Incidents are little things that happen in and around city, while you are online or offline. Incidents are planned at the first log-in of the day (server time) - so when you did not log in the day before, do not expect to find leftover incidents as only newly planned incidents will appear over the next 24 hours. Incidents were released on October 18th 2017.
Incidents do not appear from the very beginning — they'll start appearing on the next day (server time) after researching Cultivation.
Each login changes the place where existing incidents are placed. You may have up to 15, but no less than 10 incidents spawning during one day. If you encounter more of them, you probably missed some the day before. Also, events may be planned to appear on two-wide roads, no matter if the player has any or even is able to build any.
When you click on an incident, it will disappear and give you something in return. Mainly in-game resources, including 
coins and 
supplies, but also 
medals, 
goods[1], 
forge points[2], boosts, 
diamonds and even units! Rare incidents contain better rewards than the common or uncommon ones. If not collected, each incident will disappear 24 hours after it's occurrence.
For now, there are 16 common, 9 uncommon and 2 rare incidents. They can occur anywhere on the city map: 3 of them appear on the shore, 3 on the water, 6 on your roads (both on single roads and two-lane streets, note that they will stop the traffic if you have animations on), and 15 in the wilderness. Although incidents placed on roads cause a visual traffic-jam, they do not affect the road's ability to connect buildings to the Town Hall. The blocked roads are purely aesthetic.
Incidents have a blinking glow appearing around them very often (on the app, it is a double-blink every 5 seconds), the color of that glow depends on their rarity. However, those incidents that appear on your roads can be hidden by the buildings you have in your city, so you can easily miss them.

Purple Chests[]
The purple chests was introduced to all players 29th June 2022.
Purple Chests appear on the ground around the city and function quite similar to normal incidents with a few exceptions. There are 3 types of chests, but unlike the regular incidents the different types all looks exactly the same. Without ads you do not know which type of chest it is, but you collect them for free, just like regular incidents. With ads it is possible to see the available rewards and chances before deciding to open a chest by watching an ad.
Possible rewards:
| Reward | Common chest | Uncommon chest | Rare chest | Chance |
