[BB_Sious]

The upcoming Easter 2024 Event: New buildings, skins, and more!

Dear Settlers,

It's time for crazy rabbids to go hippity-hop across your island, time to open stripy egg loots with a touch of hope while cleansing the island from the Party Crashers' unfortunate influence... yes, it's Easter Event time and we're sure you've been looking forward to welcoming it to your home island!
The already-known content will be made available again, along with brand-new features: new buildings, upgrade levels, and bundles!

New aspects & changes are highlighted in blue color.

Stripy Easter Eggs are the Easter Event currency.

During the Event, all players have the chance to gather Stripy Eggs.
Stripy Eggs can be traded. There are several ways to get them:

• Explorers:
  The explorers sent out during the Event will be able to find Stripy Eggs on all regular treasure searches.
  

• Event Quest Chain:
  Every 5 days, you will get one Easter Quest Chain (with several sub-quests), that will offer Stripy Eggs as a reward.

• Quests & Easter adventures:
  The Event Quest Chains will offer quests for 2 adventures in which hidden Easter Eggs have to be found. There are 8 adventures in total, with a maximum of 9 hidden eggs in each.

• Guild Quest:
  Every day during the event, guilds will get one random guild quest from a total of five.
  Completing this quest at an individual level will grant a small amount of Stripy Eggs.
  The more guild members that complete their individual quest, the bigger the grand guild reward is at the end of the day.
  
  
• Adventures:
  Almost all Missions and Scenarios will reward Stripy Eggs.
  
  
• Expeditions:
  All Expeditions will provide Stripy Eggs as loot.
  There will be no islands with Stripy Eggs as colony yield.

• Collectables:
  Stripy Eggs will spawn on the home island and can be collected.

• Party Crashers:
  Every time the Party Crashers' camp is defeated, the corresponding quest will give a small number of Stripy Eggs. You can defeat the camp with your own generals or with the help of your friends, who can use special buffs to defeat them.

• Merchant:
  There will be packages with Stripy Eggs available for purchase in the in-game merchant.

• Achievements:
  Some achievements will grant Stripy Eggs as a reward.

• Event story:
  A special quest chain consisting of several mini-quests that grant Stripy Eggs as a reward.

Mr. Croix Sant's new delight is intended to give a little experience boost and variety to the event itself while providing an interesting story: Mr. Croix Sant and the Easter Bunny's assistant partnered up to bring a brand new treat to the children. Meanwhile, the Easter Bunny boss has decided to skip Easter altogether this year, which has left the new-found partnership rather worried... As you progress further in the quest, you'll find out additional details to help them get things under control.

The sub-quests composing the quest line will be split by level ranges as usual, and the requirements and rewards will be balanced accordingly.

Mr Croix Sant's ultimate treat
A buff that will be necessary to be created for the "Mr. Croix Sant" quest chain. It can be produced in either the Provision House or the Rarity Provision House. The buff cannot be traded or gifted, and it can be redeemed for its original cost once the event is completely deactivated.

A new list of adventures has been selected for this year's event Seasonal Adventures. The resources and experience rewarded upon completion of these adventures will be doubled. This applies only to resources and refillers and XP obtained, not to the buffs or buildings.

The list of seasonal adventures for Easter 2024 is:

• Buccaneer Roundup
• Raiding the Raiders
• Tomb Raiders
• Whirlwind
• Horseback
• Gunpowder
• Victor the Vicious
• Secluded Experiments
• The Heroic Little Tailor
• Aladdin And The Oil Lamp
• The Sleeping Volcano
• Tropical Sun
• Dark Priests
• Pirate Life
• Where Do Easter Eggs Come From?*
• Lakeside Treasure
• Split City in Summer
• Split City in Fall
• The Black Knights
• Roaring Bull
• Surprise Attack
• Ali Baba and the Young Woodcutter
• El Chupacabra
• Unknown Regions
• People of the Mountains
• The End of The World
• Bonaberti Business

Ventures also contain Stripy Eggs in the Loot

*Note: The scenario "Where Do Easter Eggs Come From?" does not reward Stripy Eggs, but is affected by the Seasonal Adventure bonuses. This will be available from the shop for event currency only; a great way to spend any leftovers you have!

The Party Crashers represent the daily military objective of the Easter Event. Their camp, located on the "Event Island" in the center of the map, is connected to the main island by a bridge. This bridge, as well as the "Event Island", can only be accessed by your generals. It cannot be built upon (buildings, decorations, or roads) and collectables will not spawn on it. You can defeat the dastardly Party Crashers with your very own generals, or by asking your friends for help to bribe them off your island if your military might is predisposed.

The two ways of defeating The Party Crashers

• Take Up Arms
  If you're into military campaigns, you can simply send your generals to confront the Party Crashers with a show of force. Initiate the attack on the Party Crashers' camp located in the center of the map; your general will cross the bridge over the lake and will introduce the crashers to the pointy ends of their weapons.

• Talk It Out
  If your generals are busy with more important matters, why not go for a diplomatic victory? Ask your friends to create buffs in any of their provision houses to help you with the Party Crashers. The buffs themselves will not change any units in the camp, but it will cause the "Peace" quest to progress to the competition. It is important to note as well that this will only happen if the quest is active, so using a buff on a friend's island whose Party Crashers camp has already been destroyed, will be wasted. The production time in the Rarity Provision Houses should match the production time of a Provision House with a Level 5 upgrade. Also in both provision houses, the production cost will be identical.
  
  When using buffs on a friend's island to clear the Party Crashers' camp, a new interface will appear, allowing you to apply multiple buffs, similar to defeating a Golem for the Halloween event.
  

Once the camp is destroyed, smoking ruins will be left in its place and you will receive Stripy Eggs as a reward for the corresponding quest. However, the Party Crashers won't be gone for good; the camp will begin reconstruction for the next 23 hours and they'll be back to cause more mischief! Every passing day, the units inside the camps will become stronger, and require stronger units (or more waves). To complete this part of the event, you will have to surpass 15 encounters! Are you up to the task?...

The "Party Crashers" feature is available until the Removal phase.

This Year's Easter Event will present a Calendar in which you should open the doors daily; we've reshuffled the rewards to keep things fresh! To access the Calendar, just click on the icon next to your avatar.

We've made some minor reshuffling of this year's Calendar rewards, and some new additions!

2 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOORS

There is a total of 21 doors. You can open one door each day. Opening missed doors for gems will cost 100 gems for normal doors and 300 gems for special doors.

Don't forget to open the doors daily and also remind your friends to do so!

Type: Regular door
Amount: 17
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for 100 gems afterward
Requirement: It doesn't matter if previous doors are still closed or not
Rewards: Provides basic rewards (such as resources), sometimes chosen randomly

Type: Special door
Amount: 4
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for 300 gems afterward.
Requirement: All previous doors need to be open
Rewards: Most special doors offer a choice between several rewards when opened

[BB_Sious]

As in the previous year, there will be unique achievements related to the event, which include Stripy Eggs rewards. The achievements are connected to a certain building and depending on the points you gathered, the building will change its design. No achievement will grant 0 points and it will not be required to have 100% of achievements to reach the final level of the achievement building.


The Easter achievements deal with many aspects of the event:

• Finding eggs during Explorer searches
• Collecting eggs from adventure loot
• Completing Easter quests
• Helping friends with buffs
• Collecting eggs from your home island

A special achievement building that was first introduced with Easter Event 2015 is making an impressive comeback: The Easter Basket!
For this year, we've decided to give it yet another fresh coat of paint to make it stand out compared to previous ones you've earned in previous Easter Events; this time in a dazzling pink and white theme. Don't worry though - unlocking it remains the same as before: it works just like any other residence building, providing space for settlers, and it can only be upgraded when you reach a certain number of achievement points during the (current) event.

The image above is the original color scheme, so you can compare it with the new version below!

Finishing Easter quests or playing Easter buff adventures are only two of many ways of collecting Easter achievement points.

• Acquiring the building
  The building will be available as a quest reward from the quest chain "For my most loyal egg hiders". Once claimed, it will be available in the Star Menu and can be placed on a free spot. The Easter Basket will be available after the Easter 2024 event, independent of any achievements completed.
  

• Residence function:
  The building works like a residence building providing space for settlers.
  
  Level 1: 40 Settlers, Easter event 2024 Achievement points needed: 0
  
  
  
  
  Level 2: 50 Settlers, Easter event 2024 Achievement points needed: 50
  
  
  
  
  Level 3: 60 Settlers, Easter event 2024 Achievement points needed: 200
  
  
  
  
  Level 4: 90 Settlers, Easter event 2024 Achievement points needed: 375
  
  
  
  
  Level 5: 140 Settlers, Easter event 2024 Achievement points needed: 560
  
  
  
  
  Level 6: 180 Settlers, Easter event 2024 Achievement points needed: 800
  
  
  

• Upgrade conditions:
  To upgrade the building's level, specific Easter 2024 achievement points have to be gathered.
  Every time enough points are earned, an icon will indicate that the building can be upgraded.
  The upgrade can be done without any additional cost.

• Indestructible:
  The building is indestructible. When destroyed, it will appear in the star menu.
  It can be built again and upgraded to the original level again without additional cost.

The Spring Park

The Spring Park is a culture building that applies zone-wide buffs at the expense of resources. To use the building, you have to click a button in its UI, that will prompt a zone-wide buff on your island. Very much in line with this event's theme, the Spring Park produces spring-themed buffs: Walpurgis Night, Spring Festival, Spring Cleaning, and the Children's Easter Novels.

Owning multiples of the same building will not offer separate functionalities or cooldowns. Instead, every duplicate increases the cooldown speed by 100%. For example, a buff that will usually trigger a 1-hour cooldown will only trigger a 20-minute cooldown if you own 3 buildings (60min / 300%).

Similar to the way the Footie Pitch works, Spring Park produces zone-wide buffs with various functionalities:

Buff name	Description	Cost	Cooldown	Icon
Walpurgis Night	During this festival, witches perform rituals that will help them find ingredients for spells and potions. Zone effect: Highlights all collectables on your home island with blue arrows Duration: 5 minutes	100 Magic Beans	47h
Spring Festival	Hold a festival that celebrates the reawakening of nature and access to fresh cooking ingredients. Zone effect: +100% production speed Targets: Provision House, Rarity Provision House Duration: 8 hours	750 Brew 2,000 Bread	47h
Spring Cleaning	The whole island comes together to clean up everyone's houses and perform maintenance on machinery. Zone effect: +200% output Targets: Improved Farm, Improved Mill, Improved Bakery, Improved Silo, Improved Watermill, Improved Butcher, Improved Deerstalker Hut Duration: 6 hours	1,000 Water 1,500 Tools	47h
Children's Easter Novels	New Easter-themed children's novels are out and everyone is trying hard to create a copy for every kid as fast as possible. Zone effect: +100% output Targets: Papermill (Normal, Intermediate, Advanced), Finesmith, Lettersmith Ornamental Smith Duration: 6 hours	250 Sausages 50 Map Fragments	47h

The Wonderous Residence

This marvel of engineering is the result of the insane ingenuity of our residential Mad Scientist! Able to house an impressive amount of Settlers in such a small building footprint (2x2), the Wonderous Residence has to be one of the most efficient population buildings to date. Although it is relatively expensive to upgrade, the returns more than justify the means if you're looking to squeeze every last drop of space on your home island:


The Mad Scientist visited Sonya holding crumpled sheets of paper in his hands with detailed scribbles on them looking like a construction plan.
