Bravo BillyJack! If I could, I would buy you that brew. BTW, the Germans (in additions to mighty fine games) make the best brew in the world ...

Explorers will not be able to find soccer balls. Without purchasing gems, acquiring soccer balls will be limited to the one time adventures and daily quests.

So, what number of soccer balls can a player expect to obtain throughout the event without making a gem purchase? Would be helpful to know for planning purposes. Thanks!

And, now that we've shown our ignorance of world geography and world sports, they may perhaps attempt to assuage our thin-skinned egos by offering a little U.S. flag in some future event. But I would have Blue Byte know that I for one do NOT want to see a Star-Spangled Banner in this event. There. I feel better. Let's go get a brew.

Good luck with your 3rd post. Hope it's as well-said as your 2nd! You've set yourself a high bar.

The event should end on July 5th.

Thx for the reply. Was the content of the event altered at all, aside from being naturalized? This would address all my confusion. Appreciate it.

Nope, it will remain the same across all territories.

how much space do the friary's take up, is it the same as like a brewery or is there a shadow like the dark castle?

Also what does it take to upgrade them?

Can we have a gem sale with the event? A really, really good gem sale?!

Friaries are the size of a watermill (2x3).

Just something to add:

• The adventures are for players with level 26+ (like normal adventures), because there are enemy camps. Hence, it differs from Easter event!
If someone reaches level 26 during the event they should still be able to participate
• The first adventure island is sent via in-Game message and can be found in your mailbox

Nothing for US watchers. Bah! Unfair we want a US flag.

I am from the USA. I love soccer and the US. I played it from 4 years old through college.

The event is European. We are graciously being invited to share in a promotion that we don't have any stake in. We should be grateful instead of whining about where our flag is. I assume that at some point there will be a promotion where a US flag is offered. I will buy it then.

Until then, it would help if we stop proving the incorrect (for some anyway) belief that Americans are self-centered and uncultured.

bah... the US isn't even involved in the world cup... and neither is Canada (where I am from) so honestly, it makes sense that there are no flags for those countries. :P

If my math is correct, you should be able to obtain 900 balls from just doing adv/quests, and no gem purchase involved. That is enough for one new building and no licenses or licenses and some buffs. Best thing to do if no gem purchase is going to be involved, is to utilize the trade option we all have and get more balls that way.

Might be a bit premature to say how many soccer balls are going to be available per player during event.

I got 12 on first day of the event, plus 90 for finishing the first adventure. Then another 12 today, plus another 90 for this next adventure which I'll be able to finish in a few hrs. That's already 204 soccer balls and it's only been two days.

I have no idea how many matches (adventures) there are, but I'd imagine this event will last more than 9 days if the halloween and xmas events are any indication (I missed easter)

I remember the xmas event and adventure, and I was able to get the coal building no problem so I'd imagine the devs have set it up so that a player can in fact get the friary and 5 building licences without buying gems as long as he/she doesn't spend soccer balls buying buffs. ;)

According to the Germans:

Adventure (6 units á 90 footballs): 540 Daily Quest (1 per day with 12 footballs - 28 days): 336 Total: 876 footballs

Why do you not gain XP for the soccer battles?
06-07-12 10:05 pm

so... when is the event ending...
06-08-12 05:45 am

Dartanian12, you DO gain xp! The first one alone was worth 10,250 -- enough for me to level! You collect it all at the end, not after each camp.
06-08-12 06:14 am

Dartanian12 I got 12140 xp for the first match.
06-09-12 01:06 am

Unfortunately, The shop purchased adventures do not provide any soccer balls and they do not have as much exp points as the original adventures. Example:
The 5th adventure had 15k exp, the shop purchased adventure has only 10k exp points. Still, with loss of only 400 recruits, it is better than Island of the Pirates with a loss of over 600 recruits and exp points of 2750.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/46446892/soccer_sm.gif
IT is a cheap way to level up. I purchased all 12 adventures.

Update: the "Normal" adventures purchased from the shop, have fewer "bandits" therefore have less experience points. the "advanced" soccer adventures have the same as the original adventures and therefore the same exp points. The mix is exactly the same, so the guides still work.

Thanks for the heads up on this. I've been wanting to find a fast way to get xp.

I don't mind the other adventures, but they honestly don't give nearly as much xp as they should... especially once passed level 30 you'd expect to get more than 3-5k xp lol

I do Pirates with less than 400 recruit losses. Doesn't "fix" the R/Xp ratio really, but it does improve it. And the loot from Pirates makes up the difference.

I saw that after I completed the fist match. Thanks for the info.

so will adventures i acquire outside of quests, for example bought in gem shop, still be playable after the euro cup event is over?
