Castle Assault!

Dear players,

Get ready to raid the castle!

Not far from you, an army has laid siege to an imposing castle. It is rumoured that the castle hold precious medals you could use for your own wars. You armies are busy enough, but you might send some mercenaries to help conquer the castle and get your share of loot!

Event start: 02.09.15

Event end: 17.09.15

This event will be active on all standard and casual worlds.

Joining the Assault

The castle and the besieging army will appear on the event screen once the event starts.
You can access the event screen via the village overview or the burning castle icon on the top right corner

You will then be able to see the map of the event, with different sections available to reinforce for your mercenaries

Reinforcing

The assault contains 3 categories:

-Assault: when the progress bar is full, 1 to 5 damage (plus bombardment bonus) will be dealt to the castle.
-Naval Supply: when the progress bar is full, it adds 50% of completion to the Assault and Bombardment bar.
-Bombardment: when the progress bar is full, it deals 1 point of damage to the castle and raise the damage dealt by Assault by 3 points

The way to have these progress bars fill is to reinforce it by sending mercenaries to it

Mercenaries will be used then and you will receive new ones every 30 minutes, to a maximum of 16.
Once you have reinforced a category, you will have to wait before being able to do it, or remove the cooldown by using another mercenary.
-Reinforcing the Assault will add 4 points to the Assault progress bar. Cooldown is 30 minutes.
-Reinforcing the Naval Supply will add 1 point in all 3 categories. Cooldown is one hour.
-Reinforcing the Bombardment will add 4 points to the Bombardment progress bar. Cooldown is 10 minutes.


Destroying the Castle

Once the castle reaches 0 HP, it is destroyed. The medals contained inside the castle are distributed equally among all participating players and a new castle replaces it, with more medals inside.

You will also get medals depending on your ranking in the 3 different categories. The more you contribute to one category, the more chances you have to get more medals!

When a castle is below 10 HP, you have a possibility to raid it. It will deal 1 damage to it and grant extra medals (premium worlds only)

Using your Medals

Your hard earned medals can be used in our brand new event shop, where they can be exchanged for interesting items.

For the first time, the items exchanged for medals during the event will remain in your inventory when the event ends. So you can get some for future use!

The following items are available:

-Explosive Traps: this will damage your village's wall when a battle is lost to defeat additional attacking units.
-War Footing: this will improve your recruitment times by 25%. However, wood, iron and clay production will be reduced by 10%.
-Noble Booster: this will increase the loyalty loss of successful noble attacks by 5.
-Sigil of Distress (3 levels): this will make support sent to a specific village travel faster.
-Sword Booster (3 levels): this will grant an offensive and defensive bonus to your swordsmen.
-Axe Booster (3 levels): this will grant an offensive and defensive bonus to your axemen.
-Anwar's Raid Booster (3 levels, named in memory of our game designer Anwar): this will grants a bonus to your haul capacity. (not available on non haul worlds)
-War Chest: this will grant you a number of coins/packages equal to the number of villages you own.

All items (except the War Chest) last for 48 hours.

Notes about the event:
Activity and achievement quests are available for the event
You only see yourself in the rankings of the different categories
Players are generally divided in groups of 200 (it is possible to be less)
Transferring to casual won't transfer any medals or items related to the event

Once the event ends, the event screen will be removed, the medals taken and the access to the event shop won't be accessible. You will keep all the items in your inventory!

You can see more of the event in this YouTube video.

Go Assault the Castle!

I appreciate that this appears more thought out than past events and that buffs will be able to carry over once the event expires. It will be interesting to see how the various benefits affect gameplay. Some like the 25% recruitment bonus are quite powerful, and others are downright unorthodox. Let's see how it all plays out. Already more interesting than saving the royalty.

ok after perusing this castle assault game and the prizes and how its done, i have come to the conclusion I have better things to do then waste it on this thing like watch the grass grow or a spider spin a web or a snail cross the driveway.

Hmm just a thought the naval supply one seems nearly like it is useless in some ways. Also is there a limit on a player on how many times they want to raid castle or can they just raid it constantly.

There are no limits on how many times you can raid.

What if the castle is destroyed before the naval supply engages. Will the Naval medals be awarded to the accordingly ranked players? Or will the progress bar be kept the same for the next castle siege?

Naval supply is completely pointless.

The mathematics of it just don't work out.

Spend your mercs on something useful :D

Yes, but I am asking when the Castle is defeated... It is different. *sigh* someone who knows something please answer.

Check the video in the original post. That might help

About the achievements; what exactly do you have to do?

For example this one:
Castle Assault: Take the Helm!
Trigger the Naval Support action gauge by committing enough mercenaries to it.

Do you have to be the one that sends the last mercenary before the attack? (the mercenary that fills up the bar to 5000?)

Yes... you got to be the person that tip's it over the edge...

Can the inventory items earned in the event be gifted? Suppose for example a tribe mate would benefit more from it.

Also: Does the event end early if the castle is destroyed, or does a new castle take it's place?

The items gained cannot be gifted.

Once a castle is destroyed a new castle will replace it.

The event lasts until Event end: 17.09.15
