The order in the Bandit Wastelands is dark and archaic. It is not built on laws, but on superstitions whispered half-voiced around the campfire. The bandits truly believe only in omens, signs, and luck. In pursuit of it, they will kill and even give up their own lives, if only you whisper beautifully about easy riches.
Getting rich on roulette — now that’s a tried-and-true, timeless method! Just like hitting the jackpot in the legendary Wasteland Cup, which, rumor has it, is finally going to happen soon. They say the Boss himself promised it to the Wasteland Daily! Once upon a time… probably… But first, you gotta scrounge up some gold for the bet and the entry fee. Maybe borrow from the imperial peasants — they won’t say no… especially with a cleaver pressed to their throat. A foolproof plan! The seasoned atamans at the forum gatherings wouldn’t lie… After all, noble gentlemen of fortune aren’t about to slave away in the mines.
Brave Lords and Ladies! Intelligence reports reveal a large gathering of bandit forces near the borders of the Empire, coming from the Bandit Wastelands. Without a doubt, they are preparing another vile raid on the border imperial villages. Therefore, Warlord Grammit calls upon all who care to join the ranks of fearless defenders of the Empire and help protect its loyal subjects from the ruthless cruelty of merciless bandits. It is imperative to save as many innocent lives as possible!
Combat briefing:
1) All Lords and Ladies of combat level 5 and higher, equipped with shop artifacts are invited to participate, enchantments have no effect.
2) The initial population of the village equals 1000 for each Lord or Lady.
3) Important! During the settlement defence battles, the Lord or Lady will be joined by villagers whose number will be 10% of the total population but not more than 150. The villagers will not appear on the battlefield at once, but will begin to leave their dwellings on the 4th, 5th and 6th turn of the battle. The dwellings will be heavily reinforced, and if by some incredible calamitous misfortune the enemy manages to destroy them before the civilians leave, they will automatically run out of the destroyed dwelling.
4) Battles are of a 1-on-1 format against the armies of robbers.
5) After the battle every 10 surviving villagers gain one unit of resources, and each surviving dwelling increases the population by 30.
6) It is possible to repair dwellings with resources, build and restore towers, increase their damage and durability as well as add new capabilities.
7) 10 resources are needed to repair a dwelling and 20 resources to repair a tower.
8) Each day 12 battles are available and the unused attempts are carried over to the next day. A total of no more than 72 battles can be fought. The last day to finish the battles — July 18.
9) Victories may reward you with Mercenaries’ Guild points, creature armaments and artifacts from Artifact shop. Furthermore, once the defense is over, the Empire will reward all worthy defenders with gold.
10) Overall successes during the event will be further marked with parts of special artifacts and more:
for 10 victories: 1 part and 5 Elixirs of restoration;
for 20 victories: 2 parts;
for 30 victories: 3 parts, 5 Elixirs of restoration and Abu-Bakir's Charm lasting for 10 days;
for 40 victories: 4 parts;

for 60 victories: 5 parts and a detachment of rare creatures to reserve;
As well as up to 5 parts of Fear Ring at the final awarding taking into account the individual contribution to the success of the operation.
Extremely important! During this event, the "Battle Exhaustion" system is in effect. Starting from the 15th turn of any battle, the Lords’ and Ladies’ talent 'Mana recovery' will cease to function. The same will hold for the troop abilities 'Life drain' and 'Battledive' of units in the Lords’ and Ladies’ armies. Additionally, all enemy units will gain the ability 'Attentive', and 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 top 75 military clans and all their active members will be specially rewarded. Awarding will be based on the final clan ranking, where the final result will be equal to the sum of gained points of the Top 100 Lords and Ladies of the clan.
- All unblocked Lords and Ladies of successful military clans will be rewarded if they bring at least 6,000 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.
- Leaving the clan on the last day of the event and before the award ceremony is forbidden .
- Admission to military clans from the second day of the event and onwards will be limited to three Lords or Ladies per day.
- Important! Lords and Ladies who carried out 40 or more battles, regardless of their result, will not be able to join any military clan until the event is over.

Tactical tips:
Think about what is the correct placement of the towers. For instance, if you place them on the frontline — they will be destroyed more often; if you place them further away from the enemy, they will deal less damage due to the greater distance. Please note that tower placement cannot be changed throughout the event, so position them in a way that doesn't block the movement of your units, and make sure to leave enough space on the battlefield for placing large creatures. Try to move the army forward to protect civilians and also take into account the timing of them leaving the dwellings so that they don't accidentally block the way for infantry attack units.
Important! Lords and Ladies with the highest population and number of victories at the end of all battles will be generously rewarded by the Empire! In addition to gold, a trophy artifact will be awarded, whose durability depends on the combat level, results of adjacent levels, and the Lord or Lady’s faction (regardless of class). The faction counted will be the one in which at least one battle was fought and which showed the best overall results among all Lords and Ladies within the eligible level range.
Onward to the defense! |
