We’ve received the Celestial Fortresses warning’s and the Mechanoids have begun touching down across Aelion. Through these unfeeling AI, Aelion has made great strides in technological advancement. Despite this, they are not our allies and the valuable data their hollow metal shells provide comes at a cost. Defeat is not an option that we can afford for both the safety of Aelion and the potential mysteries that can be unraveled through the study of these mechanical monstrosities.
The Mechanoid assault marks our first Invasion following the release of Aelion’s Call, which introduces new additions including Invasion Atlases and Operations. During an active invasion, everyone (yes, even you with only 2000 Prestige and a handful of followers!) is now capable of participating in adventures with representatives of that invading army which will award Tokens upon completion. Collection of these tokens will incrementally net you Sparks dedicated to that faction’s atlas, granting bonuses while fighting members of that force, general stat improvements, as well as new Symbols!
Operations, on the other hand, are an extra activity tied directly into the aforementioned feature. Upon receiving Tokens, you will be placed into an Operation group which consists of up to 40 other players. After this happens, all information regarding your current Operation can be accessed on the Aelinet in game or online through your browser (via the player menu on the left). Here, you work together to complete the Operations goal, your personal assignment, but you’re also in a competition to lead with the highest amount of Tokens for the greatest rewards! Each day the Operation will move to the next tier, and only the top players in each tier are moved onto the next - The higher the tier, the greater the rewards! We will go more in detail on these new additions in the future!
Again, Aelion calls upon its immortal protectors to aid in their home’s defense. Reasoning with the Mechanoids is far from a realistic possibility and the only choice available is to fight! Now rise, comrades, and charge forth to achieve glory and power on the battlefield!
