Sparta mot Underjorden
Under evenemanget Sparta mot Underjorden har de döda samlat sina trupper i Hades mörka rike. De var begravda utanför staden fler år sedan, men nu har de väckts från de döda. Kalla och döda försöker de ta sig fram genom vårat försvar, bärande Hades flagga. Nu har hades skickat dem genom hans portal, för att sprida skräck och förstörelse. Du har beslutat att kalla in Lysander från Sparta och hans mäktiga krigare som kommer att följa dina order. Nu är det upp till dig att rensa våra vackra öar från dessa hemska varelser och stänga portalen.
Kartan
Anfallsplanen mot de levande döda visas på en karta där du kan se alla de olika slagfälten. Varje slagfält är markerad med en symbol beroende på dess status:
| Symbol | Innebörd |
|---|---|
|
Detta slagfält kan anfallas av dina tappra krigare. |
|
Detta slagfält har för inte så länge sedan blivit anfallet och en viss tid måste passera innan fienden återkommer. |
|
Du har fortfarande inte kommit långt nog för att nå detta slagfält. Du behöver vinna i det förra slagfältet för att komma åt detta. |
|
Det finns fortfarande en belöning att hämta upp på detta slagfält. Du kan inte återkomma och anfalla detta slagfält förens du har tagit din belöning. |
Till och från får du möjlighet att välja mellan två olika vägar. Det är upp till dig vilken belöning du är sugen på! Du är också fri att rensa hela slagfältet!
Under tiden för evenemanget i övre vänstra hörnet, ser du två knappar:
Första knappen förstorar evenemangsfönstret till det maximala, beroende på din skärmupplösning. Detta ska förhoppningsvis ge dig bättre översikt över slagfältet. Vi har även lagt till en zoom funktion på kartan, scrolla bara med ditt hjul på musen, och du kommer zooma in och ut.
Andra knappen under evenemangstiden är ett litet i, vilket står för information. Trycker man på denna öppnas det upp ett fönster där du kan kolla igenom alla tips och förklaringar.
Battle against the Hades enemies
If you select a battleground that can be attacked, the attack window will open. The enemies that are stationed there and their strength will be displayed at the bottom, with their purple uniforms. You can select your own Spartan warriors in the upper part of the window. They are clad in red gear.
Please keep in mind that each battleground has its own limitation on how many units you can use. If you have more soldiers under your command than the battleground allows for, you have to make a tactical decision which type of unit and how many you want to send into battle. Each unit has its own strengths and weaknesses against specific units.
An example:
Spartan swordsmen deal 50% additional damage against Riders of Hades. If there are 50 Riders of Hades at the battleground and you have 70 Spartan swordsmen ready to engage, it is a good idea to only select 50 of the Spartan swordsmen. The damage bonus does not count for surplus Spartan swordsmen. Let's assume the battleground limits you to use 80 soldiers, you can then use the remaining 30 slots (50 are already occupied by the 50 Spartan swordsmen you selected) according to your personal taste. However, it wouldn't be wise to send Spartan archers, as the Riders of Hades would deal bonus damage against them!
As you can see, quite a bit of strategic thinking is required.

Should you be victorious, you will receive the respective reward for that battleground. Alternatively, you can leave the reward at the battleground until the end of the event to claim it at any later point in time. If you collect your reward, enemies will repopulate the battleground again after 4 hours, but every time their forces will become even stronger than before. Think of it as if Hades has noticed a weakness in his defense and wants to reinforce it. This way you can repeatedly get the same reward while the challenge continues to grow.
Another noteworthy feature is that, even if you are defeated when attacking the enemies, the casualties on the enemy side are permanent. This means that you can wear down the enemy with many smaller attacks until you are finally victorious.
Spartan Captain
When you attack a battleground, you can choose the Spartan Captain to support your attack. It will lift the morale of your warriors, making them more effective and raising their combat power by 20%. After supporting you the captain is unavailable for some time, but by spending gold you can bring him immediately back into the battlefield.
The Spartan warriors
Although you already start your path of conquest with a handful of loyal warriors, you shouldn't rely on such a small force. The following activities in the game will demonstrate your power and prompt a random group of warriors to join your army:
- Attacking and defending
- Recruiting units
- Research
- Constructing or upgrading a building
- Casting spells
If a group of soldiers joins your ranks you will receive 80-120 random fighters. (Spartan Swordsmen, Spartan Archers, Spartan Slingers, Spartan Riders, Spartan Hoplites). Keep in mind that you can find a maximum of 10 groups of soldiers per day.
You may also buy 100 soldiers for gold who will stay with you until the end of the event. The gold price for one type of unit increases by its base price every time you make a purchase. The price will reset at midnight every day.
You will never lose the soldiers you recruited from the battlefield. Thanks to a highly skilled healer, the soldiers that were wounded in battle will recover from their injuries after some time. Every 7 hours the healer will visit your military camp to tend to all your wounded fighters. If you want to have your army ready for action again immediately, you can pay the healer some gold, and he will arrive instantly.
Rankings
All players can compete against each other in terms of completed battlefields. Every time you complete a battlefield, you will get a random amount of Honor Points (up to 10 pts). The ranking is based on these Honor Points. No matter what reward you gather or how many enemy troops you defeat, you always have the same chance to get Honor Points.
Daily Ranking
Immediately after you have completed your first battlefield on a day you will be placed in the daily ranking list. The winner of each day (Rank 1) will earn an award and an effect. Every day at 8PM the ranking gets evaluated and reset. The rewards are handed out as soon as the evaluation is finished.

Overall Ranking
The overall ranking works much the same as the daily ranking, but it will not reset. It will run until the event ends. The top 10 players in the overall ranking list will receive several bonus rewards as soon as the event ends. The rewards are subdivided by position in the ranking list, meaning that the top 4 players will for example win exceptional attack improvements of different strengths and very special, unique awards.
