This year's winter has been unusually warm. Even when Santa Claus and the Snow Maiden appeared on the eve of the New Year holidays, the streets still lay bare, begging for snow. Only one mountain valley, located at the very edge of the vast imperial lands, was honoured with a snow-white carpet. This was the same mountain where, exactly one year ago, the Grinch's cowardly shadow hid in a gloomy cave. You'd rightly wonder if these two events were connected, wouldn't you? One may and should expect anything from such a treacherous villain. It was worth sending a few small assault squads there, if only just to be safe.
Lords and Ladies, fearless leaders! New Year's Eve is very close, which means the traditional New Year's Eve enemy is hiding nearby. His shadow appeared again in the same place he was defeated year, and with even greater anger began to carry out its insidious plans. But they are not destined to come true, because the Leaders' Guild is wide awake and always ready to repel the enemy!
Combat instructions:
- All heroes of the 5th combat level or above are allowed to take part in these fights;
- Only stacks of units from Leaders’ Guild training and accomplishments can be used;
- Limits on units and stack sizes apply as per the level conferred by Leaders’ guild;
- Battles do not involve the hero. Artifacts and talents have no effect, as a result. Auto-play can be enabled after troop settlement;
- Heroes do not gain experience or faction skill points. Artifacts do not lose durability;
- There are 30 main and 20 additional levels. The composition and number of enemy units at each level will be the same for every hero;
- At level 30, intelligence reports claim that heroes will meet the Grinch in its lair;
- Victory at each level grants a valuable reward which depends on the level;
- On day one, only 10 levels of difficulty are unlocked. 10 more levels will be unlocked every day since;
- Heroes of successful military clans who distinguish themselves will be given special rewards. Rewards will be based on the overall clan ranking. Clan rank will be based on overall score which is the sum of each clan member’s score. Each hero’s score is equal to the sum of the levels which the hero has been victorious in (for example, victories at levels 1, 2 and 3 grant a hero 1+2+3=6 points). Victories at additional levels count as well;
- Clan members’ score will contribute towards the clan score if they contribute at least 15 points to the clan;
- If the hero is evicted or leaves his military clan, the clan would lose his contribution to the score. If the same member re-joins, the lost points are returned;
- No one will be able to leave their military clan on the last day of the event;
- Admission to military clans during the event is limited to 3 lords/ladies per day;
- This event will last 10 days. January 3 will be the last day.
[Information] For those who joined/changed/planning to change their battle clan during the event, battles for which points were not added to clan score will have to be replayed to contribute the corresponding points towards the clan. The reward for previously completed levels will not be given again. The "Reset" button will appear for those heroes who have not contributed the maximum possible clan points.
Moreover, Warlord Grammith has announced support by provisioning both common and uncommon stacks of followers which all heroes can have the option of leading in exchange for gold. Heroes also have a one-time option to lead Infiltrators, Leprechauns, Ascetics, Punishers and Black knights.
Empire is counting on it’s brave heroes for the success of this operation, and hence, every fifth win will grant 1 part of Imperial Sword. No more than 10 parts will be given cumulatively.
All heroes who are victorious at level 15 will receive a special achievement visible on their profile.
Reward for heroes of leading combat clans:
| Clan seat | An award | Glory | | 1 | | 1,500 | | 2 | | 1,300 | | 3 | | 1,100 | | 4 | | 1,000 | | 5 - 7 | | 900 | | 8 - 10 | | 800 | | 11 - 15 | | 600 | | 16 - 20 | | 500 | | 21 - 30 | | 400 | | 31 - 40 | | 250 | | 41 - 50 | | 100 |
