Undead Event

What is the Undead Event?

It is an event that can be activated once per week during the time frame given in which up to 20 Undead marches attack every city in your alliance, with one wave marching every three minutes. These marches do not plunder your city, but will result in the death/wounding of some of your troops, and they are not effected by Truce Agreements. To win an attack you must kill at least 50% of the Undead army, although two losses out of the 20 waves (<50% killed) will result in the Undead army stop attacking you, therefore not allowing you to gain any more points (unless you reinforce someone else for points). The event ends when everyone in your alliance has either lost twice or completes the 20 rounds.

How to participate

An alliance officer (r4+) should activate undead by going to one of the mountains present throughout the map and activating it there during event time. This will spark the alliance-wide attacks.

Rewards

• Rewards are given in a combination of alliance total score and your score – this type of reward generally consists of
  small amounts of gems, resources, and speed ups – although if you score well, these reward accumulate for a nice pay off, great for improving members of your alliance
• Another reward system in undead is your alliance score ranked against other alliances on your server. For a list of scores be sure to check out the undead event in your event centre.
• A further means of reward is your monarch score, ranked against everyone else in the server – remember, the higher your keep level the stronger the undead, the stronger the undead, the more potential score to be earned – you can also earn more score through reinforcing others

Strategies

One particular strategy from my personal experience that is extremely good for Undead:

1. Coordinate a time with your alliance which best suits your bigger players – they will play a huge role in the success of this. Make sure all small players / those who cannot defend themselves are in your alliance hive.
2. Have all your big players who can complete Undead themselves teleport to a mountain, just over an hours march away from your hive (3 minutes per wave, 20 waves = 60 minutes).
3. Activate Undead, this will start the waves – although your big players should be hit instantly as they are besides the point of activation, your players in your hive will have an hour or so before the first wave lands.
4. Once your big players successfully complete their undead, gaining maximum scores, teleport back to the alliance city – from here reinforce all of your team mates so that everyone may last 20 waves – I would suggest delegating the reinforcement roles before the start of the event.
5. Wait for Undead to finish and cash those rewards $$$ (remember if you leave the alliance before the rewards are given out you will receive nothing).

Troops Needed for Success

A rough guide for the number of troops needed to complete a 20 wave undead per person:

If you are the lowest keep level for your current tier of troops, have at least 200,000 troops at that tier. For each keep level about that tier, increase your amount  by 50,000.

For example:

Keep 25 requires 200,000 T10 

Keep 26 requires 250,000 T10

This may not always work but it is a good rough estimate – remember to try and be on during undead to ask for and give reinforcements for those that may need it. Tech and gens will affect the number of troops needed, please use this calculation as an estimate.

Points to Remember

• If you teleport during the Undead Event, the attacking waves will disappear
• Siege during Undead will be killed (although can be healed in the Trap Factory) – I would suggest you move these to your alliance farm tile, or an army camp etc. just out of your city
• During Undead, there is a slight chance you may gain an “Undead General Chest”, it gives you the opportunity to win Refining Stones, Gold, Resources and the extremely rare Undead General (you may have only one of these)
