Sparta proti Hádovi
Během této události se mrtví začali v Hádově říši temnoty seskupovat. Pohřbeni mimo město, teď opět povstanou. Chlad a smrt se pokoušely prosekat si Hádovým jménem cestu skrz naše řady. Nyní své mrtvé Hádes vysílá jedním z vlastních portálů, aby ničili a vnášeli chaos. Rozhodli jste se proto povolat Lysandera Spartského a spolu s ním i mocné spartské válečníky, kteří vás budou následovat. Nyní je už jen a jen na vás zahnat tyto zlovolné stvůry a uzavřít tento hrůzný portál, který pro ně Hádes otevřel.
Mapa kampaně
Plán útoku na nemrtvé je vyznačen na mapě, na které můžete spatřit i všechna možná bojiště. Každé bojiště je znázorněno symbolem, který se odvíjí od jeho stavu:
| Symbol | Význam |
|---|---|
|
Vaši spartští válečníci mohou toto bitevní pole napadnout. |
|
Dané bojiště bylo napadeno nedávno a nějaký čas musí uplynout, než sem dorazí další nepřátelé. |
|
Dosud jste nepokročili dostatečně na to, abyste zde mohli bojovat. Musíte se nejprve probojovat předchozími bojišti. |
|
Na tomto bitevním poli stále čeká odměna na své vyzvednutí. Dokud si ji neuzmete, nebudete zde moci znovu bojovat. |
Čas od času vám bude dána možnost rozhodnout se mezi dvěma cestami. Je na vás, o jaké odměny se rozhodnete usilovat! Nic vám ale ani nebrání v tom vyčistit všechna bojiště!
Bitva proti Hádovým vojskům
Okno útoku se otevře pouze tehdy, kdy si zvolíte to bitevní pole, na kterém lze i bojovat. Nepřátelé, kteří jsou zde rozmístěni, budou zobrazeni dole, a to společně se svými počty a fialovou uniformou. V horní části okna si pak můžete vybrat mezi svými spartskými válečníky. Ti jsou oděni červeně.
Mějte prosím na paměti, že každé bojiště má své omezení v tom, kolik jednotek na něj můžete vyhranit. Pokud je pod vaším velením více vojáků, než kolik jich dané bitevní pole umožňuje nasadit, budete muset udělat taktické rozhodnutí jaký typ jednotky do boje poslat a kolik jich poslat. Každá jednotka má proti jiným určitým typům své přednosti a slabiny.
Příklad:
Spartský šermíř uděluje Hádovým jezdcům o 50% více poškození. Pokud je bojiště obsazeno 50 těmito jezdci a vy máte 70 spartských šermířů připravených se zapojit, je dobrý nápad jich vybrat 50, neboť útočný bonus se pro nadbytečné šermíře nezapočítává. Předpokládejme, že dané bitevní pole vás omezuje na vyslání max. 80 vojáků. Zbývajících 30 míst (50 jich je zabráno šermíři) tedy můžete obsadit dle vlastní chuti. Nebylo by ale příliš moudré posílat spartské lučištníky, jelikož těm by Hádovi jezdci udělili poškození navíc!
Jak si tedy můžete všimnout, je zapotřebí špetka strategického myšlení.

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 Hades 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.
Spartan Captain
When you attack a battleground, you can choose the Spartan Captain to support your attack. It will lift the moral of your warriors, making them more effective and raising their combat power by 20%. After supporting you the captain is unavailable for some time. But by spending gold you can bring him immediately back to the battlefield.
The Spartan warriors
Although you already start your path of conquest with a handful of loyal warriors, 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 warriors 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. (Spartan Swordsmen, Spartan Archers, Spartan Slingers, Spartan Riders, Spartan Hoplites). Keep in mind that you can find a maximum of 10 groups of soldiers per day.
Of course you can also buy 100 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.
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 8PM the ranking gets evaluated and reset. The rewards are handed out as soon as the evaluation is finished.

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 strengths and very special, unique awards.
