    [Dev Diary] Easter Event 2016

    The upcoming Easter 2016 Event, Party Crashers, new Achievement building and more


    Dear egg hunters!

    This year's Easter event will bring some pretty tough guys to your island - the "Party Crashers"!
    Also, a new Achievement building can be obtained by playing the event. Special Guild Quests will provide some extra Stripy Eggs, there will be a bunch of new items in the event shop and last, but not least, we implemented a few improvements based on the worldwide player feedback from 2015. Explorers find a guaranteed minimum of Stripy eggs by a treasure search, for one.

    Read all about the event in this Dev's Diary!

    • Start: 15th of March 2016 (instantly after the Easter game update)
    • Removal phase I: 5th April 2016 around 00:01 GMT
    • Complete deactivation: 12th of April 2016 with a game update


    New content will be added to the game this year. The most noticeable change is certainly the "Party Crasher" camp in the middle of the island (on our so called "event island"). New achievements with a new reward building, new Easter quest chains for level 50+ and of course: The new female Intrepid Explorer!





    Stripy Easter eggs are the new Easter Event resource.
    The following brief FAQ provides more information about the Easter 2016 event resource.

    Additionally, a new Dev Blog will provide more insights on the new event resource.
    It is still being prepared and it is planned to be published on the 16th or 17th of March.

    During the Event, all players have the chance to gather Stripy Eggs (the new Easter Event resource).
    Stripy eggs can be traded. There are several ways to get them:


    • Adventures:
      All Adventures except Scenarios have a chance of providing Stripy eggs as loot.
      The values from 2015 no longer seemed fair due to the Level cap raise and all of the new content implemented over the past year.
      Therefore, the rewards in stripy eggs for adventures have been re-balanced.
    • Expeditions:
      All Expeditions have a chance of providing Stripy eggs as loot.
      There will be no islands with Stripy eggs as colony yield.
    • Collectibles:
      Stripy eggs will spawn on the home island to be collected.
    • Explorers:
      Stripy eggs can be found with each standard treasure (in addition to the regular search reward).
      Explorers will always find a minimum amount of Stripy Eggs by a treasure search.
    • Shop:
      There will be 2 packages with Stripy eggs available in the Shop.
    • Event Quest Chain:
      Every 5 days, you will get One Easter Quest Chain (with several sub quests), that will offer Stripy eggs as reward.
    • Quests & Easter adventures:
      The Event Quest Chains will hold quests for 2 adventures in which hidden Easter eggs have to be found.
      There are 8 adventures in total, with max. 9 hidden eggs each.
    • Guild Quest:
      Every day during the event guilds will obtain one random guild quest from a total of five.
      Completing this quest in an individual level will grant a small amount of event currency.
      The more guild members complete their individual quest, the bigger the grand guild reward will be upon midnight.


    When Removal Phase II kicks in, remaining Stripy eggs will be exchanged to coins.
    Read more about this in the explanation of the Removal phases.

    Please feel free to leave your feedback here.

    Happy Easter!

    The island in the center of the home zone will have a bridge that will allow a general to go after it. This bridge (and this so called "Event Island") can only be used by generals. I cannot be built upon (buildings, decorations or roads) and collectibles will not appear on it.


    The "Party Crashers" will make an appearance on your island every day and set camp on the centre of it. You can choose to deal with this problem by asking your friends for help so you can bribe them off your island, or by taking up arms yourself and send your general to deal with them. Once the camp is destroyed, smoking ruins will be left in its place. Consult the quest details in the quest book for more information.

    Every passing day, the units inside the camps will become stronger, and require stronger units (or more waves). To master this part of the event, you will have to surpass 15 iterations. Every camp has a quest attached to it. Until the camp is defeated by any mean of your choice, the quest will not progress forward.

    Upon defeating the last camp listed (15 times), the "Party Crashers" encounter will be replaced for a daily, very challenging objective, where you have to fight three bosses and some strong bandit units at the same time.


    The "Party Crashers" feature is available until removal phase I.

    None of this year's Easter event achievements will grant event currency. Instead, those that have any rewards attached to them, will provide buffs. Achievements are still valuable on their own, since they are useful to upgrade the Spacious Warehouse!

    An Easter nest building was introduced in 2015. Since then it provides a warm and comfy shelter for your Settlers. With this year's event, a new achievement building will be introduced: The Spacious storehouse. The building works like an improved warehouse but provides even more space. Its level depends on the sum of achievement points gained from Easter 2016 event achievements.






    Finishing Easter quests or playing Easter buff adventures are only two of many ways of collecting Easter 2016 achievement points.
    The more Achievement Points have been gathered, the higher the building can be upgraded.




    • Acquiring the building
      The building will be available as a quest reward from the quest chain "For my most loyal egg hiders". The building will be an item in the Star Menu and can be placed on a free spot. The building will be available after the Easter event 2016, independent of any achievements completed.
    • Warehouse function:
      Aside from having a visual appeal as decoration it serves as a warehouse. The amount of goods that can be held increases depending on the achievement points that earned throughout the event. It is intended that when level 6 is obtained for this building, it's the best storage building in the game, proving even better than an improved warehouse!
      ? Level 1: 1,500 storage - Easter event 2016 achievement points needed: 0




      ? Level 2: 3,000 storage - Easter event 2016 achievement points needed: 200




      ? Level 3: 6,000 storage - Easter event 2016 achievement points needed: 430




      ? Level 4: 12,000 storage - Easter event 2016 achievement points needed: 520




      ? Level 5: 24,000 storage - Easter event 2016 achievement points needed: 670




      ? Level 6: 48,000 storage - Easter event 2016 achievement points needed: 840


    • Upgrade conditions:
      To upgrade the building's level, Easter 2016 achievement points have to be gathered.
      Every time enough points are earned, an icon will indicate that the building can be upgraded.
      The upgrade can be done without any additional cost.
    • Indestructible:
      The building is indestructible. When destroyed, it will appear in the star menu.
      It can be built again and upgraded to the original level again without additional cost.

    The Easter event will be deactivated in 2 steps. As known from previous events, most of the features are not available any more in Removal Phase I. Removal Phase II equls the complete event deactivation (including the shop).




    Removal phase I: 5th of April 2016 around 00:01 GMT


    • Easter quests will be deactivated except Easter guild quests. As soon as the Guild Quest has been changed (midnight), no new event guild quests will appear. Instead, regular guild quests will re-appear.
    • Achievements will no longer be obtainable, and the final score of the obtained Easter 2016 achievements will be the one that determines the strength of the event building.
    • The achievement category will disappear for anyone who has not done any progress on the event.
    • The first spawn of collectibles after removal phase I won't provide Stripy Eggs any more
    • Explorers won't find Stripy eggs any more:
      Update: In very rare cases, when returning shortly after the Removal Phase activation, Stripy Eggs will still be found.
    • Adventure and Expedition loot won't include Stripy Eggs any more if completed during Removal Phase I. Starting them before has no effect on the loot.
    • The Easter design will be removed from the loading screen
    • The Event window will be deactivated
    • The Event shop will still be available







    Complete deactivation: 12th of April 2016 with a game update





    • The Event shop category will be deactivated
    • New trades containing event currency cannot be offered anymore.
      Existing trade offers containing event currency will be invisible until they expire.
    • Stripy Eggs will be removed from the game and exchanged to Gold Coins.
      Eventually the exchange will be conducted one week later, see "Stripy egg exchange"-info below for details.






    With the Easter event deactivation (Removal Phase II) or one week later

    All Stripy eggs will be removed from the game and converted to Coins (1 Stripy Egg = 1 Coin).
    Please keep an eye on the game update / maintenance news for details.
    • Every player will receive a message in the game
    • If there were Stripy eggs in the Mayor's house, they got exchanged to Coins.
      These Coins will be attached to the message
    • In case there were no Stripy eggs left to exchange, the mail includes no Coins
    • Stripy Eggs in the Mayor's house will be automatically exchanged to Coins and sent via in-game mail
    • Stripy Eggs in the Star Menu will be exchanged to Coins and appear as Coin buffs in the Star menu
    • All running trade offers and requests will be removed from the trade.
      The invested resources will be sent back attached to an in-game message
      including Coins instead of Stripy eggs
    • Stripy Eggs as message attachment (e.g. from adventures or Explorer searches)
      will be exchanged to Gold coins. The mail will remain unchanged but contain Gold Coins instead of Stripy eggs.


    Update: New information added to removal phase I and II
