The 1100AD Team would like to congratulate everyone with the first autumn celebration – The Knowledge Day!


A special tree will appear in each town – the Oak-Tree that will be bringing the town owner gifts every 12 hours. Don’t forget to look under the tree and collect your gifts!

The Oak-Tree can also let you win the ‘Paper-ball Fight’ mini-game.*
Each player’s winning stats are kept; the top ten winners per server will get valuable prizes on completion of the holiday days.

The fighting paper-balls can be found in the adventure huts as well as in the shop.
The stronger ‘paper shells’ can be made in the Blacksmith’s.


THE PRIZES FOR THE TOP TEN PAPER-BALL THROWING FANS!
The contest has two categories: by the number of fights and by the number of victories.

The prizes:
50 diamonds and the lvl 30 holiday heroine for everybody.

The 1st place: +1 town control point + the artifact ‘Teutonic Shield’ + 1 extra point to one of the main order skills (at the player’s choice).
The 2nd Place: +1 mercenary camp control point + the artifact ‘Replica of Tizona’ + extra point to one of the main order skills (at the player’s choice).
The 3rd Place: a set of blueprints to build the Blast Furnace (to the top lvl) + the artifact ‘Templar’s Shield’ + an extra point to one of the main order skills (at the player’s choice).
The 4th and the 5th Places: a Strongbox (lvl 5) + a set of combat artifact.
The 6th through the 10th Places: sets of combat artifact.

The Awarding Rules:
1. Only 1 prize per 1 player.
2. Only 1 prize per 1 Order.
If the one and the same player wins in both categories, the one that has to do with the number of victories is given priority while the ‘quantity of fights’ category prize goes to the player who won the 2nd place in this category.

The Campaign and Result Declaration Times:
The contest will run until 10 September 9:00(server time). At this time holiday tree will dissapear from servers. The prizes will be given within 14 days on the contest’s completion.
ATTENTION: To avoid great differences between players and unfair competition, 1100AD team introduces new limitation: one player during the year may obtain no more than 2 city control points as prizes for playing mini games (this year they are egg battle, paper lumps battle, pumpkin battle). Today winners with 3 CCP are lucky exclusions from this rule. Players may participate in those battles but are not eligible for receiving grand prix.

1. Each player logging in to the game will have one kingdom event with gifts on 1 September.

SHOP
1. Different discounts for goods.
2. From the 1st of September there will be available "Berserk".

THE IMPROVEMENTS

2. We have fixed the error owing to which the wrong building was taken into account when the extracted resources were calculated.
3. We have solved the problem with the population count on dropping a town.

*HOW TO PLAY THE ‘PAPER-BALL FIGHT’ MINI-GAME
In order to play the mini-game, one should send an invitation to another player from the latter’s profile where the relevant button needs to be pressed
For the fight to take place, both you and your opponent must have one paper-ball.
The stronger the paper-ball chosen, the higher the winning chances; you can make your paper-balls stronger in the Blacksmith’s.
If all the above conditions are complied with, the paper-ball fight will happen automatically and its results will be displayed in the ‘Fights’ tab in the ‘Holidays Tree’ menu.
If you win, you will get a kingdom event with the award (a gift).
The player losing the fight will not get anything – sad but true.
