Topic: [17351] Update: The Coast of Blades, Alliance Help & much more!

[-17351] CM Evoke [None] :: Jan. 28, 2015, 11:52 a.m.

Dear Community, In the coming update you expect the Following changes:

Event: The Coast of Blades

A huge event that goes by the name of The Coast of Blades will be starting soon
This event is available to players who are level 30 and above
The Coast of Blades is a single-player event with an exciting story to venture into
Once you've paid the entrance fee to the event, you'll enter a new world where you will prepare for battle
The objective of the event is to help Queen Namia defend the coast of blades, which belong to her. As a reward, there is a unique decoration
In addition, when fighting against the pirates, you're able to obtain pearls which can be traded in to Queen Namia for unique rewards
Just as in the other Kingdoms you can transfer raw materials. Alternatively, you can obtain materials by attacking the attackers bases
You must build tents to recruit more troops on the Island. You can also send troops from your main castle
In place of public order there is event morale. Building more tents for your soldiers reduces the morale. However, more decorations can bring this back up
The morale will determine how well your troops will fight in battle

Alliance help in recruiting

When you recruit troops, you can now ask your alliance for help
The help request is sent to all alliance members. All they have to do is click on "Help"
If enough alliance members have helped in the ongoing recruitment, 1 extra unit will be recruited. (Instead of 5 troops, you'll have 6)
The help costs nothing for alliance members
You can ask for help once for each recruitment. There is no limit to how often you can get help every day
The additional unit is not affected by "doubling for rubies." If you doubled in a recruitment of 5 troops, then ask for help, you'll still receive one extra unit

Easier to navigate the menu recruitment

You can now jump out of the recruitment menu of one castle, and directly enter the recruitment menu of another castle
You can now see if there are free slots in the recruitment of other castles
This way you can fill up recruitment slots more quickly in all of your castles

The Trading Metropolis

There are new landmarks in the Great Empire ready to be conquered
Similar to capitals, you can also build a special building with the trading metropolis
This building permanently increases food production for the whole alliance
The trading metropolis, like the capitals, can be conquered by other players

The Wheel of Fortune

There is a new event in which you can spin the Wheel of Fortune!
For spinning you need tickets, but every time the Wheel of Fortune appears, you'll receive a full set of tickets
There are plenty of great rewards up for grabs in the Wheel of Fortune
The more you spin the Wheel of Fortune, the better the jackpot will be
There is a version of the nobility contest which gives rewards for spinning the Wheel of Fortune
It costs Rubies to get spins for the Wheel of Fortune and you need 3 tickets per spin

Other Changes:

For low level players there is now an item in front of the castle that points out the outpost mechanic
There is now a "What's new?" dialogue that informs you about the latest news. The dialogue is displayed at every login, however you can choose to hide it until the next update arrives
New alliance ranks help you to assign members to special roles within the alliance , examined as a diplomat or a recruiter

Let's Discuss!

You can follow the discussion thread to discuss the update, post opinions and ask questions. As always, we'll announce here as soon as we know when the update will go live. However, we have to wait for approvals from Apple, Google and Amazon so the time can vary! But we will let you know.

We hope you enjoy all the changes!

Kindest Regards,
Rosie
