Posts from HeroesLAND is another “online heroes” game. Auto-translated

The Grail is the greatest artifact in the HeroesLAND world, allowing you to build a structure in a town that grants the hero permanent bonuses and generates 1000 gold per day. However, finding it is a long, difficult, and arduous journey. Each of the obelisks scattered across different worlds grants only a small fragment of the map, which marks the starting point of the path. Only by visiting all the obelisks can the hero discover and excavate the passage to the world of the Grail. The world of the Grail is full of the most dangerous adventures, and the path through it will lead the hero to his goal. By delivering the Grail to his home town and building a structure for it, the hero will gain an advantage that cannot be achieved by other means, depending on his race. Details and discussion can be found here.

The open beta testing of our project will end on February 20, 2012. The release will begin with the celebration of Maslenitsa. The release, of course, will not mean that we will stop introducing new features and further refining the balance. However, we will devote most of our attention to creating content (quests, events, etc.) and reference materials. All heroes who participated in the beta test will be fully preserved. And those who reached at least level 10 will receive a Beta Tester Badge as a memento.

is the turn order the same as before?

and "hotkeys"?

Is the turn order the same as before?
And what about "hotkeys"?

I think that in a few days the turn order will be as it should be (knock on wood three times to avoid jinxing it).
Yes, the hotkeys are the same.

The bright holiday of Maslenitsa didn't pass us by either.
In the vastness of the world map, for the next week, you will be able to find Huts on Chicken Legs. Heroes who wander there during the festivities will meet Pancake Grandmothers, who dream of feeding everyone with pancakes until they are barely alive. And they will do it purely out of the goodness of their hearts.
Those who can survive the feast will gain something useful from communicating with the cheerful old women...

Disturbing reports have begun to arrive from the vicinity of the Bunkers: suspicious activity has started behind the long-sealed gates. It seems that the surviving Vampires from that memorable May are plotting something insidious and want to spoil the upcoming Warrior's Holiday.
By joint decision of all factions, it was decided to temporarily lift the protective enchantments from the gates of the Bunkers for a few days, so that heroes could show the inhabitants there who's boss and remind them of the eternal truth. In the Taverns, the exchange of Victory Tokens over vampirism will be reopened for this time.

We congratulate all the men on the upcoming Warrior's Holiday.

Gifts.
Everyone loves receiving gifts, and some even enjoy giving them. Now, our heroes have this opportunity.
Gifts can be purchased at the Capital Shop. A gift can be accompanied by a dedicatory inscription and, once given, exists for a limited time.

We congratulate all our heroines on the wonderful spring holiday - March 8th. We also want to congratulate mothers, sisters, daughters, friends, wives, grandmothers, and great-grandmothers of all our heroes. May it always be easy, bright, and joyful for them.

For three days (March 7th, 8th, and 9th), heroes can receive Spring Bouquets during any successful hunt on the world map, which they can then give to anyone they deem worthy.
In addition, during these days, thanks to Clara, artifacts will not be broken in case of defeat in battle, and thanks to Rose, non-native troops will not disappear.

A mail system has been added to HeroesLAND. Now, our heroes can exchange letters while being anywhere in the world. The mail system provides a "Clan Mailing" service for Clans. The mail system is available to heroes of level 3 and higher. The number of incoming messages is limited to 50, and the number of entries in the Archive is 100.

The spellbook in battle now looks like a proper hero's spellbook:

It is not uncommon for a Spearman to dream of becoming an Angel, a Fiend to become a Devil, and a Basilisk to become a Wyvern or even a Hydra, but not all of them succeed. However, there is one day of the year when, among other things, it is permissible to try on other guises. In the mundane "real" worlds, this day falls on April Fool's Day.
However, the gods also like to joke, which means that any transformations are possible, including reverse ones. In addition, on this day, other amusing pranks sometimes occur.

In any battle on the map, conducted this weekend, festive Kulichki may appear in the loot.

PvP reform on the world map.
Phase one.
Another type of area has appeared on the world map, characterizing the degree of danger. Now there are four types:
1. Peaceful area. No battles are possible in these areas.
This type of area is rare. Usually, these are exits from Portals or Fortresses.
2. Normal area. Battles between heroes of the same Faction are not possible in this type of area. A battle between heroes of different Factions is possible if both heroes have reached level 11, the difference between their levels is no more than two, and a peaceful interval of 20 seconds has passed since the last battle for both heroes.
This type of area is found around the Capitals of Factions, in the Children's Dungeon, and in the Preserve.
3. Dangerous area. In these areas, battles between heroes who are on the same map cell automatically begin if the level difference between them is no more than two and at least one minute has passed since the last activity of both heroes. Activity is considered to be a hero entering the game, teleporting, moving on the map, exiting a battle, etc.
This type of area is the most common.
4. Hostile area. PvP battles here are limited only by the level difference and the peaceful interval after the battle. When entering such an area, a hero must be prepared for any surprises.
These areas are mainly found in regions accessible to high-level heroes and on quest maps. Small areas of hostile zones surround Fortresses.

Battles on the map are not possible between heroes who are in the same party or belong to the same clan.
The interval during which a hero who has left the game is considered to be online has been reduced from two minutes to 45 seconds.

The second phase of the PvP reform will be the expansion of ways to obtain high-level artifacts. The third will be the implementation of inter-clan diplomatic and military relations.

Discussion and suggestions here.

Man-made Portals.
The leader of a level 3 clan, who owns a Fortress, can build one-way Portals on the map using Scrolls, which are sold in the fortress shops. First, the exit is built, and then the entrance, which will be automatically linked to that exit.
The following restrictions are taken into account when building objects:
1. Their construction is impossible in peaceful and normal areas, as well as in places where Astrolabes do not work.
2. Within a radius of 1 cell from the construction site, there should be no other objects or water surface.

Only members of the clan that owns the Portal can use it. Other heroes will be able to destroy the entrance to the Portal if they defeat the guards.
Managing the object's guard is available only to the clan leader and only if they own a Fortress. Any packed neutral troops can be used for guarding.

The prices have been changed, and the range of exchanging tokens in the Tavern has been expanded.

May 9th is approaching – Victory Day
Traditionally, in the run-up to this holiday, Vampshires, who once broke away from their creators, begin to stir in the Dungeons.
Equally traditionally, the most daring heroes who have reached level 7 make efforts to subdue the arrogant mutants, receiving Victory over Vampshism badges as a reward, which can be exchanged in the Tavern for commemorative artifacts after Victory Day.

Happy upcoming great holiday, heroes and heroines.

Domains. Archaeological expeditions on the outskirts of inhabited lands have discovered abandoned domains that strongly resemble the ancient cities of one of the Factions in the HeroesLAND world. These domains are surrounded by fairly well-preserved walls, the entrance to them is locked by a Gate, and various buildings have survived behind the walls. All the buildings in the domains are controlled by the ubiquitous mutants, who, apparently, began to gradually infiltrate the rest of the known world from here. It was unexpectedly discovered that the local mutants are almost intelligent, but they agree to open the entrance to the buildings they guard only to those who defeat them in battle. However, the archaeologists decided not to take risks and try to determine the purpose of the discovered buildings. So far, this has only been possible for some of them: 1. Gate. It blocks the entrance to the domain. 2. Hero Statue. The hero who pays tribute to this Statue temporarily increases their attack, defense, magic power, knowledge, morale, luck, and troop speed in battle. 3. Library. Here, heroes can temporarily increase their knowledge. 4. Shop. Heroes of the Clan controlling the guard can purchase artifacts here. 5. Battle Tower. Here, heroes can temporarily increase their attack and defense. 6. Magic Tower. Here, heroes can temporarily increase their magic power. Not far from the entrance to the domain, an old, unguarded Shipyard was found, which, for a certain amount of gold, provides fully functional boats to everyone who wants them, and the archaeologists took advantage of this to return as soon as possible with such important news. The Council of Factions decided to organize two expeditions at once: to explore the remaining buildings in the domains and to search for other domains. And at this time, the most desperate heroes began to frantically prepare to seize the discovered islands.
