Empire Defender Day!
Lords and Ladies,
Today is known as the Empire Defender Day, the day when years ago the militants of the Empire stood firm in face of a great threat from the North and ended a barbaric onslaught of Recalcitrant Tribes.
So fierce was the savages' fury, so large their thirst for revenge, and so vast the pools of blood that literally soaked the grounds in the regions where battles were held, that every time this day cycles back into the life of the Empire, spirits of once bested foes reappear in material form to put our defenses to test, making us recall the past feats.
Today once more the northern frontiers of the Empire have been trespassed by the vengeful spirits and now haunt the lands challenging our defenders. All heroes of combat level 3 and above are sent a call to arrive at any of the northern frontier locations: Peaceful Camp, Eagle Nest, Sunny City, Crystal Garden, Fairy Trees, Ungovernable Steppe and to help repelling the enemy attacks occurring every 10 minutes. Total number of event combats is limited to 23, and each victorious attempt earns a gift card which may be kept or sent to any male character in whose profile they will remain until the end of February.
The Tavern will be offering free recovery drinks for the entire day.
This day makes us remember who we truly are: honourable and staunch defenders of the land we swore to call our home after a terrible cataclysm buried ours. We shall answer this call. To arms!
And we got the announcement on the day!

I think you just have to go there and wait for the time to get onto a multiple of 10 |
| how do we finish? |
Going out of those regions, or go offline ;-).
Btw, do we get full fsp if we fight without arts? |
Example battle (Playing as my dwarf faction with FSL 3 and min arts)

Don't laugh about how bad the battle went, I haven't used dwarf for a while.
I think this will end up similar to the valentines event, getting harder each time. |
Similar dwarf level 14 no arts first battle super easy

Chance to get some alt FL I think (at least till they get difficult) |
| Ok, seems we don't get full fsp if we're not wearing at least min ap, so better put some clothes on ;-) |
| YEah I got caught off guard - battle started as soon as I arrived and I like to travel naked you see........ |
| more AP = more FSP gained |
for Skoczek:
Certainly when comparing min AP to no AP. Not sure if you get an advantage past that - anyone confirm? |
| Probably not. I remember from last year that everything under min ap gives you around half the normal fsp and everything equal or above min ap gives you normal fsp. So I don't think it's worth doing these battles in more than min ap, unless you really want to win them all. |
Not sure if you get an advantage past that - anyone confirm?
Just checked min AP (10) against a little bit higher (14) and FSP was 1.47 in both cases (no ABC) |
| Seems this was not made for mages, really high troop count with no magic damage bonus, might build pretty effective though :) |
Might all the way - always the case really when they are not lead by a hero - your stats out do them lots even in min.
Still easy 8 in (and that is with holy knights with no cavalry or angels or upgraded griffs or monks). SO if you are thinking of some cheeky faction resistance without the buildings, this should be good for you. |
| I guess I spoke too soon - got owned on the 9th battle :) |

Pretty good gold from the battles, gonna go up in AP? |
| Might do - but running out of time so may call it quits for a bit anyway. |
what if I drink for luck
will the enemy show up? |
for kingyb:
I'm pretty sure it will (if I remember correctly from previous years)
I also noticed that you don't get gold if you're not wearing any artifacts. |
