Easter 2014: General info

Hi guys,

As seen on the forum, easter is coming!

Now, how to get eggs?

The 10 free eggs offer is still online - but if you claimed it last year allready - you can't claimed it again. But if you're new to the game: enjoy!

There will be some changes compared to Easter 2013 though it will come with loads of stuff and of course: egghunting!

Like last year during the event you'll have 4 quest chains with 5 sub-quests each. Every quest rewards with 10 eggs, completing a chain rewards with 100 eggs so makes a grand total of 150 eggs/chain.

• 2 quests per chain are egg hunt adventures and there are 8 different maps with eggs to explore! Big change with last year: the eggs are spread out randomly! Exactly like the 'collectibles' (herbs, kettles, etc...). So now you have to find 9 eggs yourself because every map will be different.
• As extra notice: every egg you'll find is sent to you in the ingame mail - and the reward of finding them all is 1 egg as well making a total of 10 eggs for this sub-quest.

Other ways of getting eggs:

• There will be special daily quests giving eggs
• Normal adventures might give eggs as loot (+50% when in premium!)
• By buffs made in the Major's House Collections tab
• and of course by trading with other players & for gems at the Trader

New this year is the adventure of 'Garrun the Trapper'.

New as well this year is the introduction of the 'Master of Martial Arts'. A general who can hold 220 units but has a pretty decent first strike (compare it with like 50-60 cavalry) 

Something more interesting:
It's known you can find eggs with the explorer with a treasure hunt. Last year at Siedlervision, a German TSO-information site, they managed to do some predictions:

2014 predicted chances & amount of finding eggs (updated according to siedlervision):

During the Easter event (% chance):
0 Eggs	55.56		0 Eggs	55.56		0 Eggs	55.56		0 Eggs	55.56
5 Eggs	33.33		10 Eggs	33.33		20 Eggs	33.33		30 Eggs	33.33
10 Eggs	11.11		20 Eggs	11.11		30 Eggs	11.11		50 Eggs	11.11

How many eggs you'll gain during the event without trading?
Quests:
150 eggs per quest chain x 4 chains = 600 eggs

Searching:
21 days of searching with a standard explorer:
10 Very long searches gives 6x0, 3x30, 1x50 = 140 eggs each.

21 days of searching with a Savage scout or eggsplorer:
20 Very long searches gives 12x0, 6x30, 2x50 = 280 eggs each.

So an intensive player with the maximum of 3 Explorers & 10 Savage scouts can get:
600 + 3 x 140 + 10 x 280 = 600 + 420 + 2800 = 3820 eggs

A casual player with 2 standard and 1 fast:
600 + 2 x 140 + 1 x 280 = 600 + 140 + 280 = 1020 eggs

(Note these numbers are predictions! So the results may differ or chances even altered with the actual event)

Happy settling!
