Hello everyone!
We are happy to announce a launch of our new server. Its characteristics follows:

1. Server have limited lifetime (2 weeks). It will be stopped on 10-Jan-2009, 22:00 GMT.

2. Server is fast, most actions, like troops training, resources gathering, exploration, etc, are speed up about 10 times.

3. All players plays in the same huge valley #1, 448x448 with a large amount of pre-generated cities. You are given a random one regardless of the time when you register, and you are free to capture extra city.

4. Newbie protection lasts 1 day, inactive user is deleted in 7 days.

5. The main city of the world - Jerusalem is located at 225,225 (center of the valley). You MUST capture it and hold as long as possible.

6. Person who holds Jerusalem when server ends will be granted 20k gold to another game server he wants, two other places (that hold the city for most time) gets 10k and 5k gold.

7. There are no vassals diplomacy available on the server. Only simple allies and Orders are available.

8. All players are granted same equal sum of 20k gold coins to provide their power. All players will be granted gold account after first day of game play will be expired.

9. City siege takes 12 hours to complete. Jerusalem takes 8 hours to siege, however when just few hours left till server end, it will take just 1 hour to capture. And it is much less expensive to get extra city control point.

10. When you are controlling Jerusalem, you are given extra mercenary points and are able to hire Teutonic knights.

PS: Hoping that I forgot nothing. Will update this post if something not specified.

PPS: There are some glitches still, for example you see that you are gathering 30 resources per hour while actually are getting 300, these will be solved in next days.
