Presents
Presents represent the event resource. They can be used to acquire special items from the event shop.
Your presents are listed in the "Event" tab of your storehouses.
There are many opportunities to get event resources:

• Rewards for Christmas Scenarios (Buff Adventures)
• Two combat based Christmas Adventures (chance to get presents as an additional reward)
• Special Christmas Daily Quests and Event Quest chain rewards
• Explorer treasure searches (chance to get presents on top)
• Conversion of the Christmas collectables in the Mayor's House
• Event Calendar
• Trade with players
• Present packages in the Shop

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...llectibles.png

Bells, Candy canes and Gingerbread. Did you miss them? These Christmas collectibles will spawn on your island until the removal phase of the event. Nine collectibles will spawn with every spawn cycle, randomly chosen between bells, candy canes, and gingerbread. All of them reward exactly 2 resources when clicked. Please be aware that for the full number of collectibles to spawn, the whole (main) island has to be claimed.

The Christmas collectible items can be converted into Presents in your Mayor's house until the removal phase of the event. Trading is possible until the removal phase of the event as well.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...t_calendar.png

Isn't it nice to receive a gift each day, just by clicking on a door? To open the Event Calendar interface, simply access the Calendar icon next to your avatar.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...dar_access.png

4 DIFFERENT TYPES OF DOORS

You can open a door each day. In total, there are 21 of them.
The calendar will display the time left to open the current day's door.



Type: Regular door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for gems afterward
Requirement: It doesn't matter if previous doors are still closed or not



Type: Buff Adventure door
Description: Can be opened anytime for free, once the respective date was reached
Requirement: It doesn't matter if previous doors are still closed or not



Type: Special bonus door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for gems afterward
Requirement: All previous doors need to be open



Type: Celebration day door
Description: Can be opened on the specific date displayed or for gems afterward
Requirement: All previous doors need to be open
Rewards: Very special rewards ;)

Opening missed doors for gems will cost 100 gems for normal doors and 300 gems for special doors due to a very high value in the calendar. The "Celebration Day" and "Bonus" doors are both "special doors".

Don't forget to open the doors daily and also remind your friends to do so!

SPECIAL CALENDAR REWARDS
https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...use_banner.png

This year the new building "Riverhouse" will be a part of the Calendar - This snugly little house can be placed between and around other floating residences and even on rivers around your island! It will grant space for 40 Population! Please be aware that a specific placing order might intervene with your plans. If you place several river houses in quick succession it can happen that a water building spot shown as available at the beginning of the construction is already taken by another started construction. But don't worry, the surplus building construction will be removed and the building put back into the star menu.

Riverhouse

Description: Cute small riverhouse that can even be built on rivers.
Upgrades: Can be upgraded with tokens 3 times for +10 population (up to 70), for 11, 14 and 17 Tokens.
Recurring: Tearing it down will return it to your Star Menu.
Tradeable/Giftable: No/No Yes/No

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...est_chain_.png

This year again features a quest chain that will see you helping Santa build something truly special for your settlers and their holiday cheer!

2 CHRISTMAS QUEST CHAINS

Name: Christmas Market
Minimum requirement: Level 26
Description: Help Santa bring some festive fun to your settlers and be rewarded with your very own Christmas Bakery building, once you have also completed its companion chain "Winter Wonderland".

Name: Winter Wonderland
Minimum requirement: Level 26
Description: Santa wants your aid in building up his new "Winter Wonderland" island, but not everything is as it seems...

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...mas_bakery.png

It is not a Christmas market but a Christmas Bakery! What can it do and how does it work? You know for sure that the nice smell of cakes on your island comes from this beautiful new building. It can be placed anywhere on your island, where it can buff the output of all Mines, Food and Weapon production buildings in an area around it. This means it is a special building that halves the input costs on top of boosting the output! It can be upgraded 2 times and every level provides one buff. If placed correctly, the potential benefits are extremely lucrative! You also don't need to fret about fully upgrading it this year, as you'll be able to continue doing so in every future Christmas Event. This culture building has a cooldown of 1 week which can be decreased with every further Christmas Bakery. Same as for the Christmas market, only one Christmas Bakery can be activated to apply one buff in its vicinity.

<table><tbody><tr><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Level</b></center></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Move costs</b></center></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Upgrade costs</b></center></th></tr><tr><td>1</td><td>-</td><td>Presents 1500<br />Marble 1500</td></tr><tr><td>2</td><td>ExoticPlank 1000<br />Granite 1000</td>
<td>Presents 2500<br />Granite 2500</td></tr><tr><td>3</td><td>ExoticPlank 2000<br />Granite 2000</td><td>-</td></tr></tbody></table>

We purposefully removed the move-cost of the Christmas Bakery while it's at level one. We know many of you will want to maximise its efficiency, so this lets players try out and test different placements for the building before they beginning to commit to upgrading it. It should be noted that the Christmas Bakery will lose any upgrades it possesses if it's demolished and returned back to the Star Menu; we've added an additional confirmation box to prevent any unfortunate mishaps!

What's also noteworthy is the cost of the buffs themselves: they're quite cheap for the powerful output bonuses they provide:

<table><tbody><tr><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Upgrade Level</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Buff Name</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Area range</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Buff cost</center></b></th><th bgcolor="#d5bb8d"><center><b>Description</center></b></th></tr><tr><td>Level 1</td><td>Cookies and Milk</td><td>32x32, squares 16x16</td><td>500 Bronze<br />1000 Water</td><td>Miners: Tripling their output while halving the input taken for 23hours</td></tr><tr><td>Level 2</td><td>Secret Santa</td><td>22x22, squares 11x11</td><td>500 SimplePaper<br />500 Tool</td><td>Food Productions: Tripling their output while halving the input taken for 23hours</td></tr><tr><td>Level 3</td><td>Christmas Songs</td><td>16x16, squares 8x8</td><td>500 IntermediatePaper<br />500 GoldOre</td><td>Weapon Producers: Tripling their output while halving the input taken for 23hours</td></tr></tbody></table>

Christmas Bakeries can be upgraded every year

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...adventures.png

Presents: While the buff adventures will provide you with Presents during the event until deactivation, the two Combat Christmas Specific Adventures will only have a chance of providing you with Presents.
If you play them after the final event deactivation (see deactivation steps) they won't provide Presents anymore.

2 CHRISTMAS ADVENTURES (COMBAT)

Name: Save the Christmas feast
Minimum requirement: Level 26
Description: The Croaker has stolen all the presents. Defeat the Croaker and retrieve the missing presents.
Price: 95 Gems

Name: The stolen Sleigh
Minimum requirement: Level 36
Description: The Christmas Feast is in danger. The Croaker has stolen Santa’s sleigh. It is up to you to get it back.
Price: 95 Gems

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...adventures.png

It's now custom for Christmas buff adventures to be hidden behind certain Event Calendar doors. Before you redeem them, make sure you're in good holiday spirits; you'll be helping Santa out by delivering gifts to houses on multiple islands!

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003.../sad_units.png

The buff adventures are balanced for the following level groups which are checked once you open a door: 16-25, 26-35, 36+. There are 6 special adventure doors in the calendar and you needn't use a General, for this Christmas buff adventures require certain types of buffs instead of troops.

With the level cap raise to 80 it is just the perfect time to also increase the upgrade level of the buildings.
Level 7 Upgrades require the new resources Oil and/or Advanced Tools. You can obtain Oil if you combine Wheat, Stone, Herbs and Oilseeds in the Oil Mill. Oilseeds can be obtained from Adventures with this new game version. Below you can find the table of buildings that will already be upgradeable with this version. <br>

With the upcoming updates more Level 7 buildings will be provided.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...er_removal.png

WHAT HAPPENS AT THE START OF THE REMOVAL PHASE?
(6th of January 10:00 CET)

The core mechanisms of the Event are turned off at the start of the removal phase.

• Info Widget/Countdown
  The event countdown gets replaced by a new countdown.
  The new one indicates the remaining time of the removal phase until the event gets completely deactivated.
• Christmas adventures
  Event scenarios from the calendar are canceled and cannot be started.
  Event scenario buffs cannot be produced anymore and can be reimbursed on the Mayor's house.
  You can still play the two shop Christmas adventures.
  If you finish an adventure before the event gets completely deactivated,
  special event-related items like Presents are still rewarded.
• Quests & Achievements
  The event Quest chains and Achievements will be deactivated.
  New Christmas event-related tasks will no longer be triggered.
  Only completed Christmas event achievements remain visible.
• Collectibles
  All event-related collectibles stop spawning.
  Christmas collectables spawned before the start of the removal phase can be collected.
  The respective resources (Bells, Candy, and Gingerbread) will be hidden from the storage and trade
  The resources get converted to gold coins later (see event resource conversion).
  The related Mayor house collection (Basket of Presents) will also be removed
• Treasure Search (Explorers)
  Explorers only sent and returned during the Christmas Event will bring back Christmas Resources:
  In very rare cases, Explorers may find Christmas Resources on arrival shortly after the start of the Event & shutdown phase
• Misc
  The option to convert Marble and Presents to Granite inside the Mayor's house is no longer available.
  The event shop remains active and Presents can be used to get special items until complete event deactivation.
  The event calendar will no longer be accessible.
  Event-related loading screen, Reindeer, UI skins, the giant Christmas tree, and music will be removed/set to default.

https://ubistatic-a.akamaihd.net/003...activation.png

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER THE DEACTIVATION?
(13th of January, 10:00 CET)

• Trade
  New trade offers containing event currency can't be set up anymore.
  Active trade offers containing event currency are set to invisible.
• Shop/Event currency
  The Event shop category is not available anymore.
  Event currency is not visible in the Mayor's house anymore and will be converted into Coins later.
• Christmas Adventures & event buffs
  Event currency rewards from adventures are deactivated.
  • This applies to Christmas adventures from the shop. During the event, these adventures drop either buffs or Presents (on top of other loot). With complete deactivation, the chance to get Presents is removed from loot tables. As a result, buffs will always be chosen.
  • Christmas buff adventures from the Event Calendar are changed, too. They reward gold coins instead of Presents. With event resource conversion, the Christmas buff adventures will be deleted, because you cannot finish them anymore.
  • Buffs needed for Christmas buff adventures can no longer be produced.
    Remaining buffs can be applied on your Mayor's house for a full refund of production resources.

EVENT RESOURCE CONVERSION
(planned for one of the future game updates: January or February)

As usual, all event-related resources will be converted into gold coins.
No event resources are supposed to remain in the game.

A script will run during the game update downtime to replace all event resources (especially Presents) with gold coins.
The conversion applies to all items of that type, such as

• items in your warehouses and in your Star Menu
• items included in public trades and friend trades
• items attached to in-game mails like loot from adventures or explorer searches

Conversion rates: The final amount will be rounded up.
1 Present = 0.4 gold coins
1 event collectible = 0.04 gold coins


There is no action needed from your side, you will receive an in-game message with the corresponding amount of gold coins.
The Christmas Scenarios from the calendar will be deleted during the conversion.
