Spring is just around the corner, with the seasons once again preparing to shift. Such a time on the Empire’s lands is always associated with a number of traditional events. And the prominent Hunters’ Guild was the first to initiate that this year. A new series of challenges had already been put together - and this time they were significantly different from everything that had previously been seen in the twists and turns of past seasons. But even the most unusual of innovations, sometimes a grain of a long-forgotten essence can lurk. The days of laid-back festivals are behind us - it’s time for the hunters to once again get a taste of the good old spirit of competition!
Lords and Ladies, the Hunters’ Guild announces the opening of the new hunting season and invites you to take part in this glorious event! However, before starting you should take the time to familiarize yourself with the rules. This season there will be a lot of innovations and changes for the participants:
- Lords and Ladies of combat level 5 and above are invited to participate.
- Important! For battles against difficult or regular enemies, only shop artifacts are allowed, and enchantments have no effect.
- Important! For battles against lesser enemies, there are no ammunition restrictions, however enchantments still have no effect.
- New! Battles are held in the format of a Lord or Lady with their army against armies and groups of various creatures.
- The spell damage multiplier of the Wizard faction does not apply.
- New! The hunter is provided with a map of marked targets of varying difficulty. Targets are selected individually for each participant; when changing a faction or class then a new list of targets will be issued.
- New! Before the start of a battle, it will be possible to familiarize yourself with the provided intelligence on the enemy’s arrangement.
- On the first day you can defeat up to 10 hunt targets, in any order. 10 more hunt targets will become available every consecutive day, up to a total of 60. To attack new targets, you will need to defeat all targets from all the previous days on any of the available difficulties.
- New! The rankings will be based on the number of points earned. Defeating a difficult opponent can bring you up to 10 points, a regular one - up to 7 points, a weak one - up to 5 points.
- Important! In the case of a defeat to an opponent of any difficulty, the number of possible points for defeating a given target will be reduced by 1 for a difficult opponent and proportionally for all others with constant rounding up. After 10 defeats to opponents of any difficulty against the same target, only the lesser opponent will remain available for whose defeat you will get 1 point.
- Important! In the case of victory over a regular or lesser opponent, the target will be considered defeated, but if desired, you can fight against a stronger opponent at any time to improve the result and receive the rest of the rewards. A victorious battle will also be counted as a used attempt and will reduce the number of points that can be gained if the result improves.
- For defeating a hunt target, you will receive Hunters’ Guild points, creature armaments, hunters’ artifacts and gold.
- Higher-difficulty options yield greater rewards. However, the rewards shown do not sum up for the single target: Once you defeat a lower-difficulty option, the rewards for any higher-difficulty options that remain available will be lowered by the reward you’ve already collected.
- The hunting season will last for 8 days, through March 5 inclusively.
- All Lords and Ladies who defeat 50 targets will receive Abu-Bakir’s Charm lasting for 15 days.
- The top 75 military clans and all of their active members will be specially rewarded. Awarding will be based on the clans’ final ranking, in which the final result will be equal to the sum of points gained by the top 100 clan members.
- All unblocked Lords and Ladies of successful military clans will be rewarded if they bring at least 250 event points to the clan!
- 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.
- It will be impossible to leave one’s clan on the last day of the event and until the rewards have been given out..
- 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! Once you gather more than 250 event points, you will be temporarily unable to join any military clan while the event lasts.
Important! During this event, the "Battle Exhaustion" system is in effect. Starting from the 15th turn of any battle, the Lord’s or Lady’s "Mana recovery" talent and the troop abilities "Life Drain" and "Battledive" will cease to function for units in the Lords' and Ladies' armies, and all enemy units will gain the ability "Attentive", as well as an increase in initiative and speed. Notifications corresponding to this exhaustion will appear as a warning 1 turn before and at the onset of exhaustion.
The personal successes of each Lord or Lady will be additionally rewarded with parts of Fear Cloak:
For 50 event points: +1 part
For 100 event points: +2 parts
For 140 event points: +3 parts
For 180 event points: +4 parts
