The first special World – in early July! The administration expresses its sincere gratitude to everyone who is playing on the test Worlds of the third season. Only a week and a half has passed since the launch, but we have already received a lot of feedback. The game development continues, and we are pleased to announce that the next update will take place in early July – with the start of the first summer story Campaign: “The Election of the Dwarf King.” “The Election of the Dwarf King” will take place in PvP mode. The World is designed for 1000 players, who will compete for the Runic Fortresses. The rules for this World will be the same as for the current test Worlds – so get ready to manage large armies right away. The main goals will be to form an alliance, capture as many Runic Fortresses as possible, and hold them. The fortresses themselves will appear on the map on the third day after the start of the World. After the fifth day, alliances will be able to declare the beginning of the end of the game. The alliance that holds the most Runic Fortresses will launch the election of the Dwarf King, and once it is completed, the World will close, and that Alliance will be declared the winner. Initially, the election process takes five days, but if during this period the alliance loses a Fortress or another Alliance takes the lead, the election will start again. At the same time, the election process will not take place if two Alliances have the same number of Fortresses. However, over time, the election time will change: - 5 days from day 5 to day 12; - 4 days - from day 13 to day 18; - 3 days - from day 19 to day 23; - 2 days after day 24; After the World ends, all players will be rewarded with credits! Depending on your performance in the game, you can win up to 200 credits. Plus, each member of the winning alliance will receive an additional 300 credits. We remind you that you can use the credits in future Worlds of the third season. And finally, after the launch of “The Election,” new Worlds of the first season will no longer be opened – further Worlds will be opened according to the rules of “The Election.” In addition, another additional World will be launched in August, but we will announce the details later. The administration wishes all players good luck. See you in the expanses of Ashan.

Good luck and inspiration to all players!

Dear users, for your convenience (and variety), we have opened additional Worlds with double speed: "Legacy of Dragons - 2" and "Wastelands - 2".
Please note that these are Worlds from the second season, meaning you will have five races at your disposal, but the ultimate goal remains finding the Tears of Ashi.
As with the previous accelerated Worlds of the "Covenant" - up to three thousand people can play in this World.
We also remind you that the summer campaign is in full swing - several "Election" Worlds have already been played to a logical conclusion, but the battle for the throne of the dwarf king continues, and at the end of summer, PvE Worlds will be launched.

Stay tuned for news and have a great game!

Rules for the second summer campaign world

The events in the first cooperative world, “Awakening of Arkat,” take place immediately after the dwarven king ascends to the throne. Thanks to your efforts, the king rightfully took his place as the ruler of the rune fortresses, but this feat was only the first step on the path to liberating the dwarven race.

On August 16, the Awakening of Arkat ceremony will begin. In other times, this ritual would have been a mere formality, but this time, things turned out differently. Unfortunately for the dwarves, the dark elf armies found a way to the surface and no longer wish to hide in their underground lairs!

No one can say what motivates the dark elves to attack so fiercely... Perhaps they are driven by ancient hatred and a desire to destroy the dwarven race. In this difficult hour, the dwarven king calls upon your help, lords of Ashan, for only you can defend the dwarven strongholds and prevent them from falling into the hands of the eternal enemy.

“Awakening of Arkat” is a cooperative world in which all players pursue a common goal: to defend the rune fortresses for 40 days.

Develop your cities and forge alliances as quickly as possible. Take advantage of the fact that no one is stopping you from capturing the rune fortresses: your task is to capture them before the first rifts appear and the dark elves enter this world.

Your goal in the cooperative world is to defend the rune fortresses at all costs. If the dark elves manage to capture all the rune fortresses in the world at any point, the Awakening of Arkat ceremony will be interrupted, and the campaign will be lost.

It is quite easy to lose the campaign, so do not lose your vigilance. The dark elf attacks will become stronger with each day, and their armies will grow with each hour. If the dark elves manage to capture a rune fortress, they will place a significant garrison in it, and you will have to carefully plan a counterattack to retake it.

The dwarves will be grateful to you for participating in this war. We have introduced a new reward system in the game that encourages cooperation and rewards all participants in the campaign based on their collective achievements, not just the efforts of each individual player.

This system works as follows: for every hour that a player-controlled alliance holds one of the rune fortresses, all players on the server receive 1 point. When a certain number of points is reached, 10 credits are added to the world's prize pool, and the count starts over.

If the players manage to hold the fortresses for 40 days, the current number of credits in the world's prize pool will increase by 20%. After the campaign is completed (regardless of whether it ends in victory or defeat), each player will receive a certain number of credits from the prize pool. This amount will depend on their individual ranking.

Your individual ranking is calculated based on your average position in all three categories throughout the game in this world. In all three categories, the best ranking you achieved throughout the game will be taken into account, and it is this that will determine the size of the reward you receive after the world is closed.

If you finish the game in 1st to 10th place in the final standings, your prize will be 100% of the prize pool.

If you are in 11th to 100th place at the end of the game, you will receive 70% of the prize pool.

Places from 101 to 500 will bring you 40% of the prize pool.

All other players, who are in places from 501 and below, will receive 10% of the prize pool. You will be able to spend your rewards at the beginning of the new season.

Note that earning rewards becomes easier the longer the game lasts. Each day, the required number of points will decrease slightly, thereby reducing the number of rune fortresses that players must hold to increase the prize pool.

Now you know what goals you will face while playing in the “Awakening of Arkat” world. Do not forget about the dark elves during the battles for the rune fortresses, as they are always ready to attack your cities as soon as they sense the slightest weakness. They will stop at nothing to overthrow you – the defender of the dwarven race!

We wish you good luck, noble lords of Ashan!

Teach the dark elves a good lesson!

Dear users, the season of creative contests continues, and after the joke contest, we offer you another opportunity to put your hands to work.
You will need to create a model of one (or all) of the cities in your Kingdom.

To participate in the contest, take a photo of your work, which must include a sign with your in-game nickname (please, do not change your nickname until the end of the contest), and post this photo on our contest forum (http://forums-mightandmagicheroeskingdoms.ubi.com/ru/list.php?2711).

Dear players!

As you know, knowledge is power. This applies to both real life and the magical world of Ashan. Today, we are announcing the start of the monthly wiki article contest, in which you will need to act as wise men and fill our improvised library with useful knowledge.

You need to write an article that will be interesting to other players and will also contain useful game knowledge. We do not limit you in choosing a topic. It can be either a guide for experienced players or detailed, comprehensive, and easy-to-understand guides for beginners.

Remember that not only the informativeness of the material is important, but also its presentation. The easier the guide or article is to understand, the better.

Once your material is ready, add it to the wiki by clicking the "Create Article" button. Moderators will review it and "open" it for public access. After that, your work will be considered accepted for the monthly article contest.

You can find more details about the contest on our forum.

And now, about the prizes! The authors of the three best works will receive 200 game credits.

The first contest will run from September 1st to 30th, and on the 31st, we will summarize the results and announce the winners.
