Ladies and Gentlemen,
We are now presenting you the new lands where each one can demonstrate his or her power and will to win! It is in these fields that the greatest battle of all time can take place – the battle of which sagas will be versed and the winners of which will be sung through times!

You are being invited to the Knight Battle Server created in memory and honour of the decisive battle of the Great War – the Battle of Grunwald that took place on 15 July 1410. You will have only 3 weeks to wipe all your rivals and come back home with the prize. Take part in this and prove to everybody that you deserve the rank of the Bloody Lands’ Emperor!

The politics of the server is ‘everybody against everybody’ but you can take with you your true comrades who will not only let you win but will also get their own dignified rewards!

This time, WE CAN HAVE TWO WINNERS!
The first Winner will be he/she who has killed the most of the enemy player’s units (no scores will add for killing mobs and NPC armies).
The second Winner will be the one who collects the most gold in the Gold Mines!

Do not worry because each participant will be given the start-up combat set* at the very outset that can be used to arrange one’s estate quickly enough and make the first army. Also, all the players will be in receipt of the daily gifts with which they can become stronger still. Join, defeat and win!

* The start-up combat set’s contents:
1. 10 town control points;
2. 20 merc hut control points;
3. A set of various combat artefacts: both time-limited and permanent ones;
4. The company of 10,000 of each unit (Almogabars, Berserkers, Hungarian Reavers and Russian Kindsmen);
5. Twelve 45-lvl heroes;
6. A set of the required buildings: storehouses, fountains, artefact storages and the rare buildings;
7. 10,000,000 in resources;
8. A set of the required tokens.
You will find all those in the kingdom events on your first log-on to the new server.


The SERVER RULLES:
1. The battle will be on the completely new server that will become available at 11:00 Server Time on 15 July and will be shown in the list of all the servers.
2. The server will be stopped and become inaccessible at 13:00 Server Time on 5 August.
3. The server diplomacy is ‘everybody against everybody’ or ‘teams against teams’.
4. The players can come to fight alone or in the 3-strong teams. The leader must establish an order and invite friends in order to form a team.
5. The winners will be defined by the TOP of the players in the game at the halt of the server.
6. If the one and the same player wins BOTH first places in both prize-giving TOP lists (for the enemy units’ destruction and for the gold mine exploration), then, he or she will be awarded the prize for the biggest number of enemy units destroyed while the prize for the most gold extracted from the mines will go to the player next in line.
7. Once the server is over, the awards of the winner will go to their accounts that had taken place in the Battle; they will be able to indicate the server on which they would like to get the awards. It is not allowed to get the award sent to another game account.
8. All conflicts arising during the game, as the case may be, will be delegated to the Administration for arbitration.


The TECHNICAL SETTINGS of the Server:
1. Impossible to build the Library.
2. The town control points are limited to 14 (a player has 1 point on registration + 10 points more come as the reward) + it is possible to use the crowns and then the biggest number of the town control points a player can have will be 14.
3. The merc hut control points are limited to 30 + it is possible to activate the standards and then the biggest number of the merc hut control points a player can have will be 33.
4. All the merc huts have three levels. All the merc huts can be built.
5. Less time needed to capture castles and merc huts.
6. The quests tasks for newbies are off.

The Lottery:
1. The spin limit increased to 25 including 3 free spins.

Once the server has been stopped, we shall also reward those players who had been the best in several other thematic top lists – the selection will be at the Administration’s sole discretion. The game nicknames and the list of the awards will be available in the Battle summary. And these players, too, will be getting their goodies on their main combat servers.

Please, remember that Almatinets was the winner of the previous Knights’ Battle. If another player should win this Battle, Almatinets will lose the right of possession of the Monument of the Victor.

Please, be forewarned that the launch of the Knights’ Battle may take later than anticipated owing to technical reasons, as the case may be. Please, have patience and understanding.

May the POWER OF THE GREAT EMPEROR abide by you!
