The Village Brawl – HOW TO!

Brief overview: Through the new building “boxing ring” you can now challenge other villages to compete with you. If you’d like to compete with another village, a matchmaking system will automatically find you a suitable opponent. To meet a challenge, you’ll select villagers for your attack and defense. As a courageous challenger you may even wager certain items on your victory in this contest. If you prevail, you’ll get twice the amount back – even of rare items! To see how well your village is faring, there is even a ranking to keep you updated about your standing.

IMPORTANT: No villagers are actually being injured during this purely sporting contest!

PLEASE NOTE: This first season of “The Village Brawl” is a pure test-season! If there are no serious issues, the first real season will start after this 2-3 weeks test. BUT: prices and rewards are already available in the test season!
