Events

### Description

Events are side events that can be played to gain additional boosts, gems and other rewards that can be used in the Story section of the game as well as other Events.

### Accessing Events

Events are accessed by obtaining the Warpwatch, unlockable at Stage 9. The corresponding icon is then found at the bottom right of the World screen, labelled 'Warp'. Clicking on the Warpwatch icon will open the Live Events tab with a different 'Warp' button in bright green when the event is live which players can use to access the event. The 'Warp' button changing to 'Go Home' while in an event, which will take the player back to the main World page.

### Types of Events

There are two types of Events, Standard and Timed Runs. Standard play like regular story empires with the player achieving shop level goals of each stage to progress to the next, the only time limit on the event is when the event closes. Whereas, Timed Runs only allow the player to access an event for a set amount of time before the stages are reset, with runs usually lasting 24 hours. In these players have to progress as far as they can as quickly as they can before the run time limit ends. Players can end runs at any time manually by navigating to the event's banner page, clicking the 'three lines' option button and choosing 'Abandon Run'.

### Event Length

Events are either about 7 or 14 days in length (with the exception of the 30-day Haunted Isle event), usually give or take one hour either way. Time between events varies between hours and a week.

### Downloading Events

Events must be manually downloaded for a player to access, with each event being between 5-12 MBs of data, as a one-time download. Once an event is downloaded and the event comes back around on the calendar it will not need to be re-downloaded. Events are usually available to be downloaded between an hour to a day before the event starts. Although, at times, multiple events can be pre-downloaded along with the next event days in advance. And, instead of the bright green 'Warp' button which players use to warp to and from, the warp button is darkened and instead reads 'Come Back In... (Days, Hours, Minutes until event opens.) ' When no events are available the 'Warp' screen will be blank with a 'More Coming Soon' badge at the bottom of the screen and the words 'More live events are coming soon! Check back here for details.'

### Event Rewards

Players are able to view the rewards tabs and stats of all the upcoming events.

Rewards for Events are split into two separate lists, with Achievements (represented by stars) and Rank (PvP leaderboard). These can be accessed at any time before, during or after an event (as long as it is still viewable on the Events tab), by navigating to the Events tab and then tapping on the toolbar labelled 'Rewards' found above the event badges. This toolbar contains the current number of Achievements gained in the event out of the maximum on the left, and your player rank on the right.

Tapping the Achievement symbol button at the bottom of the 'Rewards' tab will show the corresponding rewards for obtaining particular numbers of Achievements during the event. The specific number of achievements for each level of rewards changes with each event. Tapping the Trophy symbol button will show the Rank rewards that players can obtain by ranking, against other players, during the event by either progressing through the event or, to achieve the highest levels of rewards, completing all the event stages and Empire Mode in the shortest time possible. The specific levels of ranks for each event vary, with the spacing of reward tiers as well as lowest tier changing between events. This means that some events only reward the Top 50% while others reward the Top 90%.

Rewards can be obtained by players after an event has finished by heading to the 'Rewards' tab and clicking the 'Claim Rewards' button located next to the Achievements and Rank buttons.

### Player Ranking

Players are ranked based on how far along an event the player has gotten based on Stages and shop levels, and then further, by the time that players needed to complete all stages including the Empire Mode of the event. A players rank is shown in upper percentile terms '%', i.e. '5%' means that the player is in the top 5% of players and is doing better than 95% of all other players. When a player passes the '1%' percentile their rank changes to their precise rank noted with a '#' symbol and their rank number, e.g. #99.

Note: Times and distance that players will need in events to achieve certain ranks vary between individual events, and between event types. A Timed Run on Mine, All Mine that is in the 20 hour mark can be in the Top 50 players, whereas a 7 hour mark on Lost City of Atlantis may only reach the top 4% of players. This is due to many internal factors, e.g. the layout of the event, or external factors, e.g. number of players accessing the event.
