for Usbeorn:
In normal TG battles you'll never see too strong AI if you keep Win/Lose ratio under control (that is, don't fight in full AP). |
for Lord Robai:
Well I usually use mid AP (sword, shield and amulet of luck) but yeah I have face the said stacks before.. Probably time to intentionally reduce them. |
hard to follow translated announcement.
small query, does skill potion effect work in Caravan Event ? |
for eddy_immanuel:
4) Action magic potions fractions apply to fighting in this task
According to no.4, yes. |
| Thanks Usbeorn :) |
Ironically, I got ambushed by a real player after defeating the AI ambush :/
The difficulty fluctuates much, if you lose 2-3 battles, the next battle must be very easy. |
| if ambushing can you ambush ai or just real players? I was waiting to ambush for like 5 min but really wanted to play event so I just took a caravan instead. Then fought AI to get the experience |
What kind of an event is this?
I am since recent combat level 15, since the event gives thief points I went for ambush. A maxed AP level 15 dwarf player appears, somehow I win, but get this:
As the winner I get 6117 exp, 600 gold, 1 TG and 2.61 sp
and the loser gets 6369 exp and 2,31 sp.
How come the losing side gets more exp then the winner? What is this?
You can watch the battle ofcourse only after the event:

Pumped character!
Additional exp: 17.1%
this is why, the losing side have pumped character |
for Lawton:
That is not the event. It's just a side bonus (or not - depending on how you look at it). Any attempts doing TG (attacker) will not be considered as doing the event and with TG 2, it's not worth doing it.
Btw since you being the attacker does not fall within the event, battle reviews for attackers (TG between humans) can be viewed and you're not max AP. More AP equivalent to more FSP and EXP, it has been this way for nearly all events. |
| Or are you, my bad there, didn't notice he was pumped. |
Even if he is a pumped character and gets additional exp, it still does not explain why the losing side would get more exp. On a 1 vs 1 with same combat level I have never seen this happen.
Here I'll break it into mathematics: 6369/117,1 *100 = 5439 exp, meaning this is what an unpumped char would then get for this battle, as if.
It seems to me that pumped character seems to be getting like 65% more exp instead of only the 17,1% |
| And it really takes a long time when you go for caravan escort ambush and somehow I always get a player, or is there just no AI with this part? |
Can anyone give me a good reason for doing abushes during this Event.
You will not get any reard for the Event and the Players on the map travel in Max ap....
isn`t it smarter to ambush when the Event is over? |
| How to ambush? Just set it up from empire capital? Wouldn't I then risk ambushing the usual AI caravan and waste a full art battle? |
for Slust:
No, there is a different ambush option for only event caravans.
for Boozy_Bosco:
You can still do the normal ambushing... yeah true, gold-wise it is not beneficial because of max ap, but you get better exp and fsp and also a better win rate... also, you sometimes can get armaments.
for Lawton:
While ambushing you can only ambush a real player, that's the whole point of this event... imagine this being like the pirate event and YOU are acting as the pirate when ambushing. It is probably taking long because of your higher CL, or maybe because you are not planning where to ambush well. Go to the event page and check what gives the most profit, and then ambush a location that is on the way to the best paying location.
@72
In this even losing side, whether thief of caravan is getting very decent exp and fsp, that's just how it is and I very much like it.:) |
You can ambush when you are standing in capitol, on map you then can select from two options for ambush either the normal thieving ambush or ambush caravan escort of the event. So far I have only met real players while doing the caravan escort ambush, it seems there is no AI for it, if anyone can confirm this please do.
The events sais: Empire award characters depending on the number of victories. Separately will be marked by the heroes who have earned the highest number of gold by selling the transported resources. In the road!
So an ambush victory is also a victory plus you get TG points. But if there really is no AI for the ambushing part then the event is broken for this part, this will mean always a max AP player, this part is ok, but after a loss you will have to wait for an hour before you may start ambushing again. And that will take too long to be able to do all 72 event battles as ambush, as usual admins haven't really given it much thought. |
it seems there is no AI for it, if anyone can confirm this please do.
Yeah, try reading #76 ;)

NO! Only the event victories will count for your reward! So only when you are guarding, when you ambush it doesn't count.
PS: In one day you can do 12 guarding caravans and unlimited ambushing caravans. |
So the ambushing part do not count into the 12 battles a day?
Well I just tried doing an escort after losing an ambush and have to wait for an hour to be able to ambush again. Lost to a charmer elf player with a running forest brethren that I had delayed but somehow kept on getting morale after morale. What's worse, now I got to walk all the way back into the capitol to be able to participate in the event again. Still haven't faced an AI in this event. |
So let me conclude this event. (Read if you are not 100% sure what the event is about)
- The event is split into two parts: Transporting caravans, and ambushing real players who transport them
- The more important of the two is transporting, for which you have a limited number of attempts per day(12); the event reward(possibly a survilurg art or a new set type art) depends ONLY on the score you have while transporting
- The ambushing part of the event is just a bonus, you always ambush real players who are transporting caravans. If you win, you get CL*40 gold, the same amount you get on a caravan transport victory
- When traveling, you can be ambushed either by AI plunderers, or real players with the same AP restrictions as yourself, defeating them would also give you CL*40 gold
- You can totally skip the ambushing part of the event if you want to, mainly because it is quite expensive
- If you wish to ambush, you have unlimited attempts per day to do so, however, you have to wait if you lose for 1 hour(42 min if you have ABC)
- The main event(transporting) is profitable and you should definitely participate in it, it is absolutely not affected by whether you ambush or not
- If you have played the pirate event this caravan event is pretty much the same thing, except now you travel on land, there are no canons involved, you face normal creatures, and sometimes you may be ambushed by real players(1 in 10 chance for the latter)
- Also, there are three different places you can sell the caravan goods to unlike the pirate event, of course you need to find which place and goods give the best profit |
