Christmas is a great holiday established to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem. Christmas is holidays in more than 100 countries around the world.
On December 25, Christmas is celebrated not only by Catholics, but also by the Orthodox ranks of the countries of the world, Lutherans and other Protestant denominations.
The first information about the celebration of Christmas by Christians dates back to the 4th century. The question of the real date of the birth of Jesus Christ is controversial and ambiguously resolved among church authors.
Perhaps the choice on December 25, associated with the pagan solar holiday “Birth of the Invincible Sun” that fell on that day, after the adoption of Christianity in Rome, a new one was fulfilled.

The entire 1100ad team congratulates you and wishes you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

This year, the holidays will last from 22.12.2022 to 12.01.2023!

CROWN Henrietta Maria

By tradition, we meet each new year with new royal regalia, which will give power and strength to our kingdom. This time we have a complete set: Henrietta Maria's crown, necklace, earrings and ring.
Henrietta Maria, French wife of King Charles I of England and mother of Kings Charles II and James II. By openly practicing Catholicism at court, she alienated many of Charles's subjects, but during the first part of the English Civil Wars, she showed courage and determination in enlisting support for the king's cause.
Henrietta Maria was the daughter of King Henry IV of France and Marie de Medici. All her childhood she was surrounded by political intrigues; her father was killed six months after her birth, and when she was seven years old, her mother was expelled from Paris.

MINI GAME “SNOWMAN”

The holidays are here and it's time to get ready for Christmas! To complete the task, you need to collect special artifacts that can be obtained for research in temporary locations. The resulting artifacts must be inserted into the appropriate slots on the playing field. When all the pieces are in place, the player receives the indicated reward. The list of rewards can be changed for gold.

For each player, statistics are kept on how many costumes were collected. At the end of the holiday, the TOP 10 best players will receive a prize. You can see your place in the top in the TOP statistics.

There is a nice guaranteed prize in the Snowman Minigame - 175 collected tables will give a bonus point and there is an cross-server contest!
TOP 20 best players among all servers who will score the most points in the mini game will receive valuable prizes.

We remind you that in order to get into the top 20 you need to meet the condition:
When identifying winners for the mid-server, a special coefficient will be applied.
The number of artifacts found by the player must be greater than the number of tables collected multiplied by 6.
The use of this formula allows players who really put a lot of effort into collecting to get a decent prize. At the same time, the players who took the easier path remained outside the top.

NEW YEAR COLLECTION
In all temporary locations for research and for completing special quests, you can get a Simple Collectible Chest. You can also purchase a Premium Collectible Chest. It is important to know that simple collectible chests, unlike premium ones, cannot be transferred to another player.


You need to open chests in a special "Collection" tab.


The chests contain 2 Christmas toys and a nice bonus in the form of gold, diamonds and other bonuses pleasant to the players heart.

These toys are not simple, but from the new collection that hangs on our Christmas tree.
There are 5 levels of toys in total.
By collecting toys, you fill out a special album.


If you do not have enough toys to complete the collection, you can create them.
To do this, you need to break the toys into essence, through the menu. Do not be afraid to break toys, once dropped out, the toy will remain in the collection, only repeated toys can be crushed!


Having crushed the toys, go to the Collider section and start trying your luck: you can choose the level of the toy to create, and by paying extra gold, increase the chance of a rarer toy falling out.


Collecting toys through the collider, however, may fail.


You can switch the type of toy you create or try to create this level again.

If you need an ingredient that is definitely not in your collection yet, use greeting cards, which can be found for exploring some locations.

Each level of the collection has its own rune and its own ingredient. Be careful!

But remember: the number of snowflakes you can use to create ingredients is limited to 11, so use them wisely to create the most needed.
If during creation, creation was unsuccessful, then the rune, gold and essence will be spent, but the attempt will not be counted.

When the album is full, you will receive the prize specified in the Information tab.

For each player, statistics are kept on the assembling of the collection so that players can see the progress of its filling.
Collection assembling is available until 13/01/2021. Upon completion, all chests, both simple and premium, will be withdrawn with compensation.

Hurry up to collect the collection!
