Hey Sonatians,
Read more about the Emperor’s contest in our previous blog post.
Let’s talk about the Emperor system! While claiming the throne is undoubtedly the focal point of the competition, we want to talk about the rewards that are now available to teams who manage to secure a spot in the top 10 Influence earning teams.
For a team to be considered eligible for rewards, they have to reach 100,000 influence. This threshold acts as a filter to ensure that teams that have seriously participated in the contest stand a chance at receiving rewards.
The rewards are in the form of Imperial Chests. There are now 250 distributed amongst the top 10 teams. The amount they will receive is based on their proportion of the total influence gained by the top 10 teams, rounding down. Influence earned by teams outside of these requirements are not considered.
Once the contest is over, and an Emperor is crowned, the directors or councilors of the winning teams, can claim the rewards for their team when they log in by interacting with a floating dialogue box on their client. This reward can be deferred, if they don’t want to immediately claim it, and the prompt will appear again on the next login. This must be done before the universe reset, or the rewards will be lost. The team will have a login message reminding them that they can claim these rewards.
The Emperor team will still get the three Augmenter Reset Modules and three Ship Dry Dock Modules that they got previously via the Imperial Splendid Trove but the seals will be granted separately now. The Emperor winning team will still claim their rewards by docking in the palace in Anatolia, however the number of seals they get will follow the same rules as all other teams. Proportionally based on what percent of the total influence they obtained. Due to how the math is, they are guaranteed to get the highest number of seals of any team competing.
Other notables:
- Getting Emperor now grants Leadership 3 regardless of the Director’s Leadership level.
- Polemarchos’ spawn time increased by 6%. This should allow it to more clearly change time zones with its spawns.
- Ai in Anatolia will now respawn when not engaged. This should prevent them from getting all stuck in one galaxy.
