1100AD administration sincerely wishes you, our beloved players, Merry Christmas and may all the sweet magic of Christmas conspire to gladden your hearts and fill every desire. Let the winter season hold exciting adventures, glorious battles, and the joy of making new friends both in 1100AD and in real life. We thank you for being with us throughout the year, as well as the holidays, as we always do our best to make the game as exciting and fun as possible. To celebrate these holidays, we will be bringing several exciting features, which consist of two parts: First part, active today, will include gifts, discounts, and snowy games. The second part will be active on Thursday, 27 December, and will bring you even more gifts and even more fun. Winter Spirit To get in this winter mood, we have added new heroes to celebrate these holidays. They will not only make your castle look prettier, but will add a holiday touch to your battles. Sibylla of Jerusalem and Templar Knight 
When purchasing a Golden subscription for three or more months, you will receive Sibylla of Jerusalem free of charge. When purchasing a Silver subscription for three or more months, you will receive Templar Knight hero free of charge. Just like last year, all European building will be cloaked with snow. The ground, trees, and roofs of all building will be covered with fluffy white snow, since it is a must-have part of the Holidays. Those that were with us during the Easter celebrations surely remember the “Egg battle” mini-game, and those that weren't will find out what it is now! During the Holidays, you will be able to play the new mini-game “Snowball battle”: The games you play will not give you anything, nor they will not take anything from you. However, for each user, we will track the number of wins, and when the Winter Holiday celebrations will end, top 10 players from each 1100AD server will receive nice rewards. The snowballs from the mini-game “Snowball fight” can be found in quest locations. Less “strong” snowballs can be crafted in the “Smithy” building. Gifts and Lottery Christmas Eve would not be the same without the Christmas tree. And the Christmas tree is just not the same if it has no gifts under it! We enjoy our holidays and celebrations as much as we like to give out gifts, that's why each city will have its own Christmas tree which will give you a nice prize every day for the duration of the celebration. Resources, heroes, artifacts, diamonds, and much more awaits you under this magical tree. Visit it regularly and enjoy the gifts you get! Also, you will get gifts in our already traditional Christmas Lottery. Everyone can participate in it to see how lucky they are. Just like last year, it is a ticket-based lottery, which means that you can purchase a ticket (or several tickets) which might be lucky and get an awesome prize. There are three types of tickets – bronze, silver, and golden tickets. The type of ticket will determine the value of the prize and the chance to win it. More info on the types of lottery tickets: Bronze ticket (costs 5 gold) 1) Conditionally free hero 2) Artifacts level 1-4 3) Gold (up to 7 coins) 4) Investment of resources into Library 5) Medium amount of resources (different amount of resources of each type) 6) Large amount of resources (different amount of resources of each type) Silver ticket (costs 10 gold) 1) Conditionally free hero 2) Artifacts level 1-4 3) Gold (up to 25 coins) 4) Investment of resources into Library 5) Large amount of resources (different amount of resources for each type) 6) 10 000 resources of each type Gold ticket (costs 30 gold) 1) Conditionally free hero (of a higher level) 2) Artifacts level 1-4 3) Artifacts level 3-5 4) Gold (up to 80 coins) 5) Investment of resources into Library 6) 50 000 resources of each type 7) Diamonds 8) Silver subscription for 7 days 9) Gold subscription for 7 days Attention! Please note that many prizes may look similar in these tickets, but that is not the case. It actually means that there is less chance to win a level 4 artifacts with a bronze ticket, than with a silver or gold ticket. But if you think you are extremely lucky, then you can get immense riches from even a silver ticket. Try your luck, and remember, Lady Luck loves those that dare to risk it all! We will also never forget those that are in need of love and are less lucky than others. We will continue the tradition of giving back to the community by giving gifts and joy of holidays to kids whose smile is the best gifts for us. 20% of gold invested into the lottery tickets will be donated to one of the orphanages in Riga. Discounts Besides all these gifts, we will also be giving nice discounts for several of our services: 80% on renaming the hero; 50% discount on subscriptions: Newbie (Full Time), Golden, Silver, and Baron Package; 50% on building underpass; 50% on creation of your own Coat-of-Arms 40% discount on supporting paid hero These discounts will be active from 19th December to 3rd January. While we are discussing subscriptions, did you know that when purchasing Gold or Silver subscription for three months or more, you will receive unique holiday heroes? Hottest offer of the holiday season To make the winter season full of exciting battles and wonderful exploration of new lands, we will DOUBLE the amount of diamonds received when purchasing gold. Please note that this offer will be valid for only one day, on Saturday 22nd December*, on all 1100AD server. *From 10:00, December 22 till 10:00, December 23 (Server Time) Return of crafted artifacts During winter holidays, all quest locations will drop rare ingredients – Topaz, Sapphire, Ruby, and Emerald, which you will need to create a unique artifact called “Ancient Frankish Crown”. It should be added that this year, you will be able to use this artifact one more time. Please note that the use of the Ancient Frankish Crown again is only possible if you are up to 27 December 2012 have already used this artifact. If you are going to use it for the first time after December 27, 2012, you lose the chance to wear it again Besides the main events in-game, you will be able to participate in our events in social networks Facebook and Vkontakte. Other updates Beta, Crusade, Livonia, Bohemia, Holy Grail, and Aragon servers will be updated with entirely new objects for these servers – Historical cities, which will give their owners additional bonuses: - additional population in the city; - additional mercenary points; - resource extraction bonus in the city. Merry Christmas! =====UPDATE===== Gift shop Dear players, we are happy to announce the update of the year – the introduction of a Gift shop! This feature has been requested for a long time, and we have finally done it! You can now give gifts to each other, that include resources, subscriptions, paid buildings and even heroes! Give nice gifts to your friends and surprise them! Please note: To open the gift shop, click the diamond icon (on the right part from the main screen of the old interface, and on the bottom right in the new interface), then select the “Gifts” tab. In the appropriate field, enter the login of the player you wish to give the gift to and give them the selected gift. |

in first place: thanks for the fast answer.
but you should really reconsider this decission. there are at least 3 reasons to do so. 1) this renders my last 3months of robbing and spending in library pointless. without me having any chance to have forseen this. although this is a personal point of view, im sure it doesnt applies only to me. 2) i was already wondering why roman71 did use his crown 1month ago whilst beeing already close to his 12th control-point (on grail). obviously he was informed about this upcoming feature - at least - 1month ahead of a casual player like me. this is not tolerable from any point of view. 3) every1 not owning a crown right now (beeing it lack of money, starting late or even just next year) will never ever have a chance to catch up in ranks with the already high-control-point players, no matter how much time and/or money he spends. there are several options to solve this limiting of new players. if implementing a real counter to the crown-artefact (and not just a resetable bool indicating use) is beyond your developers abilities or available time, just implement a new artefact with the same ingredients and purpose but different name/icon. another option: on use of crown, tranfer the already accumlated resources to control-point to next level. example: i am at level 10.4, usage of crown would lift me to 11.4 (instead of 11.0 like done right now). although this option wouldn't help any1 not owning a crown right now.. |

I am very much against this suggestion since being 40% towards city point 8 is many times easier than becoming 40% to city point 9. I would be fine if the total resources spent beyond reaching 8.0 were applied to resource spent beyond 9.0, just know that your percent of completion of the next level will be way less than 40%. I believe buying an Obelisk point already works like this. |

although your point is basicly true you miss my original idea: 1crown should give you 100% control-point-boost (considering that we have only surprising short timespan of 7days to reach next controlpoint level). atm it does so only if used at 0%. implementing your way would give a certain % boost for current level and a boost for next level but in total less than 100%. example: you are at x.5 level. implementing your proposal would lift me to (x+1).(5/2.5) = (x+1).2 giving you [(x+1).2]-x.5 = 0.7 = 70% boost in contrast to usage at x.0 level which would gain you 100%. (the 5/2.5 part is from level x+1 needing approx 2.5times the resources level x needs) |

your argument is flawed.
you are only thinking about how to help the little players, but you're not thinking about how your suggestion will hurt the little players. I currently have 10 cities and 33% towards city 11. Do you realize how much more of an advantage I would have over the little players if I could use the crown and have city 11 and 33% towards city 12? I agree with Raven that if a change is made, that it should only be the resources you already donated towards the next city that should be added to your next city point when you use the crown. Therefore you still get the free city point, and the resources you donated so far do not go to waste. |

you dont get my point. sorry. you would even get more advantage if using your crown after reaching level 11. this is not the point. the point is that we got a 7day deadline without a warning ahead (at least the non-roman71 ones amongst us) on a mission that takes weeks to months (finishing control point). anyway i dont want to argue further on that point. it was just one out of three options. and the worst one cause it doesnt helps ppl without a crown right now. |

It's funny how you are stating this as if it was a fact. Can you prove it? I would rather believe that you can't, because I am in the same position as you are: I have been robbing and "feeding" the library, too. Had my order master on grail known that this was in vain, he would have told me, don't you think? 
* * * As for the discussion on how those crown artifacts work or don't work, I think it is something that needs to be up to the developers. They give us the tools, we play the game according to what is provided and according to our preferences. What I do believe the developers should do in this context is ... ... announce such drastic changes somewhat earlier. ... see and solve the problem of new players having almost no chance to catch up to older and more experienced players. (And I do not believe that increasing the possibilities to achieve something in this game with gold is the right way to solve this problem.) |

i saw with my own eyes that he jumped from 11.6 to 12 in controlpoints 1 month ago. unless he is some kind of hacker he used his crown. unless he has absolutly no clue about this game there was no need to do so unless he calculated that he wont reach next level in time before this x-mas miracle happened. thats enough prove to me. i dont know you nor him nor your relation, but i dont think that your relation is any anti-proof in that case. |

You are jumping to a conclusion here, I'm just mentioning that. 
Indeed, but the "evidence" for your claim isn't of a better quality in the first place. This discussion won't lead us anywhere, I suppose. * * * Well, you are doing it with one control point more, but technically we were still doing the same thing. 
* * * I stated my personal opinion to this above. * * * As a moderator, I am warning you hereby: It is not allowed to impute manipulation to anybody, be it the developers or a player, without at least providing real evidence. |

[...] I also was extremly wondering why Romann71 uses his crown at 11.6 [...] No one would use the crown at 11.6 Only if he knows that he can't reach his next city in time. So he could already rob for his next city point. [...] This isn't a good solution! I like the ideas from crarovew!
