Subject: Wake up, Audrey, wake up!
Date Posted: 25 Aug 2013 at 12:07
I decided to open a new thread to plan a massive feeding of the http://forum.illyriad.co.uk/heart-of-corruption_topic2004.html" rel="nofollow - Heart of Corruption .

Why to do it?
  1. Factions are beeing released, but they are just in beta now, can be our best chance for a while to invests some efforts in Audrey before we are too busy with them.
  2. Tentancles are not any more available in the market, they are a very precious items. Prices can go up 10M easily for them.
  3. Just for fun, let's see the heart beating again! Many new players, including myself, have never seen it beating!
FOURTH and LAST WAVE! (1th-20th November)
it's still not clear if the DEVs will help to feed Audrey for Halloween. If it doesn't happen it will start officially the 4th Wave! Some people has kept sending troops and diplos after the end of the Third Wave, so they will be rewarded if Audrey starts beating without help before time. Remember to igm me any unit that you are sending so I can count you as quester in the correct wave!

The main winner will be the quester with a range matching the 3 ending numbers of the Eurolotto of the 25th December. Remember that only half of the jackpot will be used!

THIRD WAVE (10th-20th October)
I leave to you what to use. Diplomatic units has demonstrated to be effective, but less powerful. Again I offer free horses to help build scouts. I will accept also donations of gold or horses so if I have enough I can try again to hire a new alliance to build massively T1 scouts.

Raffle rules:
1) Send you army in advance to try to reach the heart the 15th September
2) take a screenshot of the Movements screen http://elgea.illyriad.co.uk/#/Military/Movements (you have to wait until the recall button disappear). Even if it is not required a minimum number of troops, let's try to be fair, just sending really low number of troops will not be considered an attack.
3) if you are not in the list of questers, send an igm to Gyronn and ask to be added
4) if the Heart of Corruption starts to beat between the 15th and the 20th the whole jackpot will be used in the prizes, if it doesn't just the half of it, and the other half will be used in the next scheduled attack
5) 3 prizes will be assigned: 1 with 1/2 of the jackpot used and 2 with 1/4 of it
6) all the questers in the list the 19th will have assigned a range of numbers, if the ending numbers of the EuroLotto (http://www.eurolotto.com/results/) of the 20th is in your range you will take the first prize (1/2), the other next players over and down you will take the consolation prizes (1/4). To receive the prizes it will be asked as proofs the attack screenshot plus the attack message. If you can't provide them in the next 48h, the next winner will be the player under you in the list for 1/2 prize and lower 1/4 prize and upper you for the upper 1/4 prize.

It is really easier than it looks, if someone wants I can post an example of it :)

I would love to take part in this, will need to dispatch soon to make it for the 1st though im sure. 

Any specific type of units to send? 

Any specific quantity required.

Wakey wakey Audrey *manic laugh*

I would recommend sending any unit you don't want to pay the upkeep for.   Such as cav units in an archer town.  Assassins you haven't used ect.  Units with higher attack are worth more than units with lower attack.  At least according to the other thread. 

I suggest at least 1k units per town.  More is of course better, but 1k means the smaller accounts can join in as well :D

would the soul-forged blade do any damage since it could be a monstrous, or how about the ancient hero who is 100% protected vs magic?

i have a question, do u guys think it is magic protecting audrey or is it a monster?


Posted By: DeathDealer89
Date Posted: 25 Aug 2013 at 23:29
Speaking of commanders.  We know that more damage=more sq's so sending in a commander with +15% may result in 15% extra 'hp' for our friend audrey.

Date Posted: 25 Aug 2013 at 23:47
If I was you I would not waste a soul sword on her, unless you own Skyclad Warriors Elementals, it seems that they can return safe from attack Audrey.

===EDIT===
I posted it bad, the correct units with immunity to Audrey seems to be Elementals. If someone can confirm it, please reply to this post.

My armies are too small to send to audrey. My men would likely get way to drunk to find the mythical beast anyways. The Duke and his men wish you all good hunting, but Ill stay in the borders of Kal Tirikan

It is elementals if you send one in the army it always comes back (so far anyways).

You get a different mail and your army turns around and drags itself home. I don't know if elemental armies triggered an undead army last time - common sense says it wouldn't but I'm not certain.


Posted By: gyronn
Date Posted: 27 Aug 2013 at 12:15
Thank you PurpleRain for the confirmation about the elementals! Shame I don't own any one of them :P

Be aware people, the prize of the raffle will keep rising in the next days!


Posted By: abstractdream
Date Posted: 27 Aug 2013 at 19:42
How will you be doing the raffle?

Also, for those players located in the far north, I figure maybe a maxed Forced March commander of T-1 cav will get there by 9-1 (and I'm not gonna waste a leveled commander) but based on the way it worked before we should be able to get some action during the next few days if it activates. Does that seem likely to those of you in the know?

I have some ideas of how to do it, but 1st September is too close, I'm still contacting the leaders of the alliances, people is joining now and starting to produce the armies. So I decided to cancel the attack that date and delay it until I finish the round of contacts, then I will publish the date of attack at least 10 days before it, and also the exact rules of the raffle.

Date Posted: 27 Aug 2013 at 23:26
I think 10 days is a good time frame it opens it up right across Elgea.

As previously stated in the thread without the ele's no part of the armies come back. So careful with army commanders it would be sad to lose a high level one.

Hmm these weren't around when hoc hit elgea. So I can't see it doing anything other than get eaten. I could of course be wrong but I'm not going to send any of my specials when I plan to feed it. :)

I will also send an army--but I am a relative newbie and don't know what provoking the Audrey will do...Does she spit out undead armies? Valuable tentacles of untold magic potency? Hair balls?


After I post this banner-of-ignorance message, THEN I will go into the Forum and research the HoC...

First she need to be beating, to be beating she needs to be attacked by a large number of troops. Once she is beating, when attacked again the commanders get corrupted and they attack their origin city, when killed they drop a tentacle.

Thats kind of it....

The more she is fed (; this is done by sending dips and troops on suicide missions) the more land she corrupts, once she covers enough terrain she begins to beat (I think she needs about 70 corrupted squares).

When she beats you send units at her, they are corrupted and march back against the city that sent them, these corrupted units may randomly drop a tentacle (of your racial type) if they are defeated by your defending force.

I think that about sums it up.

In regards to the tentacles, I do not think anyone has found a use for them yet, even collecting one of each racial type in a city does not seem to do anything.

[18:18]<Gyronn> btw is there anything else that still have not been discovered from Audrey?

[18:18]<GM Stormcrow> @Gyronn - I can't really answer that Gyronn. Suffice to say that it'd be pretty weird if things did things for no discernible reason or final "outcome".

===========
It seems very explicit the answer to me. Just the mystery is if it is enabled/implemented whatever Audrey has to do, i.e. we still have not discovered what triggers it, or if it will happens in the future despite our current efforts.

Another point to think about for anyone trying to work this out is the Ancient temples around the HoC, these change to a different name when Audrey goes live, they must have some connection to what happens.

That names are posted somewhere?

I think they may just become called 'corrupted temples' and it is when the corrupted land expands to include the 3 temples that the HoC goes live.

The temples were named "Sacrificial Altars" before - like the rest of them. The name changed to "Temple of Outsider/Nameless/Shapeless" with the expansion and changed to "Ancient Temples" now when it died out. 

I do not believe that any of the new updates are required to figure out Audrey, I do not believer that the devs would be cruel enough to give Elgea Audrey, allow us to interact with her - bring her to beat and release undead at us if she wasnt fully live. 

I do however want to make it clear that not all undead armies drop tentacles. I sent several last time allowed some to win when they hit my castles and some to lose none dropped anything.

perhaps you need to sacrifice a tentacle of each type/race at each of the temples, when she starts beating, or when "the system rumbles" Star

Can be a theory, I don't know if the temples accept resources when the Heart is beating


Posted By: Darkwords
Date Posted: 07 Sep 2013 at 09:10
As there are only 3 temples and 4 races it is unlikely that would work, however it is worth a shot if anyone wishes to give away tentacles.

Aside from the number of temples, there is also the fact that many people have tried just sending resources to places to try and solve mysteries and to my knowledge this kind of action has never worked.

The armies are arriving and good news we enabled the first corrupted square from the beginning of this quest! Let's see how many of them we manage to do at the end of the first wave :) The people who still has not done, please igm the composition of your army, we are trying to figure the necessary attack value required to enable a single corrupted square.

As your army from Digne Les Bains moves deeper into Melder territory, the vegetation becomes twisted, wildlife scarce. Your troops have heard the rumours, that none who enter these lands return, and they are greatly concerned. But you command, and they obey.

As they approach [-994|-824] in Kumala

Your army has vanished without a trace, and there are no remains from which to resurrect your commanders, who are now entirely destroyed.

Hmmm - that's what I hit - lost it all troops and commander . hit nothing . Took one for the team. --lol

It takes time and patience! If it was easy it would be a boring quest ;)
Next wave will be easier to build and a lot cheaper than the ones we all sent now.

The attack reports never show you actually hitting anything, you just lose your army, including your commander.

Has anyone gotten any undead headed back to the attacking cities? I don't have any incoming, my army hit at 05:21.

Sorry, I didn't note what troops I sent, but there were 1K of them, plus the commander.

No troops will be sent back at you till the heart is beating. 

All the troops sent currently, are just to feed Audrey enough to start beating.

Until now I had confirmation of 66K troops with an attack value of 2M points sent against the Heart of Corruption. We corrupted 4 squares more, but there are still armies in the way, so I expect that more will be corrupted in the next days. I had only confirmation about 30% of the questers, so probably in 1 or 2 days all that numbers will rise.

Thank you again to all the people who is making this quest possible.
Working together we will see it beating again :)

So... Sending an Ancient Hero to Audrey gave me this message:

"As your army from Cuddly the Beard is! moves deeper into Melder territory, the vegetation becomes twisted, wildlife scarce. Your troops have heard the rumours, that none who enter these lands return, and they are greatly concerned. But you command, and they obey.

As they approach [-994|-824] in Kumala they can see trees twisted out of shape, their trunks split by fungal growths which have erupted from within, dark vines strangling their branches. It seems that the creepers ensnaring the trees are moving slowly, perhaps blown by the wind. Or perhaps it is not the wind.

Your troops press on, moving closer to their destination. But you hear no more from them.

Your army has vanished without a trace, and there are no remains from which to resurrect your commanders, who are now entirely destroyed.

Rumour reports that after your units disappeared in the Corrupted Lands, more land became twisted and dark. Verdant jungle has become infested with putrid fungus and dark creepers, as though the destruction of your forces had fuelled the spread of the corruption to nearby lands."

-- I'm not sure what the bottom bit means. Maybe the Ancient Hero was so strong that he spawned another corrupted square?

Thanks gyronn, to clarify, I was suggesting the devs/GMs start to create time lapse video of events for us in the future. The one I made took up a monitor for about a day, had some bits cutout for various reasons, and I mostly wanted to throw the idea at GM Luna.

Yes it is.

Last bigger coordinated feeding was 20th November.
Video from that: http://youtu.be/zvp05MGhiRA" rel="nofollow - http://youtu.be/zvp05MGhiRA

Based on previous 2 beatings I believe that 73+9 corrupted squares are needed.
(http://www.puzzleslogic.com/illy/hoc.gif)

I tried to find out what is needed for 1 corrupted square and there was theory about +50k exp/upkeep units but this was not confirmed.
My 34500 stalwarts split-ed into 30 armies where not enough and if it is based on exp or on attack or on number of troops it is much more.
