Patch 4.71 is here with the new ‘Lord of Darkness’ event and Hecate!

Lord of Darkness

Reanimated gargoyles have swarmed the cities, controlled by the Dark Lord himself. A vampire, we thought has been defeated forever. War with the darkness has begun and our only option is to fight until our last breath.

The event lasts 6 days. The player has to raid the Event Camps in order to obtain Coffin Keys. They are used to open randomly generated Coffins which contain various items, but most notably, parts of the Ancient Relic. Forging these parts together will create a complete Ancient Relic (the event’s currency) used to obtain items in the Event shop (runes, artifacts and units).

Hecate game world returns!

Welcome Sorcerer, to a realm where untamed magical energies run rampant and torrents of mana swirl across the starry sky. Welcome to the source of magic itself!

Hecate is a special server for experienced players. It is faster and it concentrates on magic.

How much “faster” is it? Hecate lasts only 28 days, which is 3,5 times less than all the regular servers. Moreover, most game actions are 3 times faster than on usual game worlds!

How does it “concentrate on Magic”? In Hecate magic skills are much more powerful, ALL spells are stronger and have unlimited range. Summoning spells conjure much more units and Magic pollution dissipates rapidly. Players collect Magic Essence - which serves as a crafting material for magical artifacts - and Magical Stones - which are used to research NEW spells. Moreover players start with a free mana totem.

You can now register to the game world and it starts on October 27th, 2016 at 10:00 Emporea time.

Other changes and improvements in the game:

  • The leader of an alliance or the player with the rights to do so, can now create a Non-aggression pact. If a player attacks a fortress or a city of a friendly alliance, he will get a warning, which tells him that the pact is active and should not attack. The pact can be activated by opening the information about the other alliance.
  • We’ve added a notification sound when a mass attack has been created.
  • Several problems with battles and notifications have been resolved.
  • Other minor changes and improvements.

We’re looking forward to your feedback!
