yeah! wondered if every awakening added one spot to be corrupted…

provided this isn't associated with an exponential function, as in the classical 'chessboard challenge' rules!

let's try and 'corrupt' 74 squares?

my own feelings are that the number of squares is variable and that audrey starts beating once a temple square becomes corrupted.

Sounds plausible, but there are enough people watching it this time so we should know, unless its variable, either way we wait.

my guess is that Audrey has always been '74' and we just used to get 73 and 74 on the same day in one huge sweep.

Very little food has gone to Audrey since she hit 73. Instead, messengers and scouts have (sadly) gone to the temple and done nothing. I bet if Audrey had eaten all those instead she would be beating >.<

Serves us right for thinking we knew how it worked and trying to actually 'plan'...

Is the length of the beating variable, or fixed? I wonder if Audrey will keep beating if we keep feeding her.

The devs sort of answered this one last time around. It beat for 4 days and they implied that was fixed. A lot of us complained that you couldn't get units besides messengers across the map in 4 days so they said they might change it to more like 6 or 7 days so that fast spies or scouts could also make it (not counting from broken lands).   

If she ever wakes up we will see if they actually did that change or if it is still 4 days.

Does Audrey wake up due to total units consumed or the size of the waves? I have been training and sending off scouts in groups of 50. Is that any good or should I wait and combine them into one big group?

We think she wakes up from total lifetime (since last wakening) xp of units she eats, no matter size of particular groups.

Although some of the things we think have been wrong lately >.<

I often send big huge groups of scouts when I am feeding Audrey personally. If 50 is how much you want to send, sending 50 at once in one group should be fine probably.

Audrey is awake! Anyone catch the exact hour? I know it was between 3:26 and 10:00 server time today.

So far I see no sign of attack on my city Fry from Audrey (no red birds). But since they are corrupted units.. maybe I won't? I have no good guess how this will actually play out. But I very much appreciate the various people who have been helping defend my town. If more people want to help, I would welcome them... More chance of getting the human discovery.   And hopefully the troops will have a purpose soon.


Perhaps "swift and ruinous" might not be the slow 12 day trek from the heart of corruption I was assuming. Maybe on the last day of the heart beating it just happens? Ok I am just randomly guessing xD

Anyone else who is expecting an Audrey attack seeing any evidence yet?

Thanks, Alcie!

I have been maintaining a steady treacle of smallish armies (60 fast cav)…
Not yet any warning of retaliation…

I'll check ETAs from my two accounts and sat ones, in order to reinforce.

Everybody should post here and in gc, if some warnings come?
