The hustle and bustle of the New Year’s celebrations is gaining momentum and the Empire’s settlements are becoming more and more exquisite each day. The houses and streets are covered with festive decorations, and festive trees keep growing in the town squares with each one more beautiful than the other. There is no stopping the approaching holiday. Although, someone could still spoil things a little and he is full of such a desire. The Grinch’s antics this year began earlier than usual. At a first glance, his actions didn’t pose a serious threat to the upcoming celebrations, but something far more insidious could be lurking behind them. When alarming news from one of the Empire’s provinces came about premature attacks of evil New Year spirits, there was no time to hesitate. It was necessary to quickly deal with the cause of the local unrest.
Lords and Ladies! The magic of upcoming New Year festivities can already be felt in the air, but something unknown is trying to distort it. The court mage Abu-Bakir asks all those concerned to take on the role of one of the commanders of the Army of Cold and figure out the consequences of this mysterious intervention, as well as find out and eliminate its root cause.
Combat briefing:
- Lords and Ladies of combat level 5 or above are invited to participate.
- You will command troops of the Army of Cold.
- Your own talents and magic will not work. All participants will get pre-set talents and spells.
- Only shop artifacts are allowed, and enchantments have no effect. It is recommended to have a few parameter points of Spell power and Knowledge in order to be able to efficiently wield the available Holy and Chaos magic spells.
- You can recruit your own starting army from the available troops using 10,000 silver.
- The list of units available for recruiting and their numbers will expand as you progress in battles during the event.
- The units’ hiring prices will stay the same throughout the event.
- The event involves battles against enemies on the map and battles against enemies that are guarding silver.
- Important! Battles with enemies on the map will affect the overall progress of the event and the quality of the rewards in battles with the guardians of silver. In these battles you can earn only the main rewards but they will not bring you silver.
- Important! Silver can only be obtained in battles against the guardians of silver, within which it will be possible to pick a fight with one of the three possible opponents whose strength is based on the current Lord’s or Lady’s army.
- Important! You can fight as many battles against silver guardians as you like, but you’re limited to earning 500,000 silver in total from them. Also, the farther you progress on the map, the more silver such battles will yield.
- Important! You can disband any of the troops you’ve recruited for a 100% refund in silver.
- The main reward will be given for clearing level 50 on the map. Levels 51 through 100 feature HIGHER difficulty but MINOR rewards.
- On the 1st event day, you can advance up to level 10 on the map. 10 more levels will become available every following day. On days 6 and 7, 20 additional levels will be added, and the last 10 additional levels will be added on day 8.
- In clearing levels 51 through 100 you are limited to 75 attempts.
- Players of combat level 11 and below cannot advance past level 50 on the map.

- For winning battles on the map, you can receive points toward Mercenaries’ and Hunters’ Guilds; gold; creature artifacts; elements; diamonds; summoning scrolls; creatures in reserve; parts of creatures in reserve; and even parts of special artifacts.
- For defeating silver guardians you will receive guild points in addition to the silver.
- The top 75 military clans and all of their active Lords and Ladies may count on further recognition and rewards. Awarding will be based on the final clan ranking, where the final result will be equal to the sum of points gained by Top-100 Lords and Ladies of the clan;
- Non-blocked Lords and Ladies of successful military clans will be rewarded if they bring to their clan at least 30 points;
- If a Lord or Lady leaves or is evicted from a military clan, the clan loses all the points the Lord or Lady gained for that clan; if they rejoin the clan, all the points will be returned to the clan;
- Leaving the clan on the last day of the event and before the award ceremony will be forbidden (important!);
- Admission to military clans from the second day of the event will be limited to 3 Lords or Ladies per day (important!);
- Important! Lords and Ladies who have achieved more than 50 map victories will not be able to join any military clan until the event is over;
- The Lords and Ladies who defeat an enemy of the 12th difficulty level will be generously rewarded by the Empire with a trophy artifact and an achievement. The artifact's durability will be determined only by the number of points gathered, including additional levels. There will be no extra rewards other than those mentioned in this announcement.
During the event, it is possible to gain up to 25 parts of Fear Cloak and up to 20 parts of Magma Helmet. In addition — up to 5 more parts of Fear Cloak will be given depending on your military clan’s rank!

Save the New Year! | Additional briefings:
1) Beginning from the 51st level of difficulty and onwards, lesser versions of the main battles will become available. Victory in such battles will allow you to progress further on the main map, but will only bring you half the gold and 0,5 points to the final score.
2) Victories in the lesser battles will not increase the amount of gained silver in the battles against the guardians of silver until you defeat a full-fledged opponent of the same difficulty level or higher.
3) If you so wish, you can return and fight an enemy of the regular difficulty if you previously defeated the lesser version. In that case, the remaining 0,5 points and half gold will be given as a reward.
4) Lords and Ladies of combat level 5-11 after winning the 50th battle will be able to fight only against lesser opponents in battles above 50th difficulty level.
5) Combats against lesser opponents will use up 1 of the available 75 attempts in additional fights, regardless of their result. |
