New Round
By: FunForged

  Hello Emperors,

 The whole FunForged team wishes you all a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  We hope you've been enjoying your holidays so far.

 On December 26th, we will be starting a new round called Fast & Furious. This will be our first Fast style round.  Fast style rounds give twice the turns you would normally get each day, so instead of getting 12 turns a day, you will get 24 turns.

 The new round will also be finished twice as fast.  Instead of the usual 30 days Fast & Furious will end in 15 days.

See you on the battlefield,

FunForged

Tournament News
By: FunForged

 Greetings Emperors,

We've received a number of stories from players in Santa's Slaughter, so we'll share a few of them with you,

The team Outbrained has largely been dominating the round up to now, and they've sent us a am  Here's a quote from one of their players on the first day they came out of protection:

"So first day out of protection today, always a very exciting day. Found less good targets than usual but still found a couple. Seems like a few of our competitors are still waiting in protection, and we're wondering why they're in there so long. Will be interesting to see what happens when they go out. The next few days will probably decide the outcome of the entire round (unless we see some mass spy ops in here). Goodluck to everyone, laters."

It seems that their strategies have been paying off so far.  Will any other teams be able to dethrone them and take their place at the top of the leaderboards?  Maybe an alliance will be needed to take them down.

Currently in second place is Depth Core.  We've received some news from tengoku of Depth Core:

"Coming out of protection... tengoku of Depth Core sends out their limited troops on an attack mission against the people of elvishguard of owned1... but before the troops are able to reach their target, they receive a distress signal from home that they are under attack by Spartacus of Soul who has overwhelmed the people and stole 283 land (12/22/09 08:20)."

"After defeating elvishguard and earning 361 land (12/22/09 08:22) and upon return, tengoku sends out the remaining tired and pissed off troops for a retaliation attack against Spartacus.  An hour into the attack.... the people of tengoku receive a message from the front lines that they have restored their honor and defeated Spartacus, earning 624 land (12/22/09 10:40)."

Team Trance is also putting up a good fight.  We've heard news from Empire lul of Trance, who in one session jumped from 106th place to 37th place after playing a bunch of banked turns.

Last, but certainly not least, Sargon, one of our most active forum members, has sent us the front page of his empire's newspaper for everyone to read.

"Cover Story: What just happened?

By: Hue Kairs

What just happened? I'm sure that's what most of my fellow countrymen are wondering. After all, our empire had a great start. From the beginning under the Treaty Of Protection, we were one of the empires at the top. Our industries gave us so much money that we were able to expand our influence at unbelievable rates. 

But what went wrong? Most of you probably think it was the five attacks in two days that did us in. It was, but I think the problem started much earlier. I'm sure we all remember the food shortage right after the Treaty Of Protection ended. Yeah, two consecutive years on the brink of starvation. Not me or anyone was able to have a delicious baconburger for two whole years. How our we supposed to survive without bacon!? The first year our morale was cut in half and the next year it went down by half again. Nearly half of our empire's people had left by the time the mayor declared no taxes for a few years to make up for it. 

Of course it didn't end there. Several years later we run out of Stuff. That meant no more infantry. Well, not that we had enough recruits for the military after that food shortage anyway. So that continued for a few years, but then came the attacks. With hardly any military due to our mayor being a huge noob with his resources, it's no exaggeration to say that we got pwned. We were a big target with all that land, but still, five attacks? And we lost everyone of them, along with more than half of our land. 

So as we all know, we aren't doing so well right now. Although, our mayor has sort of redeemed himself when he hired a couple thousand mercenaries and pwned some other noob empire. Maybe things will turn around soon.

March 2010 Tournament *$100 PRIZE!!*
By: FunForged

Greetings Emperors! 

Tomorrow we launch our second beta tournament. The rules are the same as the last tournament - five-man teams, normal turn and travel times, and a whole lot of destruction. Turns will be stored for 6 days this time, so don't fret about missing out! In addition to the added excitement and bragging rights of a tournament round, we'll be giving *$100* to the winning team to be split evenly amongst its members (Paypal only). 

Speaking of bragging rights, our last tournament was won handily by a powerhouse of a team known as Outbrained, consisting of members sn00py (Runnie), Superman (Chajiren), cameo (Chronion), Yggdrasil and Wolfieyey (dennis). Each team member received 10,000 Fun Coins and a /golfclap from me. 

There have been a few balance changes made since the last tournament round:

All military units have had their ATK/DEF values multiplied by 10. This will allow for finer tuning in the future. 

Mercenary units have had their ATK/DEF values lowered 20%.

The Urban research tree saw some small tweaks, reducing total housing capacity across a few boxes. 

The population growth formula has been fixed - previously your people were far too promiscuous, allowing Urban-centric builds to dominate. They now reproduce as intended.

-- 

Good luck and happy hunting!

-Jarett
