Empire Home Defense Event
On Friday, July 29, 2005, we will be running the Empire Home Defense Event!
In this event, one Empire (chosen manually, generally the empire with the highest population at the time) will defend both of their home continents simultaneously in two two-way battles against the other two empires.
Below are the times the events will be run on the servers:
Werner 11:00 am Pacific Time (7:00 pm UK, -7.00 UTC)
Emerald 4:00 pm Pacfic Time (7:00 pm East Coast, -7.00 UTC)
Markov 7:00 pm Pacific Time (-7.00 UTC)
Preparations for the event should be made ahead of time. There will be a 30 minute warning message before these listed times. This message will announce which empire will be the one defending, and which continents the attacking empires should be on. The battles will begin at the times listed above so make sure you prepare beforehand.
The attacker wins by capturing the zone capitol within 3 hours.
The defender wins by holding their capitol for this long.
Rewards:
- The winning empire will gain access to the losing empire's vehicles for 48 hours after the attack resolution.
- Individuals will be secretly chosen for a special event merit. A list of the individual winners will be posted on Monday. However, the merits themselves will not be made available until the next update.
