Second one – special offers and discounts available for few days only or even several hours starting on Christmas, New Year's Eve and Orthodox Christmas day.

If all conditions are met, battle will occur automatically, and its results are displayed in "Battles" tab in the Christmas tree menu. As well winner will receive kingdom event with reward gift. CONTEST: HERO OF THE SNOW BATTLES! We gather win and loss statistics for every player who ever participated in snowball battle. Top 10 players from every server will receive special prizes after the event end. Players are awarded in 2 categories: most battles played and most battles won.

When festival ends, those elements won't be available for purchase anymore. * Very special festival units – santas and snowmen. Just for the time of celebration and only in game shop! * 50% discount for all subscription types (except for Eurasia server); * 20% discount for personal coat of arms creation; * 70% discount for 'Vassalage' Order skill upgrade. AND FOR THE WHOLE FESTIVAL PERIOD: * Loot is doubled for every location; * Call of Arms gets you twice as much mercenaries. * Temporary festival location of Laponia is guarded by angry snowmen, but even novices can fight them. You can get many festival artifacts there, like snowballs, christmas tree decorations, antlers and many more. When this location appears in the valley, all nearby players get a notification with location coordinates. So, one year ends, another one starts. Seasons change and so are we.

why riga is selling meat-shield ?
you can buy the angry snowmen now (19g = 50 snowmen); the big gold-spenders, thats the people with already the biggest armys, cant be touched anymore, because angry snowmen dont need pop and dont need stars, they only need gold. the balance of the game (if there was a little bit) is gone now |

That is the main part and it is a huge problem. I haven't seen it really exploited so far, but this feature opens up the option to invincibility. This needs to be stopped asap: Either delete all santas and snowmen from all armies right after christmas or give them an appropriate cost in mercenary points or population. Act swiftly though, or else a nice little christmas special has a huge and lasting impact on the balance of power on your servers! |

I am sorry developers, the price you put on the rare jewel is just plainly robbery. I feel for those whom play the game hard and then get kicked in the guts with the monetary value of items such as this.
I will not purchase one of these and quite frankly will consider if this game is still worth the effort. City points should be hard, and the original crown was a compromise if can only be used once per year. I urge you to reconsider the value here before you lose too many players. Josh aka Grumpydog |

although we are all happy to receive free resources and are thankful for the Christmas gifts...I would like to share a complaint for you guys, so that maybe you can fix it for future promotions Players did not receive 200k resources exactly. From information compiled from several players, it seems that the Christmas resource present varies between 160k resources and 230k. For example, I received 208k resources. |

Hey, you understand what this means exactly? The crown is still valid after the new year, you never lose it. So its not wasted and if you have 2 Frankish crowns all you need is the new gem to make it the new crown. Thus gaining 2 new city points Up to now the crown was only available for 12 months and then replaced by a new crown. The change is ....now you can use 3 crowns at any time. If you have not used them already. You have not wasted your gold bud, you should be happy at that and the extra time to use the crown has to be a good thing. |
