Huge success and an Overwhelming response..

The popularity of the last Tournament realm X (which had to be closed in just 24 hours!) and due to the fun players on this realm are having, we will release another realm X, Realm X2 this Friday April 29th at 17:00 UTC.

Because a number of you wanted the servants entry requirement lifted, we will do so - you will not need to spend or have any servants to enter the realm. In fact, the Nobility Package will be free on this realm but power ups (spells) will be enabled(1).

PURPOSE OF THIS REALM
Our overall purpose of this realm is to release a larger version of the current realm X, (as was requested asked by many players). Most of the rules will be similar. We will aim for the realm to end naturally in 6-12 months.


SUMMARY OF REALM CONFIGURATION

1. Realm will be opened for registration for 1 week OR for 1000 players max, whichever happens first.
2. Speed will start at 1x and will progressively increase as follows:
   1. Speed will increase to 5x (2x troops movement) immediately when registration closes (that is, max 1 week since the realm opens)
   2. Speed may increase every month as per details below
3. No re-spawns after the realms is closed
4. You will need to have achieved a rank of Baron or higher to enter in some other realm
5. Sleep mode MAY be enabled at some point in time
6. There will be 1 rebel village per player
7. Simpler building requirements
8. handicap will be enabled at start but will be turned off 1 month after the realm opens
9. Gov cost will increase by 1 chest per gov/village
10. Clan size limit to 50 players
11. Realm will end when 1 clan remains or when wars stop.

REALM CONFIGURATION - DETAILS AND EXPLANATIONS OF SOME POINTS
Registration and realm size
We want to keep the registration open for one week however, if 1000 players register earlier than this, we will close the registration early. We want to keep the realm size to be max 1000 players, preferably less.

Speed
Because we want a longer registration time, speed will be slow at the beginning to allow most players to start on roughly equal ground. Immediately after the registration closes, the speed will match that of Realm X as it is now - 5x production&recruitment and 2x troop movement time.

Because this is a non-permanent realm, we will increase the speed, at our discretion, at most once monthly. We will analyze the current situation and decide if speed increase is necessary to bring an end game within our target of 6-12 months.

We will increase the speed by a maximum by 50% at a time (aka max 50% per month)

Sleep Mode
If the speed happens to increase to a point that we feel sleep mode is needed, then we will enable it.

End Game scenario
To avoid confusion, we want to end the realm when there is one last clan remaining however, if it so happens that more clans are remaining, and all choose to stay 'friends', ie, choose not to go to war with each other, then there is no need to keep the realm opened and it will close at this point. RoE is not sim-city but sim-war. No wars, no sim.

(1) every realm must monetize somehow so please no complaints about it - if a realm with spells is not your thing, please don't enter this one, further realm-x-style realms are likely.
