Comandante de Roma

Durante o evento "Comandante de Roma" você, como um líder experiente, terá o comando de um exército Romano para desempenhar seu papel na guerra que está por vir. Nesses tempos sombrios, o poderoso Romano Marco Vitélio pedirá sua ajuda na campanha militar, para reivindicar o trono de Roma. Ele precisa das suas habilidades de comandante aguerrido para suas tropas. Será pedido a você que derrote seus rivais Vespasianos, que também almejam reivindicar o título de imperador. Você irá liderar os melhores soldados Romanos na guerra com uma artilharia poderosa a sua disposição. Você destruirá as legiões inimigas, ganhar exclusivas recompensas e ter seu nome cravado na história.

O mapa da campanha

O plano de ataque contra esta fortaleza é apresentado no mapa, onde você pode ver todos os campos de batalha. Cada campo de batalha é marcado com um símbolo, dependendo do status que este se encontra:

Símbolo	Significado
	Este campo de batalha pode ser atacado por seus soldados Romanos.
	O campo de batalha foi atacado recentemente e, portanto, é necessário esperar um pouco antes que novos inimigos cheguem neste local.
	Você ainda não progrediu o suficiente para atacar este campo de batalha. Você precisa vencer o campo de batalha anterior pelo menos uma vez para poder desbloqueá-lo.
	Ainda há uma recompensa neste campo de batalha para você pegar. Você não poderá atacar este campo novamente até que reivindique seu prêmio.

De tempos em tempos você terá a oportunidade de escolher entre dois caminhos. Cabe a você decidir por quais recompensas você está atrás! No entanto, você também tem a opção de limpar cada campo de batalha!

Battle against the Roman 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 red uniforms. You can select your own Roman soldiers in the upper part of the window. They are clad in blue 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:

Hastatii deal 50% additional damage against Alarii. If there are 50 enemy Alarii at the battleground and you have 70 Hastatii ready to engage, it is a good idea to select 50 Hastatii. The damage bonus does not count for surplus Hastatii. 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 Hastatii you selected) according to your personal taste. However, it wouldn't be wise to send Legionarii, as the enemy Alarii would deal extra 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 Vespasian 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.

Artillery Fire

When you attack a battleground, you can use artillery fire to support your attack. It will lift the moral of your soldiers, making them more effective and raising their combat power by 20%. After supporting you with heavy fire, the artillery has to be reloaded. Getting the needed ammunition will take a while though. But, if need be, you can also immediately buy new ammunition with some Gold.

The Roman Soldiers

Although you already start your path of conquest with a handful of loyal soldiers, 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 soldiers 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 8-12 random fighters. (Hastatii, Legionarii, Sagittarii, Alarii, Vexillarii). Keep in mind that you can find a maximum of 10 groups of soldiers per day. Of course you can also buy 10 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 however reset at midnight every day.

You will never lose the soldiers you once got. Thanks to a highly skilled healer, your 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 at once.

You will receive a special reward the first time you clear the final stage (stage 33)

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 a day (Rank 1) will earn an award and an effect. Every day at 8:00 pm the ranking gets evaluated and reset. The rewards are handed out as soon as the evaluation is finished.

Award: Warmaster

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 strenghts and very special, unique awards.
