players with level 70+ and who made it to rank #5 will get said decoration with a public order of 350
The decoration for the Top-5 alliances per server will be the decoration “Grail of the defensive Rock” with an awesome amount of 500 public order. This decoration will only be rewarded to all players who got registered in the level bracket of 10 - 69 (at the beginning of the event). So if a player who got registered in this level bracket would happen to reach level 70+, then he’d still be eligible to be rewarded with this decoration (as long as his alliance can make it to the Top-5 of his server of course).
Important:
There will be several registrations at the beginning of this event. Those registrations will be similar to the way we did them during our previous Battle of Nations (“The Battle for Fury’s Blade” and “The Kingdoms Cup”):
As mentioned before, we are going to register all players in the level-range of level 10 - level 69, so if such a player were to reach level 70+ they’d still be eligible to receive the level 10 - level 69 rewards. But if you happen to be below or above that range at the time of our registration, then you would be excluded from that bracket (and thus also from the alliance competition).
The loot you have to collect on the last round for the Samurai Invasion in Empire and Nomad Invasion in Empire: Four Kingdoms, will have their last reset on the 5th of September at 1:00 AM CEST, meaning that this is the time were we will count the last relevant loot for the last round ranking. So make sure to finish your attacks before that.

due to the feedback that we got from some of you, we took a deeper look into our alliance rankings again and saw that the alliance rankings for the Creation Day Conflict were a little bit off. The process of deducing data from our data base (the one where the points for the alliance rankings are collected) wasn't including all the parameters that we were looking for, due to a technical error.
This specifically means, that some alliances got an incorrect amount of points, because our level 10 - level 69 filter wasn't working as intended. It is worth mentioning that this did not apply to all alliances, but nevertheless it still falsifies a correct global Top-5 alliance ranking.
We deeply apologize for this inconvenient issue, but we were able to correct this technical error and we will provide you with the correct intermediate alliance rankings # 2 today!
This will happen in accordance with today's matchday 7 results, which we will be communicating with you through our Community Hub, as well as in the comment section of the initial Creation Day Conflict Announcement, which you can find HERE.
Best regards,
Your Empire Family

unfortunately there's going to be a small change to the Top 1 Reward decoration, namely to the amount of it's public order:
It was announced as the "Goddess of nature" decoration with 450 public order, but the correct amoung of public order for this one would've been 430. As a consequence of this, we decided to change the Top 1 Reward decoration to the "Grail of the defensive rock" decoration with a public order of 500!
We apologize for this slight change in our Top 1 reward for the Creation Day conflict and for any difficulties connected to it.
Best regards,
Your Empire Family
