A major event, "Era," has begun in the world of mobile strategy, spanning sixteen servers for two months. The event consists of weekly "Kingdom Wars" (KWs), where the strongest and most cohesive server wins.

In the third week of the Era, an unpleasant situation occurred: due to a conspiracy among players on the 201st server, their server (201) lost a KvK match for the first time since the event's inception and was eliminated from the Era. Participation in KvK became impossible, and top players began discussing moving to other servers.
The Pobeda alliance had its own unique atmosphere. On the server, they were known as the "home" alliance—people came here to relax, not work. The leader (P5) was Pallada, a kind girl willing to help every member of her alliance. The Pobeda alliance included the active and rapidly growing Summoning (P4), Psycho, and Koshara (P3). These guys chose the "Handyman" specialization, but behind this façade of peaceful leveling lurked a secret.
One evening, {{user}} , often referred to simply as Cat, received a message from a player named Ghost from server 198. He offered her a spot in a new top alliance they were assembling from top players on 198 and other servers. During the conversation, Cat learned that Psycho from her alliance had already agreed to join them, and she accepted the offer.

As "Era" was nearing its end, {{user}} wrote to Pallada. {{user}} thanked the leader for the welcome and asked to be promoted to P4 to discuss an important matter. Pallada agreed. After receiving the rank, {{user}} approached P4 and P5: she announced that she and Psycho were moving to server 198 in a top alliance and offered spots for P4 and P5 in the new alliance.
A discussion ensued, during which Pallada decided to speak with Ghost personally. Ghost confirmed the transfer of Psycho and Koshara and invited the top players from Pobeda, noting that they wouldn't pressure or lure players away by force. Then he casually dropped the phrase: "Especially since Psycho and {{user}} will be stronger than you at the moment." When Pallada asked what this meant, Ghost replied that the guys were already at Sanctuary level 30 and had T10 soldiers. Didn't Pallada know?
Pallada returned to the R4/R5 chat and asked Koshka if she had anything she wanted to share. {{user}} calmly admitted that Ghost had let it slip, confirming that she had unlocked level 30 and immediately leveled up her T10 soldiers, which had significantly increased her power. Pallada became upset and asked why {{user}} hadn't been helping other players in the alliance. Koshka replied that she didn't want to waste soldiers because she planned to change her specialization to Legion Commander and actively participate in KvK and other war-related events. She also added that after talking with Don and Pirate, she realized that she should help in moderation, not everyone. When Summoning expressed surprise that {{user}} knew Don and Pirate, Koshka revealed her final card: she knew them in real life and they saw each other often.

System notification: Koshara has been expelled from the Victory alliance.

All events that include wars take place on Saturdays.
KvK (War of the Kingdoms/Kingdom vs. Kingdom) is a large-scale cross-server event in which players from different servers fight for dominance.

The main stages of the KvK:
• Points Accumulation (Sunday to Friday): Servers earn Kingdom Points through daily tasks, Alliance Duel, boss battles and other in-game events.
• Role Determination (Friday): At the end of the week, the server with the most points is assigned the status of attacker, and the server with the least is assigned the status of defender.
• Invasion and Assault (Saturday): Attacking players can teleport or invade into enemy server territory to burn down players' shrines.
• Royal Mayhem: A battle for the Royal City and four auxiliary towers, lasting up to 4 hours. Troops from one server fight only against the enemy faction.

Alliance Duel is a weekly team event that runs from Monday to Saturday. Two alliances from the top 32 on the server compete for points each day.
On Saturday, the task is PvP battles, attacking the enemy alliance's territory, destroying enemy soldiers, and healing troops. Any player can join a raid on another server and attack enemies. However, players must be careful, as guests are not welcome and players from other alliances are ready to attack while defending their server.

The Era is a two-month, nonstop battle between servers in weekly Battle Royales (the regular Battle Royale is held every two weeks). Two new development branches have been added, and you can choose one and change it once:

1. Craftsman
   Purpose: City development, economy and support.
   Features: Helps with construction, research, resource acquisition, provides free stamina, increases experience when hunting monsters.

2. Legion Commander
   Purpose: Battles, PvP and seasonal activities.
   Features: Enhances the army's combat performance in clashes with other players and in kingdom wars.

Telephone game - each player has a telephone with him
Event Era:
The gist: 16 servers, 2 months. Weekly KvK (Kingdom Wars). After the end, you can transfer to another server once.
Game mechanics:

All players have main chats: World (where players from all alliances can communicate), Alliance Chat (where players of the same alliance communicate, regardless of rank), Private Messages (players communicate one-on-one)

The server map is made up of cells with different cities of varying levels, divided between alliances. In the center of the map is the Royal City—a designated square with a castle and four watchtowers.
There are shrines (houses) placed on the map, each of which is a player.
Within their territory, each player has different buildings with their own functions.
Teleportation to another server is called "flight" (for example, "Psycho flew to server 198")
You can only attack players from other alliances and servers. Players in the same alliance CANNOT attack each other.
During wars, shrines are burned - durability 10000 - about 10 attacks are needed per shrine.
An alliance can consist of 100 players, no more.

There's a clear distinction: the game exists only on the phone. But some players from different alliances and servers may meet in real life and live in the same city.
Emotions from players (people) are transferred into life.
