A kingdom is not built in a day and neither is a great game and an even better community. Ten years ago we started our journey with Goodgame Studios and soon after with King Eric. It’s been a long road with its ups and downs but here we are today after ten years and we are going to celebrate!
Today you will be able to log in and claim our Kingly Gift to you. This is a 24 hour 100% booster for our Festival of the Lotus King that has started today. It is only available until the 30th of August so don’t delay too long. It’s not going to be available again!
You can also join in on our festivities on Facebook where we will be hosting the Cake Off Bake Off Challenge, where you the players can vote for the ingredients we are using to make the Ultimate Birthday Cake. We will also be offering some prizes there so please check it out.
The King sits at the great table surrounded by his assembled War Council to discuss the current challenges that his realms have to face. The barbaric hordes of invading forces only grow more ferocious by the day and they have recently found another ally in the despicably fiendish Daimyo. Already the forges are working day and night, feverishly producing the greatest artifacts of war, those bold new inventions that are the Relics… but are they enough to hold the defense against this wave of darkness and hate?
With a dull thump the heavy oaken doors of the council chamber are thrown open much to the chagrin of its occupants: “What manner of insolent man would dare to enter this most secret of meetings without an invitation?” shouted the King. “One that has seen things that my lords would not believe. I saw the Relics not for what they are, but for what they could be. I have returned to humbly share my wisdom with you my liege, for it is due to my inventions and the way of scientific tinkering that we shall prevail in this darkest of hours against our enemies!” spoke the guest.
He bent over the table unfolding innumerable parchments and scrolls, presenting them to the King and the War Council. Showing to the stunned audience fantastic blueprints of both alchemical and mechanical devices. They look like quite the daring inventions, yet they might be the only way to fend of the invaders.
“So be it then. Enlighten us with your wisdom old man!” said King Eric.
Blueprint 01842490 - Codename: The Relicus
The Relicus - Specifications:
- “My invention of a lifetime needs to be constructible like every other building. Our lords and ladies will, therefore, be able to commission their Relicus-building just the same way that they do with their other buildings - in their main castle! “
- “This building will unlock the secrets to upgrade our relics for relic shards, but only for the highest-ranking officers among their peers. Yet, these brave lords and ladies will not only be able to increase the overall effect strength of their relics. No, no, no, no! The number of shards which they would receive from the dismantling of the relic equipment will increase as well! Oh and I’ll make sure that all relic equipment types will be upgradable: equipment, heroes, gems! Eureka!”
- “But, but… we need something to fuel this building’s upgrades as well… Kingdom resources shall suffice for the first upgrades of this building. But the most powerful upgrades of it will have to rely on additional construction & upgrade tokens!”
Blueprint 01842490 - Codename: Armory
The Armory - Specifications:
- “Our lords and ladies need more storage for their newly forged and upgraded relics. One of my newest relic building inventions is the ideal tool for their war engine: the Armory will provide them with enough storage to store more equipment and gems in these perilous times of war!“
- “Thanks to my far-sighted concept, this building will be upgradeable as well, by the help of upgrade and/or construction tokens. So, the more upgrades this building receives, the more storage our lords and ladies will have for their equipment and gems!”
- “Our most efficient officers will be able to build the armory from military rank 30 onwards!”
The Magical Metamorphosis - August 2019
This month's magical metamorphosis provides our lords and ladies with a jagged bastion that’s drenched in blood… or in a rather blood-like crimson color at the very least! The magical metamorphosis also takes a hold of our main castles and transforms some of the buildings into a swashbuckling and piracy committing version, Yaarrrrrrrr!
Additional Royal Proclamations
King Eric furthermore proclaims the following commands to come into force:
- The movement of stationed tools - in regards to the number of tools- shall henceforth be unlimited!
- Against the objections of environmental activists, the subjects of our realms are now officially allowed and able to destroy the Willow of Experience.
- Our lords and ladies shall from this day henceforth be able to directly select their last Commander/Castellan with only one click since they’ll be able to switch from the first to the last and vice versa. Furthermore, a click on the right selection arrow will show you the next 10 commanders instead of only the next individual one.
- There shall also be an adjustment to the overall HUD of our lords and ladies game. Whereas before one had to click on icons in order to fold out the secondary layer of HUD buttons, now it only takes one to hover the mouse cursor over the respective item and - by means of magic and engineering - the second layer will unfold without clicking whatsoever:
