Castle Empire Event Brainstorm

[Seraphic]

Ok so an Event that; promotes guilds, building up friends, in-game activity, and forum community.

A Tall Order to find something that covers all aspects rolled into one.

But before I put some ideas out there, please note that I've only been playing three days total, so please "anyone" feel free to correct any oversights I might of made; not knowing how later gameplay or guilds work.

Now I appreciate my suggestion for an event might not be feasible, or not be the sort of thing you’re looking for as it couldn't be put into place immediately. It would take some time, since there would be an amount of development (maps/prizes) and organisation.


The Event of No Name Decided Yet

• Open to all players who have completed the tutorial and reached lvl 17 and above.
• Promoted via homepage, newsletter, in game announcement, forums.

Four or five Special Event Adventure Maps are offered, "only" via the forums from Community Managers etc., hence boosting forum usage.

They would be under 4 or 5 level categories. These would all be 4 player maps; within the defined level ranges.

Rough estimation:

• 17+ <insert map details>
• 26+ <insert map details>
• 32+ <insert map details>
• 36+ <insert map details>
• 42+ <insert map details>

Only 1 map given per player (based on level range); while the event lasts, to prevent stock hoarding or unfair advantages to lower lvl players.

Once players recieve said maps; they will need to find 3 other players to complete it with either via the forums or in-game via chat/whispers.


People may choose to complete the Special Event Adventure with whom ever they wish, and be rewarded like normal adventures as per: German CEO Wiki

However players completing the Special Event Adventure Map with 3 other players from Guilds other than their own, or unguilded players, (nice way for people to meet each other and see what Guilds are out and vice versa for Guilds looking for members) they could then post to the forums with who they've played with (checks would be done via in-house-tools); they would then recieve some additional rewards, based on the Special Event Adventure Map completed by their Team.

i.e. Ideas only; understand some of these might be to much as extras based on my limited knowledge of the game so far.

Noble Resident Deed
Guild House Deed (only if unguilded)
Building Licences
Buff Food for Guilds
Buff Food Single Players
Jolly Geologist
Savage Scout
Battle Hardened General
Counterfeit Membership (only if guilded)
Guild Member Certificate (only if guilded)

Or instead a choice of reward packs like A,B,C giving the player some choice depending on their situation and playstyle.

As an additional bonus to those players completing their map with 3 other players, from Guilds other than their own, or unguilded players.
They would be entered into a prize draw as a single group. The winners once notified would then each receive a special gift.

The prize draw should be like any of its type 1st (1 prize),2nd (1 prize),3rd (1 prize),4th (100 prizes), 5th (500 prizes).

Now the Team Winners Top Prize Draw Gifts for at least 1st, 2nd, 3rd should be something unique; whether that be cosmetic or useful such as The Witches Tower as an example only; but tailored to the Special Event Adventure Map they all completed.


As I said at the beginning of my post I don't know how feasible this would be to put into play but; I think you would have to agree it does cover all the aspects you’re looking for, even if some of it may be a dream waiting to come true.


If you wish any further details please let me know.

Event Name: Guild Wars!

Being we are still not PVP, lets have some fun for players of all categories..

Guild Armageddon

Guilds fight bandits, winning guild is guild who defeats most number of bandit camps in 1 week. Bandits from adventures and islands all count (including leaders also of course)

Guild Kamizkaze

Guild who kills the most units in a week wins! BUt has to be THEIR units!

Example might be

Recruit - 1 point
Bowman - 2 Points
Militia - 3 points
etc etc

most points wins! This way encourages guild to battle more!

Guild Construction Wars

Guild who has most new buildings in a week

Guild Resource Wars

Guild who generates the most resources in a week

Guild Buffer

Guild who buffs others in their own guild the most. Self buffs do not count.

Guild Level increase.

Guild who increases the most level of levels in one week, all members..encourages guilds to get some lower level members and help them level up

And my favorite

Guild lowprofile race

Give the most resources to lowprofile wins

;-)

To be honest, I am all tapped out on contest ideas. I can say this much. I am tired of the subjective contests and the random number contests. Let's get a leader board established so that there is something to compete with.
The only contest I could suggest that may be guild oriented is some kind of treasure hunt.
If it turns out to be a creative contest of some sort, I think I am sitting this one out.

Leaderboard would be awesome!

Weekly island beauty contest. Put a screen shot on a new thread every week. Have a poll the next week and the community votes on. Can win over and over if that's what the community thinks is best but that's unlikely =) Top 3 get like 50 gems or something little like that.

I started a game to get people/forum dwellers involved, joke around, have fun and get to know each other involving posting youtube music videos......

When PVP starts this would not be such a good idea if they allow you to attack other islands....it all depends on what happens

PvP will not involve your home island. Sooo....

Guild Scavenger Hunt Event

Guilds would field members for a team to represent the guild.

To be fair to the smaller guilds, and non-guilded members, there could be a similar event using teams containing unaffiliated players and members from multiple guilds. (Like a Katealyst team and a MrGrimm team)

The players would be classed by levels.

There would be a random drawing to decide what resource in what amount was needed to complete that round of the hunt.
(Higher levels may need to find cannons or crossbows, etc.)(Next lower level, granite, exotic wood, perhaps certain adventures)
(Lower level players on the team may just need to produce a random resources such as horses or hardwood)
(The lowest level members would need to find basic resources)

The items each level need to provide to complete their section of the Scavenger Hunt would be level appropriate but could be found by explorers or produced by players.

There could be a set time for teams to deliver the required items.

A twist on it could be putting it into a single elimination tournament format that carries over from week to week.

Another twist could be that the items each level of the teams must produce could be given in the form of a riddle. Thus players would have to solve the riddle to know what the correct item is.

The idea is to make the event challenging.

The idea is to make the event challenging and ongoing through weekly rounds with prizes culminating it a grand finale with some awesome 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place prizes.

You could even add a decorative trophy item that Grand Prize winners could place on their islands.
