Editing Last Battle

When the Last [[Seal]] breaks, all hordes currently targeting cities stop. If they were still alive, the horde is considered as having attacked and the effects off this attack are applied before the Last Battle begins. No time for distractions. No more normal [[hordes]] will appear. No clan battles can be setup once the Last Seal breaks. Any battles in progress will be allowed to finish.

The Last Battle has begun.

==Brief Description==

The Last battle will consist of 4 parts. The first part is the battle between Light and Shadow. This will start when the last seal breaks, and will run for 7 days. This part will act like a [[clan battle]], but world wide. Each player will be assigned a side based on their [[alignment]], and will then be able to do whatever they can to help their side win. 

While this goes on however, there will also be 3 phases of Megahordes. Defeating these hordes will help the Light, but failure to defeat them will result in the total destruction of the city it targeted and will therefore help the Shadow. 


==Phase 1==

''(Begins when the last seal breaks.)'' 

Immediately, two cities are destroyed. All bonuses, [[businesses]], shop items, etc are gone. They can still be traveled to, but nothing can be done there. These cities will be:

:*City with lowest population (based on upgrades and people in the city). Ties broken by order.
:*City with lowest order


In addition to this, 6 Megahordes will appear targeting 6 of the world's remaining [[cities]] from 6 different [[Wilderness Areas]]. These cities will be:

:*City with highest order '''(Trollocs)'''
:*City with lowest order ruled by the clan with highest Alignment that rules a city '''(Myrddraal)'''
:*City with lowest order of remaining cities '''(Darkhounds)'''
:*City with second lowest order of remaining cities '''(Draghkar)'''
:*Two more random cities '''(Random)'''

These Megahordes have double the health of regular hordes, but only cost 2 turns to battle instead of 3.

Players have 30 hours to defeat the hordes if able. Those supporting the Shadow should target these cities defenses. If city defenses are completely destroyed, hordes remaining health doubles (sooner the defenses fall, the more health bonus the horde gets).

At the end of the 30 hours, if any horde remains, the city it was targeting is completely destroyed. All [[Estates]] in the wilderness that the horde attacked from are also destroyed. [[#Hordes Armies and Cities|Points]] will then be awarded to both sides for armies/hordes defeated, and cities destroyed. A list of these [[#Hordes Armies and Cities|Points]] can be found below.


There will be a 24 hour period to regroup or duel before phase 2 begins.



==Phase 2==

''(54 hours after the Last Seal breaks):''

Any city that managed to hold off the horde will be attacked again by a horde from the same wilderness (they managed to survive the first wave and kept the horde busy, but they aren't done yet). All hordes in the second wave are of a random type. The size of this horde will be (2-(number of times defended in the Last Battle/2)). So in this case, it will only be 1.5 times the normal horde size.

If any hordes were successful in destroying a City, all other cities connected to that wilderness not already fighting a horde get attacked by new hordes from different wilderness areas. So if for example Rhuidean was attacked and destroyed in Phase 1 from the Spine of the World, 3 new hordes would appear targeting Shol Arbela, Fal Dara, and Stedding Shangtai from other wilderness areas attached to those cities. These new hordes will be at full Megahorde strength. 

If there are less the 8 hordes present, new hordes appear attacking cities with the lowest remaining order not being attacked until there are at least 8.

Players have 30 hours to defeat the hordes. Same consequences for failing to defeat the horde from Phase 1. 

After the 30 hours are up, [[#Hordes Armies and Cities|Points]] will be awarded to both sides and there will be another 24 hour regroup period before Phase 3.



==Phase 3==
 
''(108 hours after the Last Seal breaks):''

One more wave of hordes. Behave the same way as Phase 2. Surviving cities are attacked again, though the health of the horde will only be 1 to 1.5 times the normal horde health. Cities around a wilderness that had a successful Horde attack are attacked. If there are less the 10 hordes present now, new hordes appear attacking cities with the lowest remaining order not being attacked until there are at least 10 (assuming there are 10 cities left at this point...

Players again have 30 hours to defeat the hordes. Same consequences for failing to defeat the horde from Phase 1 & 2 (city destroyed). If there are no cities remaining, the Age is over and the Shadow has won. If any city remains, [[#Hordes Armies and Cities|Points]] will be awarded and the regular battle will continue for the final 30 hours.


==Main Battle==

''(Begins after the Last Seal breaks and runs for the whole 7 days):''

This is a world wide battle modeled after the [[clan battle]] system. There are only 2 sides: Light and Shadow. The battle will be set up immediately after the last seal breaks. Every non-destroyed city will have a link to the battle stats.

Players will be assigned to a side based on their alignment. Light and Lean Light players will be on the Light side and will be marked with a green flag by their name. Shadow and Lean Shadow on the Shadow side and marked with a red flag by their name. Players who are still Neutral will be split with those with a positive alignment counting towards the Light and those with negative (or exactly 0) will count toward the Shadow. If your alignment changes during the battle, so could which side you count towards. 


==Points==

Points can be earned in several ways.


===Starting Points===

There are a possible 20,000 points available for players and clans to earn before the battle starts. These will be awarded right at the start of the battle. 

:*+500 to the Light for each city ruled by a Light or Lean Light clan when the last Seal breaks.
:*+500 to the Shadow for each city ruled by a Shadow or Lean Shadow clan when the last Seal breaks.
:*+1000 to the side that has the most members that are Lean or better (+300 or more for Light, -300 or less for Shadow)
:*+1000 to the side that has the highest level player
:*+1000 to the side that has the player with the most Ji
:*+1000 to the side that has the player with the most Achievements
:*+1000 to the side that has the player with the most Wins
:*+1000 to the side that has the player with the highest net worth
:*+1000 to the side that has the player with the most quests completed
:*+1000 to the side that has the clan with the highest Ji (If highest is neutral, no points to either side)

''Note: If a city is ruled by a neutral clan when the last seal breaks, points will not be awarded to either side for that city.



===Hordes Armies and Cities===

Since battles against Hordes do not count towards the Last Battle or clan battles, there will be points awarded to the Light for defeating the hordes, and points earned for the Shadow by defeating armies and destroying cities. Points will be added at the end of each phase.

:*+2500 to the Light for each Horde defeated
:*+1750 to the Shadow for each Army defeated
:*+1750 to the Shadow for each Horde that destroys a city

===Duels===
''(both offensive and defensive duels unless otherwise stated):''

    +6 points if dueling in any non-destoryed City. +2 points if dueling in any destroyed city. Normal points for battling in any wilderness (no hiding in this one)
    +3 points for winning the battle and -3 points for losing the battle.
    +/- 1 point for every 2 levels different between you and your opponent rounded up, with a maximum of +5 points (dueling someone 10 or more levels above you) and a minimum of -8 points (someone 15 or more levels below you).
    +1 point for every 10% of your opponent's total health you take by the end of the battle, rounded to the nearest 10%.
    Offensive duels only: +4 points for attacking a 'pure' member of the other side (Light opponent if you're on the Shadow side; Shadow opponent if you're on the Light Side)
    Offensive duels only: +2 points for attacking a 'lean' member of the other side (Lean Light opponent if you're on the Shadow side; Lean Shadow opponent if you're on the Light Side)
    No points awarded for battling on the same side (including Neutral players that are on your side).
    If you are Neutral Alignment, you only earn 50% of the points a 'pure' or 'lean' player on your side would earn (so all the points from the above divided by 2, rounded to the nearest point).
    Offensive duels only: Penalty for attacking players low level than you: -25% of your points for someone 5-9 levels below you, -50% of your points for someone 10-14 levels below you, and -75% of your points for attacking someone 15 or more levels below you.



===NPC battles===

    +/- 1 point for every 2 levels different between you and your opponent.
    +1 points for winning the battle and -1 points for losing the battle.
    +0.5 point for every 10% of your opponent's total health you take by the end of the battle, rounded to the nearest 10%, then rounded to the nearest point (so if you only do 5% damage, you still get 1 point).
    -0.5 point for every 20% of your total health taken by the end of the battle, rounded to the nearest 20%, then rounded to the nearest point (so if you only take 10% damage, you still lose 1 point).
    If you are Neutral Alignment, you only earn 50% of the points a 'pure' or 'lean' player on your side would earn (so all the points from the above divided by 2, rounded to the nearest point).





Unlike a Clan Battle's 24 hour time limit, the Last Battle will last for 30 hours. This means the Last Battle will end exactly 8 days after it started.

End of the Age
Once the Battle is over, the winning side wins for the Age. A message will be displayed on the Heroes page stating whether the Age was won by either the Light or the Shadow. The Heroes page will no longer be updated afterwards, so whoever held the titles at the end of the version will remain with them regardless of what happens afterwards. Net worth titles will also no longer be updated.

Players will still be able to play with their characters (explore wilderness areas, do quests level up, run remaining businesses and estates, etc) and clans can work to take over the remaining cities (buy upgrades, start tourneys, have clan battles, etc), but other than that, the version is done until a new age starts. No more hordes or battling for spots on the Heroes page.

Enjoy!
