Throne hall

Tournaments  

In-game Competitions, which cover different aspects of the game:

Economic development;
Military development, attacks and enemy subjugation;
All other important aspects of the game.

Tournaments are divided into two main categories:

• Solo tournaments which require the sovereigns to reach personal achievements and results;
• Alliance tournaments, which require achieving goals with teammates.

Tournaments have levels of rarity - some tournaments will occur rarely but will be longer, containing greater rewards. The rewards are divided into milestones according to the achieved result and are given away at the end of every tournament.

The types of rewards can be:

Diamonds;
Resources;
Different items.

• The players in realms with speed x4 compete in cross-realm tournaments. In these tournaments, the players are distributed in groups, defined by their net worth points. This means that all players from these realms compete against each other instead of competing with players from their realm only, based on their net worth points.
• The players in realms with speed x10 compete against players from the realm only. They are not distributed in groups by net worth points.
• Group distribution is made only at the start of each tournament. If a player goes over or under the net worth points required for the group he was distributed in, he will not be moved to a different group until the tournament lasts.
(Group distribution is determined based on the net worth points of the account at the time of the first action to earn points in the tournament, when the group is actually assigned.)

* If there are not enough active players in the realm, а tournament will not take place.

- Artillery Line
- Archery Line
- Cavalry in the Frontline

Fortress Level 3 – 1 Tower
Fortress Level 4 – 2 Towers

А Technology that increases the distance from the Empire at which a trading post can be established. 1st level grants distance of 20 Imperial miles from the Capital. Each subsequent level grants an 8% increase over the previous level and additional 5 Miles to the radius.

Trade potential  

An abstract measurement which defines the possibility for a holding to earn additional gold which goes directly to the treasury. For annexed provinces the potential is calculated on the basis of population number of two adjacent provinces and the less populated holding determines the potential. The more villagers there are, the greater the potential. Trade potential cannot be utilized without the construction of imperial routes between provinces. Every level of an imperial route grants 10% utilization of the potential (of the less populated holding). Colonies follow the same principle, only you need to construct a trade route in order to use the potential.

For trading posts the potential is determined by the type of special resource it lays on.

For more information about Trade potential, click here.
