Free! They are giving away a free general! I don’t believe it, but it is true. Castle Age is giving away a free general! Well, basically what you need to do is to have your friends send to you some gifts in order to create this hero. Yup, so what I did was to ask my friends to keep on gifting each other till we got all the necessary alchemy pieces  to create that hero.  I love the Castle Age developers for making this so very convenient for us.

There, 2 pieces of each and you are able to create Elin.

And that is exactly what happened. My superior strength has persuaded Elin to my side! Wait, that is not true. More like I have to much free time on my hands that day. Nope, I didn’t publish it to my friends. I am not a show-off, okay!

Wow, twin sister of Zarevok! She does not quite have the brute strength as her brother but she definitely received most of the smarts, which makes her a fearsome warrior in battle. Basically what they are saying is that Zarevok is a dumb ass pea-brain brute with a huge sword. Elin is smarter and yes, pleasant to look at, even with all those armour. And unlike most other female heroes, this one doesn’t seem to like to show off her boobs. Take for example, the below female heroes from Castle Age:

It is like one big Facebook Girls Gone Wild boobs-fest contest or something.  Even Keira, the demoness with two horns has big boobs! Take a look at her picture:

Look how perky they are! And amazingly, Castle Age finally came up with a female hero without showing off her humongous boobs to the world. I guess the artists for Castle Age grew up or something or suddenly turned gay. Or maybe his grandmother saw all those exotic art he drew and was not amused. Grounded him or something. Or made him wear a Chasity belt. Poor thing. Whatever, it is now time for the usual revealing of the loot from battle thingy that we all love so much.

You have been awarded with: Holy Smite! [attack: 12 defense: 12]

Arrggghhhhh…..just one epic loot and a crap one at that. No favor points, no nothing. I guess the War of the Red Plains is really for very high level players. But I decided to do a little experiment on the relationship between the number of soldiers killed and the loot we get.

War of the Red Plains with 4,732 soldiers killed :
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Ambrosia!
You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Corvintheus!
You have been rewarded 2 demi points of Azeron!

You have been awarded with: Mountain Keep!
You have been awarded with: Holy Smite! [attack: 12 defense: 12] You have been awarded with: Virtue of Temperance! [attack: 6 defense: 14]

Hmmm…..2 epic loots. Looks like the sweet spot for 2 epics is 4k soldiers. Holy Smite and Virtue of Temperance…..going for the hero Hyperion soon.

War of the Red Plains with 1,250 soldiers killed :
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Ambrosia!
You have been awarded with: Feral Staff! [attack: 2 defense: 2] You have been awarded with: Earth Shard! [attack: 1 defense: 3] You have been awarded with: Hellkite Minion! [attack: 32 defense: 27] You have been awarded with: Marketplace!
You have been awarded with: Marketplace!
You have been awarded with: Virtue of Temperance! [attack: 6 defense: 14]

Check it out, 1 epic loot – Virtue of Temperance! Not too shabby for just 1.2k soldiers. So I guess anyone hitting for slightly above 1k will get one epic reward. Interesting. And yes, Hyperion is within my grasp! I hope to be able to get yet another hero for my collection. Not really much of any use actually, but it is really cool to have them. And it gives me bragging rights among my friends. LOL!

War of the Red Plains with 3,614 soldiers killed:
You have been awarded 1 Favor Points!
You have been rewarded 1 demi points of Azeron!

You have been awarded with: Virtue of Justice! [attack: 25 defense: 25] You have been awarded with: Virtue of Justice! [attack: 25 defense: 25]

Oh, the favor point seems out of place but I will take it. And they gave me two Virtue of Justice – thanks guys! I really need TWO Virtue of Justice. Yes, thanks a lot. Anyway, I hit for 3.6k and seems a pretty good reward for that. Two epics and a nice bonus favor point.

Battle of the Dark Legion with 3,700 soldiers killed:

I think I really killed too many orcs (or soldiers since the recent name change). STILL NO FREAKING DRAGON SCALE!!! I wonder why they hate me so. Been fighting what feels like hundreds of such battles and I have received just ONE, I repeat just ONE Dragon Scale. I have only ONE Helm of Dragon Power. I feel a bit sad. And disappointed. Wuhahahaha!

Anyway, just for your information, tactics in the War of the Red Plains do give very good results. Look at the tactics below.

Not bad considering my attack stats are pretty low at my level. Of course, it would probably be even better. This depends on luck and the equipment and items you have. Although hero stats are important, it is not as important as the equipments your heroes are equipped with. The difference between the stats of the different heroes are small compared to the items and weapons.

Anyway, I have come to the end of my little update. See you guys next week. And enjoy yourself with Facebook’s Castle Age!
