Start of High Performance (December 12th, 20:00)

We will soon be starting the next High Performance world on December 12th at around 20:00.

There will be 5000 free player slots. After that, premium will be required to play.

Prizes

#1 player will receive 1000 premium points.
#2 player will receive 800 premium points.
#3 player will receive 600 premium points.
Winning tribe will receive 200 premium points each

This world will use the new Secrets of Power feature. For more information about Secrets of Power, see below.

This world will end after 3 months, or 24 hours after a tribe captures a full set of secrets and holds it for 24 hours, winning the world. If no tribe achieves the goal, the winner will be the top tribe at the end of the world.

There are 12 secrets to collect. The first secret will materialize when the world is 45 days old. After this, further secrets will appear periodically.

To join the world after it opens please select 'High Perf' from the login screen.


Secrets of power - Endgame scenario

Basics

So you've built up your troops, nobled your enemies, joined a powerful tribe and are the terror of smaller players everywhere. What to do next? At a set time in the game, so called "Secrets of Power" will appear in barbarian villages all over the map. These Secrets are inventions and discoveries that will lead your world to a new age. And they are the main objectives of the game: A tribe that manages to hold a full set of Secrets for a certain time will be the dominant force in this new age and will hence win the game.

Controlling a Secret

You gain control of a Secret when you conquer the village that it is currently stored (indicated by a special flag icon on the main map) or the secret is moved into one of your villages. Contrary to troops, a Secret can only move a small number of fields at a time. After having been moved, the Secret needs to rest in the village for a prolonged amount of time, again this is configurable. Once you give a move order to a Secret, it will leave your control - you cannot cancel the move or get it back (unless it is moved back to you), so be careful who you entrust it to.

Secrets spreading

After a while, Secrets will start to spread around a tribe holding them. You will receive periodic updates informing you when and possibly to where the Secret will spread. The newly spawned "copy" of the Secret is just as good as the original Secret. Eventually the Secrets will spread around more and more, making it ever harder to keep your opponents' greedy hands from them. Eventually it will be time to make an attack on any villages holding Secrets your tribe does not yet control.

Winning the game

To win the game a tribe must hold a full set of Secrets. That is, you don't have to hold all Secrets on the map, only at least one instance of each named secret. After a tribe has acquired control of a full set, a victory countdown timer will start. If a tribe retains control of a whole set for the countdown period, it will win the game. Note that only the set counts: If a tribe has more than one copy of a secret, it is sufficient for that tribe to retain control of one instance of this secret to retain completeness of the full set and thus win.

After a tribe has won, the world will automatically go to peace settings and will eventually be closed.

I would only like to point out, that a link from the "Announcements" section, "Start of a new HP world - with secrets of power!" thread - misleads a bit, and provides to the previous topic about new /I mean - old, from this point of view :icon_wink: / High Performance world :) .

As far as I'm aware Plunderer/Robber/AOTD/DOTD are activated later in the game, if at all - not right at the start

i thought that they were going to allow more than 5000 free member access, because they were closing down the attack feature on all worlds during Christmas and New Years

You might be thinking about the Speed Worlds that are taking place during the xmas/new year attack breaks? We're still going to have the attack break on high perf.

Thanks for your reply, but I'm not talking about the daily awards. The normal plunder/robber awards are nowhere to be seen.

I am right now playing the HP world . The world will be ending in another 38 days. So my doubt is that if no tribe gets hold of the complete set of secret within the next 38 days , which tribe will win ? The tribe which holds the most secrets or the biggest tribe ?
