Posts from HeroesLAND is another “online heroes” game.

"First Among Equals" Tournament
On Monday, October 17, 2016, a new type of tournament, "First Among Equals," will begin on HeroesLAND.
In this tournament, the Charisma, Intelligence, Abilities, and Skills of all heroes are limited to "standard" values for each level. The corresponding restrictions will be displayed when submitting the tournament application. And before each battle, each player will have to adjust their hero to meet the requirements.
The winners in each division will be awarded medals for first, second, and third place, one of each type, and at least in the first tournament – they will be permanent.
All heroes who finish the tournament and have at least one victory will be automatically registered for the Grand Tournament "First Among Equals" in the division corresponding to their level.
Good luck in the tournament battles.

Costume Parties
We all remember how, in the distant (or not-so-distant) past, no New Year was complete without costume parties. Whether it was bunnies and snowflakes or musketeers and princesses. The employees of the magical laboratory of the Council of Factions also remember this, and they have finally managed to unlock the secret of producing unique avatars that some lucky players have in the world of HeroeLAND.
The first experimental samples of costume parties have already left the doors of the tailoring workshop. These are the Hulk Costume (battle / map) and the Catwoman Costume (battle / map).
These costumes have a number of features. First, they are not durable and only last for a week. Second, for the same period, they grant the wearer a special effect, which, moreover, remains with the hero permanently until the allotted time is up. Third, the creators are asking for only Chronicles for their products, justifying this by the complexity of producing the existing models and developing new ones.
Santa Claus loves us and does not rule out the possibility of such costumes appearing in New Year's gift bags. For now, they can be purchased at the Capital store.

Alphabetical Monsters
Let’s face it, the monsters in HeroesLAND are not very bright. Unless, of course, they are controlled by a player. The recently formed "Society of Animal Lovers and Others" wanted to improve this sad situation, even if just a little. They decided to start, as it should be, with the Alphabet. And everything would have been fine, but the monsters, although not very bright, are cunning and agile. And the lovers, well, they love everything. And so, the students not only started running away from the School but also began to take the letters with them, which are used for their education. After escaping, they quickly scatter across the entire map, and the caring Council of Factions immediately warns us about this.
These runaways became known as "Alphabetical Monsters." And the Tavern owner even opened a trial exchange of letters taken by brave heroes from the runaway schoolchildren, promising to expand the range of rewards. There is a suspicion that he then sells those letters back to the hapless teachers at a high price. There, in the Tavern, you can always find out who exactly ran away this time and in what quantity.

I don't quite understand what monsters you're talking about in HeroesLAND, and what those scattered letters are. I don't remember if there was something about catching something, or am I talking about the wrong game?

Svyatogor and Alexander Nevsky
In early December, we celebrate two important dates: the day of remembrance of the bogatyr Svyatogor and the day of remembrance of the great prince Alexander Yaroslavich Nevsky. The first is loved for his inexhaustible strength and contradictory nature, and the second, among other things, for the fact that he did not lose a single battle.
Therefore, from this moment until Monday (December 11), firstly, in any successful hunt on the world map, Svyatogor Tokens may appear, and secondly, Portals to Lake Chud will open, where you can ask the Teutons "what is their strength?" and take Alexander Nevsky Tokens from them.
These tokens can then be exchanged in the Tavern for themed artifacts.

I don't understand what monsters you are talking about in HeroesLAND, and what those letters are, I don't remember that you had to catch something, or am I talking about the wrong game?

The letters are monsters; you have to take them from the monsters.

2017
And so, we've almost reached the new year, 2017, which we will celebrate with great enthusiasm in the coming days.
In HeroesLAND, the familiar New Year Trees have grown in their usual places, along with their usual inhabitants: Mischievous Cyclops, Kind Grandfather Frosts with their Playful Grandchildren, and Diabolical Snow Maidens. Heroes who are level seven or higher and have interacted with the tree's inhabitants will receive numerous rewards. And in the main one - A Chest with Gifts - Grandfather Frost has put not only masquerade costumes this year, but also a funny fiery gadget: Armageddon's Blade. However, Grandfather Frost is wise and allows playing with fire for only a short time - one hour.
Grandfather Frost also remembered the younger children: as a reward for any successful battle on the world map during the New Year holidays, you can find Sacks with Gifts, New Year Fireworks, "Snowman" Sets, and New Year souvenirs.
We will celebrate until the Old New Year. Happy New Year, friends.

The "Skeleton Coast" Adventure
A new adventure, "Skeleton Coast," is now available in the Tavern.
Your party has lost its way and ended up on the Skeleton Coast. You must reach the Portal that leads home, along the way taking Keys from the Skeleton Kings – 20 in total for the entire party. Movement on the map is hindered by traps that throw the hero in a random direction for several squares.
In case of defeat in battle, the hero is resurrected at the beginning of the path.
Reward: 30 Ancient Coins.

Contest Number 2000
On Saturday, February 11, 2017, at 19:00 MSK, Contest number 2000 will begin.
Each thousandth Contest on HeroesLAND traditionally differs from the others:
1. This Contest lasts for two, not three hours.
2. 1 million gold will be added to the bank of this Contest.
3. Not one, but ten Hero's Blood will be extracted from each defeated hero.
4. All participants in this anniversary Contest will be awarded a commemorative badge Participant of the Thousandth Contest, and the winner will receive the badge Winner of the Thousandth Contest.
The pool will accept bets on the race of the winner of the anniversary Contest.

Five Years. Holidays and Celebrations
On February 20, 2016, we will celebrate the fifth anniversary of the project's release. On February 23rd, we will celebrate the glorious military holiday, and starting with the upcoming Sunday, we will celebrate Maslenitsa week.
As usual, during this time, various interesting locations become available on HeroesLAND: Vampire Bunkers, Scarecrows, Huts on Chicken Legs, and Houses of Wet Undead. Equally traditionally, Immortality Days are announced for the entire holiday period: even when defeated in battles, artifacts will not break, external units will not disappear, and first-level pets will not die.

We decided to celebrate the fifth anniversary with an old Heroes tradition - the Battles of Patriots. Details here.

We are celebrating right now and until the morning of February 27th. Hooray!

The "Competitor" title
The Factions Council has finally found a way to reward the winners of Competitions with a corresponding title - "Competitor".
The title is awarded for 200 prize points earned in Competitions. A hero who receives an award for first place in a Competition receives three points, for second place - two, and for third place - one.
The title increases the hero's attack, defense, magic power, and knowledge by 1, and also increases the hero's spell magic damage and any physical damage dealt by his army's troops by 2%.
The title cannot be obtained before level 15.

Early April
Traditions are a useful thing. They bring a sense of stability to our world. The beginning of April in HeroesLNAD is marked by two traditional holidays: a fun one and a wet one.
On April 1st, the secret dreams of all monsters from all armies come true: they can temporarily take on a different form. A Skeleton can turn into an Angel, and a Black Dragon can turn into a Centaur. And sometimes, other pranks happen.
On April 3rd, heroes, working together, wake up the Water Elemental for his birthday. As a result, from this moment until the morning of April 5th, any battle on the world map may yield a Visit to the Water Elemental scroll. It can either be sold or, after praying, used. After use, this scroll instantly transports the hero to a battle with Tongue-Lashing Toadlings and Spitting Stone Golems, cute but dangerous creatures. The winner will receive a reward in the form of a Water Elemental's Treat.
We remind serious players that it is easy to deal with April Fool's Day pranks – simply re-select the hero after the battle has begun.

Victory Day
Very soon, on May 9th, we will all celebrate the 72nd anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War. We will sing military songs, honor the living, remember the fallen, and believe that no one is forgotten and nothing is forgotten.
In HeroesLAND, once again hoping for revenge, in their Bunkers, the Vampire Bats have been resurrected, supported by the evil Zomboshteyns from their Portals.
This year, in addition to the Signs of Victory over Vampirism, festive Fireworks, brought there by the Dragon Riders, can sometimes be found in the Bunkers. According to rumors, the luckiest heroes can take the Fireworks Recipe from those same Dragon Riders. The Bunkers will be available until May 10th.
Happy Victory Day, friends.

Daily Quests
Daily quests have been added to HeroesLAND. Quests are automatically assigned when a hero logs into the game. They are assigned once per day. The maximum number of active daily quests per hero is three.
You can decline any daily quest or receive a reward for completing it either in the list that appears when you log into the game or in the hero management window, on the "Quests" tab.
Quests are selected from a general list based on the hero's level, type, race, and faction. This list will be updated, so we welcome ideas related to both the quests themselves and the rewards for completing them.
Don't forget to refresh your browser page / client / mobile app.

Hero Specializations
From now on, any hero who reaches level five can choose any of the specializations available for their type.
Heroes can specialize in a skill (the skill's effectiveness increases as the hero levels up), a spell (the spell's effect increases depending on the hero's level and the target's level), a school of magic (mana cost for spells from that school is reduced), or units (in battle, units gain an additional point of speed, and their base "Attack" and "Defense" stats increase as the hero levels up).
To choose a specialization or change an existing one, the hero must use the artifact "Specialization Choice". One such artifact will be given to each hero upon reaching level five. All others are earned in quests.

Over the next two weeks, we will be testing everything related to this new feature. Let's discuss and share suggestions in the appropriate topic on the forum. During this time, the artifact for choosing a specialization will be sold in the Capital Shop. All of these artifacts, except those given for leveling up, will be removed after the specified period.

August Modifications
Regarding the Fortress: Now, within their Fortress, heroes are protected from attacks up to level 13 inclusive.
Regarding the Fortress: The maximum fee that a clan owning a Fortress can charge for visiting its facilities has been increased. Additionally, 10% of the gold earned in any battle on controlled territory is now allocated to the Fortress's treasury.
Regarding magic: The "Clone" spell is now available to all heroes who have read the corresponding Scroll. These scrolls can be found in chests guarded by Dragons and Wizards.
Magical experiments: Starting next Monday, we will be testing changes to two spells. First, the "Antimagic" spell will no longer affect elementals of all four types. Second, the effect of the expert spell "Dispel" will be limited to an area with a radius of five cells.
