It was explained to us that the final 5 would be in an alliance of their own, as stated on the second screenshot. I'll confirm that tomorrow, just to be certain, and edit that post as necessary. Thank you.
I hope that this time the actual event matches the announcement and the created expectations.
I think i'm going to be dissapointed...
Because when i Read the announcement and viewed the artwork: my initial expectation is that the map on which the event takes places is a jungle and the entangling jungle plants are shifting and growing.
On 2nd thought i am already dissapointed :P because my expected best case expectation is that it looks like storm: with a green background and some jungle plants... God i hope its not just the green map (like Outer realms) where the customisations are:
And the influence part sounds like the first halloween event that had a few other names already. Its still the same old boring crap that you cant win. Attacking a player with 20k def with 1 strike.
Fancy stories (in a couple of langueges), lots of blabla in the announcement, some art works, teasers will not make me thrilled at all. Fire the person that is writting this crap and hire somebody that can fix things and add the stuff that we realy want.
I wish I could give you more answers but we just don't have a lot of info. This was shared on media and wanted to make sure you each got a chance to see it. There is a good bit of information about the event.

I can confirm the last minute change that the final five players will in fact be able to join a fourth small alliance.

The event takes place on a Jungle map. The plants 'move' in that they will swallow up Oberservation Towers and City States as the event progresses. It won't directly affect your Castle or Alliance Capital.
Actually quite a lot of people including myself are pretty excited for this. Fine if you d rather only do barons every day, but dont say nobody wants this.
And from what it looks like influence is more like aquamarine then the halloween event souls, only without the need to build those thingies for points

The video is very clear and provides all basic information.
it has flavours from Outer Realm, Berimond, Storm, and other Short Events which rewards Look items.
an attempt to promote PvP which is almost dead. Good initiative I must say,
I see the following issues in the Event:-
Too many Alliances in One Event
Players will carry grudges from the Event to Main Realm
drift from shillings based rewards to new token "Influences" we already have shillings, Sharads, Rubies, Coins, Glory, Honor, Relics built and Relic upgrade tokens, Khan chest, Nomad Tablets, and so on.
if this Event plans to replace Outer Realm, Berimond and Storm, then it is debatable where players will have their own views, but if is not then one of the Glory event could be replaced and the "influences" can be Glory.
Suggestion:-
Players from each Regional Servers can join this Event with formation of maximum 5 Alliances per Regional Server, with the configuration as explained in the video.
Players can join with a predefined Medieval character names.
The Castle to be fully developed but not populated with building, players can have choices to build a fully developed buildings of their choice. Upgrading of castle and buildings takes time and fun part of the Event gets spoiled.
Rest open for my fellow players to add or comment
We post our feedbacks, observations, opinions and suggestions to help make the game better!
We express our anger and frustrations not that we hate the game, but because we still love the game!
We are sticking around for the past 7+ years in this game itself is the proof that we love this game!
So atleast give 50% of what we request for and suggest to implement, you will see this game will reach new heights of success!
The alliance naming is the video, "Alliance_server#2" etc, implies the second 20 players to join are on a different server, competing against other second alliances.
Otherwise it should be called "Alliance#2_server". Have I got this wrong?
Like Outer Realms your castle starts at level 11. This means this new event is definitely a pay to win event. You have to spend quite some money in order to win .... ???
Also, you have to divide your time between main castle and this event thing. Switching between Outer Realm and main castle was slow and cumbersome.
I guess this will run back-to-back with Outer Realms.

All alliances will be on one server from what I understand. Each alliance also functions as an independent alliance.
Sigh. It feels like I need to quit my jobs and start studying GG full time.
At first glance it sounds insanely complicated with a touch of fun and most likely a big price tag.
It also sounds like we're adding more events simultaneously. Playing a game should not be a full time job. I'm not saying the event sounds bad. Not at all. But please kill something else.
Christmas isn't far away. Last year we were drowned in simultaneously running events when we should maybe remember that we have spouses, kids etc.
Please consider how complicated things have become.
Please consider we're heading for total event overload again.
Please consider that if the new event is pay to win/achieve like outers it will die just as quickly.
Please consider removing other events that have become dated (e.g. storm) and simplify troops and tools.
yes. and there's nearly 9,000 alliances in the PC version of the event. So around 85% of people who enter get no prize at all. nothing. no deco, no materials, no build item. nada. If the vast majority of players get nothing for their main account at all, why waste time in this new event and neglecting your main account?

I guess more details will be shared later on.
... contradict each other.
Knowing grass, I can appreciate persistence.
Lol, they definitely do, don't they?

First impression: awesome.

On 2nd thought i am already dissapointed :P because my expected best case expectation is that it looks like storm: with a green background and some jungle plants... God i hope its not just the green map (like Outer realms) where the customisations are:
Look item for:
Trading metropolis
Monument
Kings tower
BUT!
still excited to try this new event!
I like the team (Alliance) part, and that this team is based on your own server's Alliance.
Will each player in an alliance get the same reward or are rewards individual ?
@Black Rose
based on the current info, this looks good:)
a few questions come to mind....
Is this event server specific (for example only GB1) or is it like outer realms (the whole world on 1 server)?
What happens to rubies, troops, tools, decorations etc when event ends?
Can you transfer anything from main, if so what?
How will notifications work, will we get an alert if we are playing on main account or not logged in?
I'm sure that we will get more info later (as @WillyWiz (NL1) said) but you know us players, impatient bunch;)
When will it begin? :O
Maybe better to list my questions as well:
1. What will be the duration of the event?
2. What will be the reward(s)?
3. Does each player has a main castle, or is it a pure alliance effort?
4. What will be the recurring period of this event?
5. I recognise several elements from other events, will this event replace existing (or maybe all) events in the future?.
6. Did I forgot something?
Is this replacing outers?

The event takes place on a Jungle map. The plants 'move' in that they will swallow up Oberservation Towers and City States as the event progresses. It won't directly affect your Castle or Alliance Capital.
Glad to hear it. I hope you find it as exciting as we did while testing it.
No, it will run concurrently.
The entire Alliance gets the rewards.
It is the whole world on one server.
I'll just go get my coat then, thanks everyone!
Nothing, and nothing can be transfered the other way at the end of the event.
We will announce that just before the event start.
Your lunchbox is still on the counter
It is very much a combined effort of the alliance but each of you will start with a level 11 castle.

Anything new is a good thing. Let's just hope it's not a complete mess like shapeshifters and outer realms.

BWM @ E4K IN
PC launched this morning. Do we know when mobile will start? Or are we waiting a couple days for them to work out the bugs?
Otherwise it should be called "Alliance#2_server". Have I got this wrong?

Sounds like a load of rubbish. 10% will spend big and win. Majority wont so will be like outer realms which is dead bar top 10%.
Forget the events. Forget storage and food prod items. Get the game back to proper pvp

Make the game playable again.
Oh and please realise we had zero in game communication. Unless you troll forums you know nothing.
No point entering for most of us then.
The top 1000 alliances.
That's 20.000 players.
If the vast majority of players get nothing for their main account at all, why waste time in this new event and neglecting your main account?
Yeah those numbers seem right: for the Pc version.
I have no Idea what the global userbase is for gge4k. So i have no Idea whether rewarding the top 1000 alliances on the gge4k event is to low/high.
