Winter Event 2020 Details!

It's on the Forums home page. What are you talking about?

I thought this was the post on the forum for the winter event? It's the only one I had as you post on Discord and I've always used as the "official one for the event".

Have you stopped doing that one on Discord and now do two different? Why didn't this one have it? And where is the one you speak of?

EDIT:
Found it, if anyone else searching:

https://forums.projectceleste.com/

*But this isn't where I've seen it before, and I couldn't find it by searching the forum, I had to enter the URL in its root and remove the last part in "https://forums.projectceleste.com/forums/" to find it. Why not include it in this part of the forum as I'm sure you usally have done?

Try now :)
 
Glad you like them! Marion is a classic and Kourion is a favorite of a couple of us from years ago.

I like the new ones as well! Kourion make for a cool short game, and I like the no caravans with a body of water optional to incite trade ships like in Euphrates in disorder.

I really love the frozen water in Marion with all the ships stuck in their hole. Poor sailors, they must not have liked to be charged by cavalry ;)
The ice fishing is cool too. I just hope that my new tc doesn't sink this spring.


I'm wondering if it is normal that the Ice King's Stronghold is so expensive to build compared to the other archives buildings.
The other archives only cost about one legendary game of mats and the stronghold cost 25 average games to build.
I guess I won't be getting many items if I want those 7 Strongholds.

edit: it was said on discord that it could be nerfed next patch. Don't build your strongholds until then.

I also thought it seemed VERY expensive - I mean mainly the 5 hearts now.

On the halloween event you could do 2 missions and have the material for that building (and leftovers) - and in this winter event you need to do twice that to get just ONE heart, and then you need to do that 4 times more, or even more if you do the less rewarding quests. Seems as someone typed a 5 where it should be a 2 or a 1 for the cost for that building. When even 1 Heart would be 4x times as expensive as other such buildings, I really wonder if this was intentional or if it in fact was a mistake.
 
The price of building the Ice King’s building is going to be reduced significantly next patch

This sounds very reasonable, but may I ask when next patch is coming? I've been watching the discord for a heads up for four days now, so since I see nothing yet I ask instead :)
 
There it came... The 10th ^^

//Age Of Empires Online Celeste Fan Project will undergo planned server maintenance on the 10th of January 2021 starting at 3:00 PM UTC (4:00 PM CET). The server will stop responding to login...//
 
Another great job, fun minigames, and cool new items, and much more, congratulations on the hard work.

Age of Empires Online will turn 10 on August 16, 2021, will we have something planned for the anniversary?
 
Just so you know. The price is still 5x Ice King Hearts for the Ice King's Stronghold, and patch was yesterday.

I just looked right now. Looks right to me.

haha .. just realized - came back to change my dumb post - it was so much cheaper than I thought (I thougth like 1, or maybe 2 HEART) that I didn't even think about that.

Sorry for that - but if anyone else is as sloppy as I was then perhaps someone else gets it also.
 
you need to get ice king heart and give it to the quest giver in the ice king fortress (complete quest and choose reward)
Thanks for the reply. I can only see one quest giver in the fortress, which is the Abominable Snowman who only gives out the tasks which get you heart shards and exchanges 25 shards for a heart.
Is there a minimum level for the task to exchange a heart for gear?
