Winter Conquest

The Winter Conquest event was the featured event for Dragon Cave's 2021 Holiday celebration, alongside the returning Advent Calendar. The event opened on December 25, 2021, and continued for 14 days. Users were randomly assigned teams – Team Pharos, Team Umbra, or Team Mageia – upon entering the event. The event featured four mini-games which users could play to earn points for their team. Daily point totals awarded medals to the teams based on standing.
== Winter Conquest instructions ==
Running a large-scale winter-based military operation is a lot of work—even if it’s just a friendly snow fight between friends. Sourcing ammunition for cannons, trebuchets, and attack helicopters is tiring, getting those snowballs where they need to go on time takes skill, and—naturally—keeping everyone’s morale up is critical to success.
Engage in this year’s three new mini-games as well as Snow Wars 2 itself to help push your team to victory!
== Mini-games ==
Four mini-games could be played to earn team points, which contributed to daily standings. These mini-games were Delivery Race, Cocoa Rush, Snowball Shuffle, and Snow Wars 2. Teams were ranked by their scores in each mini-game.
=== Delivery Race ===
The Delivery Race mini-game was a SkiFree-like game. The player would attempt to navigate down the mountainside as quickly as possible to maximize their score. Collisions with trees and rocks brought the player to a stop, costing them time. Conversely, sledding over ice patches gave the player a speed boost.
==== Delivery Race instructions ====
Press space to start. Use the arrow keys to maneuver around obstacles. Make it down the slope to deliver fresh ammo as fast as you can!
=== Cocoa Rush ===
The Cocoa Rush mini-game was a Tapper-like game. The player would serve cocoa to incoming guests as quickly as possible, without accidentally spilling a mug.
==== Cocoa Rush instructions ====
Cheer up the tired people with warm hot chocolate! Press space to start. Use the arrow keys to move up and down, and press space to fill a mug and slide it down the row. Don’t let anyone make it to the right of the screen without being served, and don’t drop any mugs!
=== Snowball Shuffle ===
The Snowball Shuffle mini-game was a 2048-like game. Using the arrow keys, players could slide snowballs across the game board. When two snowballs of with the same number collided, they combined, increasing their number. This could continue as long as there was space on the board for new snowballs to appear. Once all tiles are filled, and no possible moves could be made, the game ended.
==== Snowball Shuffle instructions ====
Use the arrow keys to slide the tiles around. Combine two snowballs of the same size to create an even bigger snowball. Keep going as long as you can!
=== Snow Wars 2 ===
See main article: Snow Wars 2.
The Snow Wars 2 mini-game returned as part of the 2021 event. Players could collect resources which were used to decorate their snow fort, and outfit it with weapons and defenses. As part of the 2021 event, participating in Snow Wars 2 contributes to a player's team scores for the Winter Conquest.
As part of the mini-game's inclusion in the Winter Conquest event, new Conquest-themed decorative items were added.
