Getting into the Christmas Spirit

Only available through the Christmas calendar, new buff adventures are introduced with this year's event. The "Buff Adventures" are a series of adventures asking players to "deliver" gifts to houses on multiple islands. They are balanced for the following level groups: 16-25, 26-35, 36+. When opening one of the special doors, a player gets an adventure based on the player's level and the door itself (later doors include longer adventures). There will be 6 special adventure doors available in the calendar. Similar to the "Summer event" special adventures, camps on the map are occupied by 1 or 2 different unit types. Each can be "defeated" with 1 or 2 different buff types.

Unit Types:

The different types of buffs ("gift" themed) can be produced in the Provision House by using resources.
They can then be used on houses (camps) on adventure islands to defeat and turn them into beautiful Christmas homes.

    Hitpoints and Attack damage were changed, some units can deal out Splash Damage.
    Also, the amount of XP for defeated units was adjusted in some cases.
  • Unit production times
    Production times for Elite Soldier, Crossbow Man, Cannoneer and Cavalry were decreased.
  • Resource adjustments
    Production times for Steel Sword, Damascene Sword, Canon, Gunpowder and Carriage were decreased. Furthermore, production costs for Damascene Sword and Canon were also decreased.
  • Adventure Types and Icons
    Adventure types were adjusted and a feedback with concrete icons and colours
    for type and difficulty was added for each adventure.
  • Adventure Loot Button
    "Add to Star Menu" and "Add to storage" buttons were implemented for adventure loot mails as well.
  • Adventure Searches
    The Adventure searches were adjusted.
    Possibilities were changed and some adventures added / removed.
