BLOODTHIRST FOR KNOWLEDGE -
THE KING'S SECOND TOURNAMENT
A new Museum of Natural History has been built at Centrum and has been staffed by biologists and naturologists from the Empirium. The only thing they lack are a wide variety of specimens from the various creatures that inhabit the lands of Illyria.
His Majesty bids all the Lords of Illyria to send their armies far and wide to slay these creatures.
When your army slays each group of beasts there is a chance that your
troops can retrieve prime anatomical specimens. The more beasts that
are present at a location, the more likelihood that usable remains can
be retrieved.
As this is a mighty work of knowledge to benefit the Kingdom as a whole, His Majesty has forbidden the theft of these specimens from player towns for the duration of the tournament - although his military advisors suggest that Lords might certainly use some more cunning and underhand tactics to hamper their competitors' efforts.
There will, of course, be prizes for winning the tournaments' various
categories, and these prizes are designed to encourage individual Lords
as well as Alliance competition. The currently leading Lords and Alliances in each category are available on the Tournaments page. His Majesty eagerly anticipates these specimens and the results of the valuable research into their possible uses, and bids every Lord and Alliance the best of luck in this endeavour.

Tournament Closed!
Prizes to be distributed shortly. Killed NPC units will "drop" anatomical specimens which your armies will automatically collect and bring back home to your home town, automatically delivering them to your Town Inventory on their return. You can see what your soldiers have collected by viewing the Troop Movement page (whilst they are in motion). You can see what specimens your town has by viewing the Town Inventory, which is accessible via a satellite button on the City Map main icon. You can see your progress against other players and/or alliances on the Tournaments page which is accessible via a satellite button on the World Map main icon. THE PRIZES There are 5 major Prize Categories: 2 of which are Alliance categories, and 3 of which are Individual categories. Players in an Alliance automatically participate in all 5 categories (so long as they retrieve at least one specimen for the alliance total), whilst players not in an alliance only participate in 3 categories. There is also a general reward for every player who collects any anatomical specimens during the tournament. ALLIANCE PRIZE - LARGEST COLLECTION The Top 3 Alliances that gather the most total creature anatomical specimens (of any kind) will receive the following rewards for each participating member of the alliance:
ALLIANCE PRIZE - MOST COMPLETE UNIQUE COLLECTION The Top 3 Alliances that gather the most complete specimen collection of different creature anatomical specimens will receive the following rewards for each participating member of the alliance:
INDIVIDUAL PRIZES - LARGEST COLLECTION The Top 3 Players that gather the most total creature anatomical specimens (of any kind) will receive the following rewards:
INDIVIDUAL PRIZES - MOST COMPLETE UNIQUE COLLECTION The Top 3 Players that gather the most complete specimen collection of different creature anatomical specimens will receive the following rewards:
INDIVIDUAL PRIZES - GREATEST HUNTERS Each individual who retrieves the greatest number of creature anatomical specimens from each different type of creature (eg Rats, Scritchers, Bears etc) will receive the following reward:
GENERAL REWARD At the end of the tournament, King Sigurd's representatives will remove all anatomical specimens from all players in the game, and will compensate each player 10 Gold pieces for each single item taken. THE TOURNAMENT RULES, SMALL PRINT
We wish you the best of luck. SC Edited by GM Stormcrow - 11 May 2011 at 12:45 |

Instead of "first", I'll go with "love".
Love! :)

That's just *very* unlucky in terms of numbers; although it might not be as unlucky as you think in terms of uniqueness. Bear in mind that this tournament has two definite parts - total parts collected and most unique parts collected. The more dangerous / larger the NPC spawn, the more chance you have of getting both more different types of drop as well as more of each item that drops. It is random, for sure, but is weighted by the difficulty of the spawn. Regards, SC |

I also destroyed a legion of npc, over 5k spiders. Which cost me almost 5k tier 2 cavalry (attacked with almost 11k). This gave me rougly 25 items and of four different kind, but still at a HUGE cost, i did get +20k experience and entire 130k gold. Not worth it at all imo. After this I have splitted my army in 5 parts and I have made some attacks on pack and lower, and I have got between 1-5 items on every attack with no loses basically. At this moment, this tournament encourage attacking low-pop npcs and avoid the big one. But shouldn't "legion of NPCs" give more reward since it is so much more damn costly?

I agree, it looks you are getting more of a reward for hitting small groups than you do for larger groups...

Random is... well... random, even when weighted. But if this gives the feeling that we therefore have a tournament that means that the smaller players in the game have a darn good chance of winning in the 3 individual categories by concentrating on the smaller spawns (but being very proactive and hunting them out, or very selective and only hunting one particular beastie, or whatever...), then I think it's a uniquely awesome piece of tournament design, so hurrah for us!
