This fast-paced event world brings back the beloved Mayhem balancing<\/strong> for troop training, healing, and movement \u2014 but this time, there\u2019s an even bigger twist: Champions<\/a><\/strong> are joining the fray!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first time, the mighty heroes from our recent Champion worlds will march into a Mayhem battlefield. And to keep things balanced and fair, they come with carefully rebalanced stats and progression<\/strong> to ensure no hero overshadows the chaos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winter Mayhem Details<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • World:<\/strong> MAYHEMx3 (COM)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Speed:<\/strong> 3x<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Start:<\/strong> Coming soon for all COM players<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Rebalanced Champions Arrive<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

    Champions bring powerful bonuses to your villages \u2014 from faster troop training to more efficient healing and crop production. For Winter Mayhem, their overall balance has been fine-tuned<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    • Some Champions start with slightly lower values than before.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    • All Champions now gain only half the strength per Tablet<\/strong> compared to the past test rounds \u2014 restoring their original, intended growth pace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

      This adjustment ensures that every player, new or veteran, can enjoy a more strategic and balanced experience<\/strong> on the battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Classic Mayhem Balance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

      The signature Mayhem tuning returns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      • Faster troop training<\/strong> and healing times<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Adjusted movement speeds<\/strong> for larger, more dynamic battles<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      • Streamlined gameplay that keeps the action intense from day one<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

        Fairer Fights for Treasures<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

        (updated on 27.11.2025)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        In order to provide a fair experience for all players<\/strong>, we\u2019ve introduced new Treasure rules that make it harder to move Treasures freely between kingdoms. You\u2019ll still be able to raid and conquer \u2014 but now you\u2019ll need to earn it against opponents your own size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        Treasure stealing based on Victory Points<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

        When you raid a kingdom with significantly fewer Victory Points<\/strong>, you\u2019ll gain less \u2014 or nothing at all:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        • If their kingdom holds less than half your Victory Points<\/strong>, you can\u2019t steal any Treasures from them.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • If their kingdom has more than half but less than your total Victory Points<\/strong>, you\u2019ll only steal up to 80 %<\/strong> of what you normally would.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        • From equal or stronger kingdoms<\/strong>, you\u2019ll receive the full Treasure reward.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

          As before, you can never steal more than one third<\/strong> of a treasury in a single attack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          These rules make Treasure raids fairer and reduce coordinated Treasure transfers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          Victory Point loss when Treasures are stolen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

          A defending kingdom will lose Victory Points<\/strong> when Treasures are successfully stolen from its treasury.
          If no Treasures are stolen, no Victory Points are lost<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            \n
          • Rank 1 Kingdom:<\/strong> 25 Victory Points per Treasure<\/li>\n\n\n\n
          • All other kingdoms:<\/strong> 10 Victory Points per Treasure<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

            Removed (but not stolen) Victory Points are shown with a strikethrough<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

            Tribute fund and kingdom changes<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

            To prevent Treasure exploits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              \n
            • When a player joins<\/strong> or leaves<\/strong> a kingdom or receives protection<\/strong>, their Tribute fund including Treasures resets to zero<\/strong>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Players without<\/strong> Kingdom cannot have their tribute treasures stolen, nor can they steal treasures<\/li>\n\n\n\n
            • Menhir relocations<\/strong> are not affected.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

              Foreign governors and Treasures<\/strong>
              Treasures from foreign governors are no longer shown or collectible through Tribute collection, but they still exist<\/strong> and can be raided<\/strong> under the same rules.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              These thresholds encourage battles between evenly matched rivals and make Treasure raids more meaningful \u2014 reducing the impact of coordinated Treasure transfers and strengthening fair competition across the Mayhem battlefield<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Exclusive Winter Cosmetic: The Ice Crown<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

              Celebrate your icy victories in style with the Winter Bundle<\/strong>, featuring the brand-new Ice Crown<\/strong> cosmetic \u2014 perfect for any ruler of the frozen battlefield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              Champions at a Glance<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

              Eight Champions are available to deploy \u2014 each with their own strengths and history:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                \n
              • Caesar:<\/strong> Faster Infantry training<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Cleopatra:<\/strong> Boosted Crop production<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Vercingetorix:<\/strong> Troop Evasion ability<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • Edithe:<\/strong> Lower Infantry Crop consumption<\/li>\n\n\n\n
              • and many more<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

                Each Champion can turn an ordinary village into a stronghold \u2014 how you deploy them will define your path to victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
