The port of Harbor City is always loud and noisy, but it’s not every day that the dock laborers’ swearing is drowned by the rattling and roaring of magic mechanisms being loaded onto ships. With the expedition already delayed, time ran out for the court mage to rely on the forces of the living alone, hence the contraptions.
"Don't worry, my friend. I have prepared the best ship the Empire has ever seen," said Tolgar proudly to Abu-Bakir as they walked along the wharf. The golem workers toiling nearby paid them no mind. "It was built under my own watchful supervision!"
"Now, that gives me reason to worry," quipped the wizard.
"About your sense of humor, surely?" parried the dwarven commander.
"About the fact that during this expedition I will not be guarded by the most courageous, strong, dexterous.."
"- smart, handsome and cheerful -" Tolgar interjected, liking what he was hearing.
"- person that the Empire has ever known," finished Abu-Bakir.
"Well, you know why I cannot go myself," the dwarf began to explain apologetically. "So many chores and responsibilities to attend to. And frankly, I can no longer bear the sight of the sea."
"But wait!" exclaimed the mage as they approached the noisy crowd rejoicing the arrival of a valiant hero. "My worries were for nought after all!" he added with an amiable laugh.
"Very funny!" grumbled Tolgar. He pointed his finger sullenly: "The boat’s over there, I’m sure you’ll find your way out of the harbor. You return my flagship to me unscathed, you hear? And don’t forget to bring me something nice from overseas!"
Noble Lords and Ladies! Abu-Bakir is gathering an expedition to distant lands, which needs to be protected by nothing less than you and your valiant armies! All those who would like to answer the court mage’s call are suggested to get their best equipment ready, as it will soon be put to use.
Combat briefing:
- All Lords and Ladies of combat level 5 and above are invited to participate in the expedition.
- For regular battles, only ship artifacts are allowed and enchantments have no effect.
- For battles against superior enemy forces, artifacts with enchantments totaling at least 40 points are allowed, and you must be of combat level 7 or higher.
- On each level, the regular battle and the battle against superior enemy forces are mutually exclusive. If you defeat the regular opponent, its superior counterpart will become inaccessible on that level, and vice versa.
- You will fight using your castle army.
- Each battle will grant you activity points, for which court mage Abu-Bakir can bestow magical enhancements to your army (valid only within this expedition).
- The number of activity points you receive will depend on the level of the enemy you defeat.
- On each of the 50 main levels, you will have 2 opponents to choose from, of which you can defeat only 1.
- Clearing each level will give you its valuable reward only once; additional wins on cleared levels will give you only activity points. The main event reward will be granted for clearing level 50.
- 50 additional levels will be available against superior enemy forces, with minor rewards. Each player will have a maximum of 75 attempts to clear these 50 additional levels.
- All regular battles feature the same exact enemies for all players of the same combat level, faction and class.
- Important! On the additional levels, the enemy factions will be the same for all players of the same faction and class, regardless of their combat level, but with a difficulty coefficient factored in.
- On the first day, only the first 10 levels will be available, with an additional 10 levels added each following day. On days 6 and 7, 20 additional levels will open, with the final 10 battles opening on day 8.
- The expedition will last 10 days, through May 25.
- The Empire will additionally award a trophy artifact and an event achievement to all Lords and Ladies who clear level 10. The durability of the trophy artifact will depend on the highest cleared level, including the additional levels.
- There will be no other awards in addition to the ones listed here.
During this event you will be able to earn up to 30 parts of Magma Ring and up to 20 parts of Dark Shield!
- The best 75 military clans and all of their active Lords and Ladies will be specially rewarded. The rewards will be based on the clans’ final ranking, in which the final result will be equal to the sum of the maximum cleared levels of the top 100 clan members. Wins at the additional levels are included in this calculation.
- Each non-blocked member of a successful military clan will receive their clan’s award if they earn 15 points or more for their clan.
- If a member leaves or is excluded from their military clan, then the clan loses all the points gained by that player for that clan. In the event of re-entry, the player’s points will be returned.
- Leaving the clan on the last day of the event will be prohibited.
- Military clans may invite no more than 3 members per day during the event.
