Greetings Governors,

We plan to update the game to version 1.0.57 “Museum of Wonders” around 2022/05/16. Before the update, you can download data in advance via events to earn rewards. We apologize for any inconvenience this might cause and will send you a compensation reward once the update is complete.

1. Museum Day Event Series

Museum Day is here! Museums are treasure troves of culture, history, and discovery, containing the wisdom and imagination of humanity, and inspiring us as we walk the path toward our future. We’ve prepared a great series of events to celebrate our cultural heritage:

1) Pursuit of Knowledge: Complete quests and celebrate Museum Day!

2) Treasures of the Museum: 7 days of questing for great rewards!

3) Precious Pottery: Collect points to earn rewards for you and your alliance members!

4) Masters of Craft: Collect Clay and exchange it for rewards!

5) Number 1 Collector: Receive rewards including Epic City Theme Choice Chests!

6) Treasure Hunt: Use the lambskin parchment maps to guide your scouts to hidden treasure.

7) Race Against Time: Who can eliminate the most barbarians in a short period of time?

The events will go live within 2 weeks of the update. See the Event Calendar for a detailed schedule.

2. All-New War of the Ruins Event

On the ruins of an ancient battleground, the sandstorm blows fierce. Here, warriors of many kingdoms gather, crossing earth scorched by the fires of war, recruiting mercenaries to fight for the ultimate glory!

1) 8 governors will enter the War of the Ruins battlefield solo, each selecting 1 troop to do battle with.

2) Mercenaries will appear on the battlefield. Lead your troop toward them to recruit them and gain more units. Defeating other governors’ troops will allow you to recruit their soldiers into your troop.

3) Troops on the battlefield will periodically be granted a random skill.

4) The battlefield is a harsh mistress. The Fires of War will approach the center of the map, dealing continuous damage to troops caught in the choking sand and dust. The last troop left standing will be victorious.

Note: Go to the app store to download the latest game update and take part in War of the Ruins. Check the Events screen after downloading the update for more details.
