New event! Battle of Nations!

The Flayer’s wolves, restrained by a guard, pulled tight on their leashes as a messenger on horseback approached along a path through the trees. “My lord, I have word from the generals!” the messenger said, removing three scrolls from his satchel. “They have given their assurances that their armies are ready to strike at your command.”
Rhukan wiped the blood on his hands onto a guard’s lapel. “The boy Eric should never have come back...” he said, taking the scrolls from the messenger. “He was a coward to flee as a child, and he’s a fool to return now. I will deal with him as I dealt with his father.”
What is the BATTLE OF NATIONS?
Only in June! Battle of Nations is an additional event to the Festival of the Lotus King where you should brawl with Foreign invaders, Bloodcrows, Samurais and Nomads to win even more rewards! But remember to fight shoulder to shoulder with the lords and ladies from your server in order to get better prizes.
After one of the Invasion events ends you will get an additional reward for the Battle of Nations considering the placement of your server in the invasion ranking.
The placement of your server in the invasions ranking will be calculated as an average of the points collected by the most active half of the players of your server, that will then be compared with the other servers. This calculation was defined as proved to be the most balanced one considering servers of many different size and avoiding an unfair challenge.
In short: Your server will compete with all the other servers! So, fight side by side with your server mates to prevail and be on top of the Empire universe!
There will be three types of rewards you can get competing with other servers: bronze, silver and gold.
Each server will get at least the bronze prize.
If your server was strong enough to reach the predefined milestone, each player of this server will get silver rewards.
If your server finishes one of the Invasions among the 3 best performing ones, each player of your server will get a gold prize.
You can win one of the rewards above after every Invasion. Note: If the event ends during a weekend we won’t be able to send the rewards on the same day and all rewards will be granted on the closest Monday in this case.
We will share all possible rewards and silver milestone on our forum as soon as the event starts.
You will be able to find the ranking of top servers on the forum the day after every invasion ends.
At the end of the whole Battle of Nations, every participant will get a unique decoration (200 PO) with the initials of the winner.
The winning server deserves an even better decoration with 300 PO also showing initials of this server.
Why do we have to fight at all?
It is very simple, your king needs you! As you already know, King Eric the Artisan came back to claim his rightful throne but not everyone in the empire is happy about it, especially not our untouchable emperor! Before the BATTLE OF NATIONS could start we gathered secret information about a conspiracy against our king, you can read this for yourself on our Facebook page.
I want more background info!
Alright, here you go. But after that, grab your sword and fight the BATTLE OF NATIONS, you bookworm!

As an example, while you can earn 100k glory points in one attack against Foreign or Bloodcrows castles, you will still only 6 points in the long term point event and a similar behavior has to be considered for Nomads and Samurai
