There are numerous reasons to be proud of the Empire. From the heaven-gifted natural beauty of its vast expanses, to the glorious Lords and Ladies whom the Empire nearly owes its majestic existence within its current borders. Hard to trace a poem or a song that would not allude to these so obvious extremes. Yet because of their splendor, those whose light of glory perhaps may not shine as brightly, but whose role in the life of the Empire is equally as important, are sometimes overlooked. For instance, the imperial combat officers — who mediate between the highest military command and ordinary soldiers, who accomplish the combat tasks of special importance on the battlefield shoulder to shoulder with their subordinates, exemplifying the proper level of service. While their names may not be on everyone's lips, some of them are legendary in army circles. And many soldiers would be honored to serve and fight alongside one of these commanders. But such an honor only befalls a few.
Lords and Ladies, glorious Leaders! Lately, our borderlands have been in trouble. The border guards are running out of manpower to handle all the combat missions — and they are requesting combat support. Therefore, the Empire is sending a few elite combat officers to the most troubled areas, and is requesting that all of you, if possible, provide a detachment of volunteers from your Leaders' guild followers to reinforce patrols in the borderlands.
Details of the assigned combat mission:
- Lords and Ladies of Combat level 5 and above are invited to participate;
- Only your Leaders' guild troops are allowed to confront the enemy;
- Your maximum leadership is determined by your current Leaders’ guild level;
- The battles are fought without your character, artifacts, or talents. After placing your troops you may activate auto-combat;
- You will not receive any experience or faction skill points, and any equipped artifacts will not be worn out;
- A total of 100 main battle stages on the enemy units map will be available, 50 of which are more easy and other 50 more difficult;
- Important! The composition and quantity of enemy units on each battle stage may partially or even significantly differ for each individual Lord or Lady, but their overall strength in all cases will be approximately equal. The core features of specific battles will remain unchanged for everyone (for example: type of enemy or presence/absence of various structures, towers, monsters, heroes, landscape elements, etc.);
- Defeating each battle stage will yield a valuable reward depending on the difficulty of the battle and progress on the patrol route map;
- Important! At each battle stage, you will be presented with 3 enemies of choice: standard, lesser (*) and difficult (+). Defeating any one of them will allow you to progress further on the map and receive all listed rewards, however the amount of gold and points received will depend on the difficulty of the enemy;
- Enemies do not depend in any way on the creatures available in the Lord’s or Lady’s Leaders’ guild reserve and their guild level, but adjust to officer Trolmon’s current progress;
- Important! In case of defeat in a battle of any difficulty on the current battle stage, the possible point total will reduce by 1 for a difficult enemy and proportionally for all the others, with constant rounding up. After 10 losses at any stage, only the lesser enemy will remain available with a reward of 1 point, where you will not be able to get lower than that;
- Important! In the case of a victory against a standard or lesser enemy on a specific battle stage on the map, you will be able to return and fight the harder enemy, receiving the remaining sum of gold and points minus the spent attempts;
- On the first day, only the first 10 battle stages will be available, with 10 more stages added each following day until stage 50 inclusively. On days 6 and 7, 20 more battle stages will open, with the final 10 stages opening on day 8;
- After a loss, you will be given the opportunity to view one of the options of passing this stage for 0.2 diamonds;
- Important! During the first five days, an early start bonus will be in effect. You can gain +20% gold and 1.2 Leaders’ guild points instead of 1 point for each win on the first 10 stages during the first day, for each win on stages 11–20 during the second day, etc.;
- Important! During this event, the manual resurrection of common Leaders’ guild followers will be available. They will not be resurrected automatically;
- Important! During the completion of the assigned combat mission, your Leaders’ guild troops will be at the disposal of the elite combat officer Trolmon — a master of various fighting styles, equally proficient with a sword and a crossbow, as well as with the spells of Chaos, Nature and Holy magic schools;
- Important! The progress of developing officer Trolmon’s abilities and characteristics will depend solely on his actions in battle — and it’s unlikely to maximaze all his possible skills, abilities and magic schools development during the course of completing the assigned combat mission. Therefore, you should carefully think through each of his actions during the battles;
- Important! When replaying battle stages that have already been completed, officer Trolmon will be present with the same skill level that he had at the time of completing the corresponding stage on the map. At the same time, he will not further improve his skills in case of victory;
- Important! Officer Trolmon’s skills will only improve for the first victory in each battle stage, including the battles of 51+ stages. Defeats and replays of completed stages on the map will not affect his skill level;
- Important! After clearing the 31st battle stage, you will get a chance to reset your progress in the event and officer Trolmon’s abilities, starting from the beginning again. In this case, the points scored will also be reset. The final score will be the highest between the score prior and after the reset. There will be no reward for previously completed stages. The number of allowed resets is limited to two;
- The most successful military clans and their top players will receive additional rewards based on the clan rankings, in which each clan’s final score will equal to the sum of points its top 100 members’ gained. Victories at additional levels are factored into these final scores;
- All unblocked Lords and Ladies of successful military clans will be rewarded if they contribute at least 400 points to their clan;
- If a member leaves or is expelled from their military clan, the clan loses all of that member’s points earned for the clan. If the member rejoins the clan, the clan gets their points back;
- Leaving the clan on the last day of the event and before the award ceremony is forbidden;
- From the second day of the event and onwards, military clans may accept no more than three players per day while the event lasts;
- Important! Lords and Ladies who scored over 400 points will not be able to join any military clan until the event is over;
- The event will last for 10 days, until April 15th inclusively.
Using your connections and undisputed authority, you can spend a certain amount of gold to recruit the help of additional common or uncommon Leaders’ guild followers. You can also take advantage of a one-time purchase of a limited number of rare or epic followers. The number of units per person is limited.
The successes in completing the assigned combat mission, beside all the other loot, can also yield parts of Fear amulet (up to 15 parts), Fear boots (up to 10 parts) and Fear cloak (up to 10 parts):
All Lords and Ladies, whose followers succeed in defeating the 15th battle stage on the map, will receive a unique achievement in their character profile.
