Regular Events

Regular occurring events can be found in the Event Center, which is accessible through an icon in the top right corner of screen.

**Monarch Competition**

 This competition occurs every week, with the individual events occurring at random order except for the Kill Enemies Event (also known as Kill Event or KE). Certain activities need to be completed for each stage in order to earn points and the rewards assigned at different thresholds.

The first four stage events are as follows and last 24 hours each. Again, every week their order can vary:

* **City Development**
* **Power Increase**
* **Troop Training**
* **Resource Gathering**
* **Monster Killing**

 The final event, **Kill Event**, lands on the Friday of every week and lasts 72 hours. At the end of this event, the Monarch Competition starts over.

*City Development:* Increase building or research power

> Tips: Go through your low level research and buildings first and use your alliance help to get through those quickly.
>
>

*Power Increase:* Increase power through any means (building, research, monarch, troop training).

> Tips: Losing power will decrease points earned. If you earned a lot of points already and reached the point thresholds and then lost power by someone attacking you or vice versa, then you still get to keep rewards. Also, if you have wounded troops from the day before, save them to heal for this event. The increase of power from wounded troops will help you earn points. Additionally, recalling deserters and repairing siege machines on the day of event will add points that count towards this event.

*Troop Training:* Earn points by training troops

> Tips: The more troops trained, the more points earned. The higher level your troops are, the more points earned. A trained level 1 troop earns less than a trained level 6 troop.

*Resource Gathering:* Earn points by gathering resources

> Tips: Start a gather the day before that will complete right after midnight to earn more points. Gems mined earned the most amount of points over the other resources. However, depending on your gathering speed abilities for specific resources, it might earn you more points to gather ore, for example, than the gems. Research, monarch gear, and general gear all affect gathering speed. Relic exploration, while you can collect resources, and gathering from Alliance resource tile do not count towards this event.

*Monster Killing:* Earn points by killing monsters

> Tips: Due to the point structure if you can hit common monsters above level 12, it will earn you more points with same amount of stamina to hit the common monsters over the boss monsters.
>
>

*Troop Killing/Kill Event/KE:* Earn points by killing enemy troops

> Tips: Killing/wounding higher level troops will earn you more points. If you plan on participating in KE, upgrade your Holy Palace and Prison to the same level as your keep. This will help minimize losses of troops when attacking other players by gathering more deserters (Holy Palace) and capturing more enemy troops (Prison) to exchange for prestige or labor of resources. If you don't want to participate and can't use a truce agreement (aka bubble), then upgrade your hospital as much as possible to reduce loss of troops when attacked. If you have more troops than hospital capacity and attacked, those excess troops will be considered dead instead of wounded.

***Rewards***

> Picture to the left shows an example of the point threshold rewards. Simply meet the point threshold and you receive the corresponding rewards.

> Additional rewards will be earned for making rank in the stages. If your scores earn you a top 100 spot amongst all players in any of the stages, the following additional rewards can be earned: Gems, Alliance Honor, Alliance Points, and Speed ups. The higher the rank, the more of those rewards you earn.

> Lastly, the total ranking is an accumulation of all the scores and rankings from all the events of the week. Obviously, more rewards are given for falling in the top 100 of this ranking as well.
