One, two, three -
Freeze in fear and count with me.
Four and five -
The Squashman's here. Will you survive?
Six, seven, eight -
We call on him to seal your fate.
Nine and ten -
Let the mayhem start again!
Count his victims if you dare -
There are more than you can bear!
Doomed Lords and Ladies! The curse of Halloween returns! Today, the shadow of its sinister heralds, known as Squashmen, will once again fall over the lands of the Empire. Engage one in battle and you can tame it, then send it to carry out your boldest commands by attacking other Lords and Ladies. As it does its dirty work, your Squashman will hone its abilities and earn faction skill points for you. At first, this pumpkin monster will only be able to defeat weaker opponents, but in time it will grow strong enough to take on more powerful foes. Any Lord or Lady of combat level 3 or above can harness this creature's power! The 6,000 strongest Squashmen will be immortalized in their masters' achievements: 1,000 gold, 2,000 silver and 3,000 bronze.
  
Every Lord or Lady of combat level 3 or above can encounter a Squashman on the Empire map. While viewing another character's profile, you can order your Squashman to attack them, provided they are online, have allocated all their attribute points, have a weapon equipped and have recruited enough troops. Units recruited from your Leaders' Guild followers will join the Squashman on the battlefield! Your Squashman will earn experience points for every battle, while you will receive faction skill points for each victory. Experience points can be spent on improving your Squashman's stats. You can also spend gold to buy up to 50,000 additional experience points in total. Your Squashman can make no more than 200 attacks in total. At the end of October 31, your Squashman will vanish as though it had never been there. For every combat level your Squashman gains in battle, you will receive an "Elixir of Restoration"!
Have a spooktacular Halloween! |
