Nations Cup: New Server vs Server Tournament!

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="Message"> <a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/fo/nkkbn4dibzc4.png" target="_blank"><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/fo/nkkbn4dibzc4.png" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/fo/nkkbn4dibzc4.png" /></a><br /> <i>One month has passed since Rhukan and his wolves were defeated. It wasn’t easy, our kind King Eric had to ask for the help of all his friends across the nations to protect him and defeat the threat.</i><br /> <i>It was a tough fight and what was left behind was blood, </i><i>starvation</i><i> and ruins, but also a renewed hope of a unified and flourishing Empire. All the Lords and Ladies worked together to build everything back up, with the precious help of all of their citizens that brought the whole Empire to glory!</i><br /> <i>King Eric was so impressed by the effort of all of you Lords and Ladies in fighting the threat and building everything back up, that he decided we should celebrate in style!</i><br /><i>A big tournament for every corner of the empire, for everyone to have fun and fight for glory and be forever </i><i>recognised</i><i>!</i><br /> <i>Feasts as big as never before, rivers of wine and the best entertainment from all the kingdoms await you in this celebration! Prepare your swords, motivate your commanders and aim for the first place in the Nations Cup!</i><br /> <h1 class="post-text-align-center"> <img alt="" src="http://abload.de/img/580x30_pagebreak_02qaxbr.png" /></h1> <b>What is the Nations Cup?</b><br /> The Nations Cup is the second edition of the competitive tournament between servers after the Battle of Nations. It will be an additional event to ingame invasions and Berimond. All lords and ladies of a server need to fight bravely in the Battle of Berimond, Foreign Lord, Bloodcrow, Samurai and Nomad invasions and you will be greatly rewarded for your effort on the battlefield. So, fight side by side with your server mates to prevail and be on top of the Empire universe!<br /> <h1 class="post-text-align-center"> <img alt="" src="http://abload.de/img/580x30_pagebreak_02qaxbr.png" /></h1> <b>When will this event happen and how will it work?</b><br /> <ul> <li>The event will start on 10th of August and it will finish on 1st of September.</li> <li>32 servers qualify for the Nations Cup and will compete with each other in a tournament structure, similar to the Football World Cup.</li> <li>The results of your server will be calculated as an average of the points collected by the most active half of the players of your server during the Battle of Berimond or one of the invasions. So, we will consider Gallantry points for the Battle of Berimond, glory points for War of the Bloodcrows and War of the Realms, and Nomad/Samurai Points.</li> <li>You will be able to track results by yourself checking our table exclusively created for this occasion. We will share the link to it during the first days of the Nations Cup. You will be able to find the results of each stage on the forum the day after every invasion ends (excluding weekends).</li> </ul> Here are the stages servers will have to go through in order to win Nations Cup:<br /> <ul> <li><b>Group</b><b> stage</b> will be based on the results during the Battle of Berimond (<b>10th-14th of August</b>):</li> <ul> <li>Each server will be placed in a group with 3 other competitors. So, there will be 8 groups with 4 teams in each one. Soon we will share the results of the draw with you.</li> <li>Only the two servers with the highest gallantry points score (Berimond) of each group will be promoted to the next stage.</li> <li>We will take into consideration only one event during this stage, so, be sure that your server fights hard to get better rewards.</li> </ul> <li><b>1/8 final </b>- Nomad Invasion (<b>14th-18th of August</b>):</li> <ul> <li>Only 16 nations will advance to this round.</li> <li>Each server will compete against one opposing server. The server with the higher Nomad points score at the end of the invasion will be promoted to the 1/4 final.</li> </ul> <li><b>1/4 final</b> - War of the Bloodcrows (<b>18th-23rd of August</b>):</li> <ul> <li>The 8 best servers will compete to get to the 1/2 finals on the same conditions as in the 1/8 knock-out stage.</li> </ul> <li><b>1/2 final</b> - Samurai Invasion (<b>23d-28th of August</b>):</li> <ul> <li>On this stage only 4 teams will be left and they will brawl with Samurai to get more points, to receive better rewards and, of course, to reach the final.</li> </ul> </ul> <ul> <li><b>FINAL </b>-  War of the Realms (<b>28th-31st of August</b>):</li> <ul> <li>The Foreign invasion will help us decide which of the two finalist servers will win the Nations Cup event.</li> </ul> </ul> You will be able to find the results of the stage on the forum the day after every invasion ends.<br /> <h1 class="post-text-align-center"> <img alt="" src="http://abload.de/img/580x30_pagebreak_02qaxbr.png" /></h1> <b>What can I win?</b><br /> <ul> <li>Rewards will be given only to the servers that won the stage. For example, 16 winning servers will get rewards at the end of the group stage, 8 servers will receive rewards during 1/8 final etc.</li> <li>The value of the rewards will increase after each successful stage.</li> <li>There will be two types of rewards:</li> <ul> <li>One will be given out to all players of the winning server.</li> <li>Additional rewards will be given to the 400 best performing players of the winning server for the invasion of each particular stage.</li> </ul> </ul> <div class="post-text-align-center"> <b>All players of the winning server</b></div> <div> <table><tbody> <tr><td><b>Rounds</b></td><td><b>6-19 levels</b></td><td><b>20-69 levels</b></td><td><b>70+ levels</b></td></tr> <tr><td><b>Group Stage</b></td><td>Khan tablet bonus 50% for 2h</td><td>Khan tablet bonus 50% for 2h</td><td>Khan tablet bonus 50% for 2h</td></tr> <tr><td><b>1/8 Final</b></td><td>Glory bonus 75% for 2h<br /> 50 Hero's banners</td><td>Glory bonus 75% for 2 h<br /> 150 Hero's banners</td><td>Glory bonus 75% for 2 h<br /> 300 Hero's banners</td></tr> <tr><td><b>1/4 Final</b></td><td>Samurai tokens bonus 50% for 4h<br /> 50 Cases of samurai tokens</td><td>Samurai tokens bonus 50% for 4h<br /> 150 Cases of samurai tokens</td><td>Samurai tokens bonus 50% for 4h<br /> 300 Cases of samurai tokens</td></tr> <tr><td><b>1/2 Final</b></td><td>Glory bonus 75% for 4h<br /> 50 Horsetail standards</td><td>Glory bonus 75% for 4h<br /> 150 Horsetail standards</td><td>Glory bonus 75% for 4h<br /> 300 Horsetail standards</td></tr> <tr><td><b>Final</b></td><td>Khan tablet bonus 50% for 8h<br /> 100 Khan chests</td><td>Khan tablet bonus 50% for 8h<br /> 250 Khan chests</td><td>Khan tablet bonus 50% for 8h<br /> 500 Khan chests</td></tr> </tbody></table> </div> <br /> <div class="post-text-align-center"> <b>Top 400 players of the winning server</b></div> <table><tbody> <tr><td><b>Rounds</b></td><td><b>Rewards</b></td><td><b>Effect</b></td></tr> <tr><td rowspan="2"><b>Group Stage</b></td><td>Gem of the stormed flank level 8</td><td>20% unit limit on the flanks</td></tr> <tr><td>Gem of the battle cry level 8</td><td>15% combat strength when attacking enemy courtyards</td></tr> <tr><td><b>1/8 Final</b></td><td>Sand of the End of Time</td><td>Look item for commander (for 90 days)</td></tr> <tr><td><b>1/4 Final</b></td><td>Demon Scepter</td><td>Look item for castellan (for 90 days)</td></tr> <tr><td><b>1/2 Final</b></td><td>Gem of the battle cry level 11</td><td>21% combat strength when attacking enemy courtyards</td></tr> <tr><td><b>Final</b></td><td>Decoration: Goddess of Nature</td><td>290 PO</td></tr> </tbody></table> <h1 class="post-text-align-center"> <img alt="" src="http://abload.de/img/580x30_pagebreak_02qaxbr.png" /></h1> <b>Why should I participate?</b><br /> First of all, you have a great chance to celebrate the victory of King Eric the Artisan and lead your Nation to the glory!

Update - Khan’s Revenge issue explained

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="Message"> Brave warriors,<br /> <br /> As recently announced we won’t run the Khan’s Revenge part of the Nomad Invasion event on Empire this time due to a critical bug, which would foster an unfair advantage for some players.<br /> As you know, the Khan’s Revenge mechanic is brand new and because of this, it’s closely observed to make sure it has the intended impact in the game, meaning it will take some optimisations before being perfect.<br /> Due to the decision not to run the event, we’d like to provide you an overview of the current issues we are looking into. You can expect solutions and fixes for them in our upcoming updates.<br /> <br /> <ul> <li>Critical rage attack bug</li> <ul> <li>Some players can’t taunt a second Khan attack to their castle while the first one is still on the way, even though they earned enough rage to trigger a second attack. This would unbalance the event progression, since some players are able to run rage attacks as intended, while others can’t.</li> </ul> <li>Khan attack medals</li> <ul> <li>Several individual factors are used for the medal calculation and we’d like to rework the actual outcome in order to provide a better & more understandable gaming experience.</li> </ul> <li>Khan attacks</li> <ul> <li>The Khan attacks are quite strong and due to your recent feedback, we’d like to adjust them a bit.</li> </ul> <li>Defense tools</li> <ul> <li>The effect of defense tools is not visible, even though they’re working. We’ll also rebalance the mechanic in order to make the effect of the tools more visible.</li> <li>Furthermore, the Plunderer's trunks should be used only in the courtyard but worked also on the walls. This behaviour was not intended and will be fixed.</li> </ul> </ul> <br /> Thank you for your ongoing support and dedication.<br /> <br /> Your Empire Community Team</div> </div>

August Update - Feature Teaser

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <div class="Message"> <div class="post-text-align-center"> <a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/0t/hqw68bmavnk3.png" rel="nofollow"><img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/0t/hqw68bmavnk3.png" title="Image: https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/0t/hqw68bmavnk3.png" /></a></div> Fooood!!! A strong knight requires a good meal and a pint of beer after an exciting battle. How can the shaking hands of a weary warrior hold his sword and shield with a stomach filled with nothing but glory and victory?! We know you are always attentive to this resource and so we prepared a nice feature for you to avoid desertions of your troops due to intentional downtimes.<br /> <br /> <h1>  <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/rj/pdu23xff7ypg.png" /> <b>Starvation during intentional downtimes</b></h1> We are glad to present you with one of the most requested community features! One of the most annoying things with downtimes is not even the fact you cannot enjoy our game for 30-45 minutes (though that one is pretty up there, we know), but the disappointment that sets in when you return to your castle after maintenance to find a fleeing army, disgruntled and unfed vagrants of the Great Kingdom. Even if you do not lose them to the ravages of a rumbly tummy, it always takes a lot of time to prepare and distribute the food you need to feed all your units until the downtime is over. Well this feature changes things:<br /> <ul> <li>During our maintenance players will not lose troops due to starvation.</li> <li>During this time your units will not consume food, but food will also not be produced in any of your locations.</li> <li>This system will not affect the production of other resources.</li> <li>You will now see fewer troop desertions after intentional downtimes.</li> </ul> <b>Disclaimer: </b>We would like to clarify what intentional and unintentional downtimes are. By intentional downtimes we rare referring to scheduled periods of time during which the server is deactivated to update the game, perform hotfixes or general maintenance. Unintentional (or unscheduled) downtimes happen when servers shut down due to power loss, hard drive crashes, bugs that limit access to the game etc. This system can only be applied for intentional downtimes that we are previously aware of and are within our control.<br /> <br /> <h1> <img alt="" src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6025127/uploads/editor/mk/dzhrpiphta3h.png" />  <b>Increase equipment storage</b></h1> We previously mentioned to you that we were aiming to increase equipment storage with our next update. We know it’s something you have all been asking for a lot and you would like to see more space in equipment storage as soon as possible. Unfortunately, the feature won’t be rolled out for you with this update, but never fear! It is still planned and we are doing our best to implement this change with the update after next one.<br /> <br /> You can ask questions about the update as usual <a href="https://community.goodgamestudios.com/empire/en/discussion/337691/discussion-thread-august-update-feature-teaser#latest" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> in this thread.<br /> <br /> This is just the first of many teasers, we will soon be revealing more in the comments of this thread.</div> </div>
