Topic: [18283] Update: Boost Your Alliance and Fight The Nomads!

[-18283] CM Evoke [None] :: Aug. 24, 2015, 12:45 p.m.

magine a world without war, sorrow or greed… a tranquil world, where you can hear the buzzing of bees and children running happily over wide green fields, a perfect scene… unfortunately, this is a rarity and may prove elusive in our Four Kingdoms...

Far east a nomadic tribe is raising children on the battlefield, trained to defend their king and homeland. Now, as fully fledged warriors, they have set their sights upon what they believe to be their true homeland...our Great Empire and everything that comes with it!

Lords and Ladies, recruit your troops, the scouts have spotted the fearless Nomad army marching towards our kingdoms. Put a stop to their Invasion and fight for what belongs to you!

Dear community,

in our next update you can enjoy the following new features:

New Event: Nomad Invasion

This new short term event is available from Level 6.
A herald in front of your castle asks you for help in expelling the invaders.
On the world map there are nomad camps of various levels.
The number of nomad camps will be limited to 3 or 4 camps.
The levels of the nomad camp which you will see depend on the level of the player, so that players in each level range can participate. That means you will see only nomad camps with an appropriate level to your own.
If you beat a nomad camp, the camp will level up and there will be a short "attack. again" cooldown which can be skipped. This cooldown time increases with the camp level.
If the nomad camp reaches the max level there will be an "attack again" timer showing you when you can attack it again.
You can also unlock new achievements for this event.

Nomad Invasion - Rewards and Khan Tablets:

Defeating the nomad camps grant you Khan tablets in addition to the usual resources, coins and equipment.
These Khan tablets can be traded with the herald for valuable rewards.
The higher the level of the nomad camp, the more tablets you’ll get.
Khan tablets can only be looted and not bought.
If the event is over, all collected Khan tablets remain until the next time it runs, so you can spend them at a later date.
Khan tablets can be swapped for equipment, tools, units and decorations.
The nomad invasion also includes a point event for single players and alliances.
When you loot khan tablets, you get event contest points for yourself and your alliance.

Nomad Invasion - Nobility Contest

Based on the Khan tablets looted, you can receive additional rewards.
In this event you will gain points for each Khan tablet looted.
The first rewards are granted when a certain amount of points have been gained.
Some rewards are credited immediately after the required amount of points are collected, rewards for Top X and Top 1 however, are distributed after the event ends.
You can see your current rank in the event, but cannot see other players' points.

Nomad Invasion - The Nomad Hunter

The herald of the Invasion and the Nomad Hunter offer you ways to stand tall against the Nomads.
There will be tools that increase the Khan tablet output of nomad camps which can be bought from the Nomad Hunter.
There is also a nomad item set that can be bought at the Herald of the Invasion (for Khan tablets) or won in the Nobility Contests.

Temporary Alliance Boosters

Along with the regular Alliance Bonuses, we will introduce new ones that can be activated temporarily.
These are intended for large alliances that have an overstocked storage of alliance funds, and are therefore only available to alliances with a certain maximum number of members (25, 35 and 45).
The effects available are: More glory for alliance members in attacks, faster support travel speed, a combat strength bonus for attacks and a combat strength bonus in defense.
All of these effects can only be activated for a short period of time, making it better to use them for actions that the alliance are participating in together!

Wheel of Fortune Optimization

The Wheel of Fortune event has been slightly optimized.
Among other things you now have the chance to obtain the Mighty Crystal Palace (430 PO) decoration for winning the Wheel of Fortune Nobility Contest.

New Rewards for War of the Realms

You can now win new rewards - a new item set ("Armor of the Foreign Warlord") and a decoration ("Well Of Darkness") (325 PO) specially designed for the War of the Realms event.

Berimond Changes

The initial Protection Mode will now last 1 hour, due to an overall time reduction of the Berimond event.

You can ask questions about the update as usual HERE in this Thread.

When the update is taking place will be announced at a later date!

Best regards,
Your E4K-Team

Hey guys,

Due to some unexpected technical issues in the publishing process for the Amazon Store, the update will not be available to our Amazon players at this time.

Unfortunately, this means given the incompatibility of the new version with the old one, access to the game won't be possible for Amazon players until the update is available.

These issues were impossible to prevent and we can assure you, we’re working with our utmost effort to resolve this in the shortest time possible so that you may also enjoy this update.

Our sincerest apologies for the inconveniences and as always we will keep you informed.
