PvP Arena

Work in Progress! A work in progress is being carried out on this page by Beelzebob6666, and it may undergo critical changes while this message remains in place. As a courtesy, please contact the user before making edits on this page.

The PvP Arena is a feature for all players of a server to compete and to show their battle prowess against other players of the same server on a weekly basis.

Rewards are credited to all participating players according to their performance at the weeks end. Players not participating for two consecutive weeks are excluded from the feature, but they can always return to it upon request.

This feature is first unlocked when researching the technology Mercenaries in the Early Middle Ages.

The PvP Arena can be accessed via a tower building at the east coast of the the northern sea. Before unlocking the feature, the tower will be in ruins.

On release, the PvP Arena replaced the weekly PVP Tournaments that where fought out between the players of the neighborhood. The PvP Towers in each Age's respective province were replaced by reward chests^[1].

Battle

In the beginning when the player starts taking part in the Arena it will be with a full bar of 5 attempts. If the bar is filled with less than 5 attempts, a free attempt will be generated every 2 hours. Additional attempts can be bought for 50 Diamonds a piece, while it is also possible to fill the whole bar with attempts at once. It's an ongoing event, so the attempts are not reset after the rewards are given out each week.

The player gets to choose between three different opponents that are selected randomly. For each of the opponents, the system's evaluation of the opponents battle strength (easy, medium, hard - based on difference between the own and the opponents ranking), the opponents attack and defense percent as well as the opponents age is given. However, if the difference in combat points and era is too great those players won't be included in your opponents' list. If there are no opponents available from the player base the system will give an option of an NPC opponent instead. The NPC opponents will only be ranked at medium or easy strength.

One attempt is used per battle. No matter if you lose or win that battle, the three available opponents will be randomized again.

Army

A defending army, independent of the city defense army, has to be set up for the PvP Arena. Also the attacking army has to be set up before using an attempt.

Great Buildings

The following Great Buildings do not apply their function in the PvP arena, although they work in other battles:

• Arctic Orangery
• The Kraken
• The Virgo Project

Ranking Points

Each battle fought - no matter if on the attacker or defender side - provides or deducts ranking points. The battle history and the amounts of ranking points gained and lost can be seen in the Log screen.

All players start out initially with 6000 ranking points. As players cannot share a rank, the initial fighting will reflect global ranking. However, this will begin to change as soon as the players start fighting.

As a defender, a player can only lose or win ranking points for the first 5 attacks of the day.

At the end of each weekly PvP Arena, players will experience a 10% reduction in ranking points, unless this takes the score below 6000, in which case the ranking points are reset to 6000.

Easy	+50	-50	+60	-25
Medium	+100	-100	+120	-50
Hard	+200	-200	+240	-100
