The Lava Fountain Trial has received an exciting new update! Read more about it below, or watch the following YouTube video for a quick look into what's new: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UHLe8SGZCQ 
 

Core Changes:

  • Old Olympus Portals have been removed, and players have been compensated with Winged Drachmas (shop currency).
  • Lava Portals are new, limited-time event portals that can be used only to access Lava Fountains. They are removed after each iteration of the tournament.
  • Attacking Lava Portals will only close them — it won't remove your Shield of Peace, steal any resources, and won't grant you any combat rewards.
  • You can no longer take over enemy Lava Fountains, and Lava Oil is no longer lost when you are attacked, reducing frustration and shifting combat toward direct rewards.
  • Permanent troop losses in Lava Fountain battles have been removed.
  • Troop recovery costs have been reduced by 30 times in Lava Fountain attacks, making repeated battles much more accessible.
  • Each Lava Fountain now has a limited number of incoming attacks, preventing overwhelming pressure. The limit is shown in the Lava Fountains interface, and available targets are marked above the Lava Fountains on the map.
  • Sending too few low-level troops to mine will apply a Lava Oil gathering speed penalty. Only troops that contribute Leadership are taken into account, and if a Lava Fountain is attacked and the defending Leadership drops, the gathering speed will automatically decrease.


New Tournament: Sealed in Flame:

  • Earn Lava Seals from battles at Lava Fountains (both attackers and defenders).
  • Defenders receive Lava Seals only after their march returns from the Lava Fountain.
  • Progress through personal goals to unlock rewards, which scale based on your troop level.
  • Division rankings have been added, featuring new titles and Lava Oil rewards based on placement.


Lava Oil Rebalance:

  • Reduced Lava Oil from the Pursuit of Lava Oil event.
  • Added new sources: Sealed in Flame milestones and rankings.


New Exclusive Reward:

  • The Olympus City Appearance, which grants a powerful bonus — available in the Olympus shop.
  • Requires players to save up Winged Drachmas across multiple tournament iterations.
