Rules of the Qualifiers

- All players will have Premium (old version) activated for the duration of the Qualifications.
- No attacks between players.
- Automatic attacks are performed against each player every 10 hours, for a total of 50 waves. The first is an exception being 18 hours long and starting 1 hour after the start of the Qualifiers.
- Each wave will hit in an exact hour according to a schedule. The schedule for all 50 waves will be available to all participants in-game.

- The strength of the attacking armies will depend on the networth of the attacked player. The more networth a players has, the stronger armies will attack him.
- For every defeated barbarian camp in the last 10 hours the player will get a 1% increase in the strength of the nomad attacks.
- Each Barbarian camp defeated by а player will increase the size of the army of the next attacked Barbarian camp by a certain percentage. The increase is specific to the attacking player and will not affect the army that other players will see in the camp. The Barbarian army increase modifier in the camps returns its original value at the beginning of each day.
- Battles are calculated the same way as in the rest of the realms in IO. Nomad units do not have carrying capacity, they always loot everything in a fortress siege.
- Attack types follow a random principle and will not take turns.
- If the attacking army wins a Fortress siege, all player’s buildings’ level drops by 1 and their base net worth points cost is deducted from player’s points. If a building is under construction, the level in progress is suspended and its net worth points are deducted. Houses’ level cannot drop below 5 in the Capital, and below 1 in the rest of the Provinces.
- If the nomad attack is sent to a province which has not been annexed by the player (e.g. attack going to Province 3, but the player has Province 2 and Province 1), the attack will hit a random province, annexed by the player (either Province 1 or Province 2).
- If the attack is sent to more than one province, but the player has only one annexed province, the armies combine and hit the existing province.
- For each successful defensive victory each player will receive war income equal to 50% of the annihilated enemy armies in gold equivalent divided equally between wood and iron. This income will be available for only 10 hours.
- All players start with built Fortress and 25 garrisoned archers.
- The maximum count of provinces each player can have is 9: the Capital + 8 Annexed Provinces; players cannot annex or take vassals outside of their exclusive zone.
- Instant options - army training, construction and research, as well as transport between provinces, will be available under attack. Buildings, technologies and armies can be ordered in queue even under attack.
- The base limit for instant research is 3 hours instead of 12 hours. The higher the development, the net worth points and the number of diamonds spent for instant research, the higher the limit gets.
- The army upkeep will vary depending on the percent that the army represents from the total networth of the player.
- All terrain modifiers will be with increased values. In relation to this, neutral terrains will also grant bonuses and modifiers to the empire. Additionally, the terrain of alliance holdings is always neutral, and they will also be affected by the modifiers from neutral terrains.
- Market prices will be fixed by their base equivalent and will not change during the whole season. Only an option for resource exchange will be available (even under attack). There is fixed market commission - 15% (fifteen).
