Eldgamle underverk
Gjennom Elvenars oppdrag og eldgamle underverk kan vi oppdage litt mer av mysteriene som involverer den såkalte gamle verden og hvor høyt utviklet alle sivilisasjoner var, før de fleste av dem forsvant.
Vi kommer nå til å innse at i en veldig fjern fortid, var det et gammelt sted som heter Unur som ble bebodd av mennesker, alver og andre ulike raser, der det på et tidspunkt ble oppnådd stor utvikling. Opphavet til det hele er fortsatt ukjent, men nå er vi i ferd med å oppdage en ny arv fra den gamle verden: Eldgamle underverk!
Gjennom å samle kunnskap og med støtte fra de kloke magikerne i byen din, vil du oppdage noen gamle byggeplaner som er skrevet på arkaiske steinplater. Du innser at de på et mystisk vis er koblet til dine rasers arv og at de synes å binde alt sammen - Unur, naturen, menneskeheten, Elvenar - men du trenger ekstra innsats for å avdekke dem alle, ettersom de er forseglet med eldgammel runemagi.
Med ytterligere undersøkelser, dypere utforsking miljøet, og ved å lytte til dine rådgivere, vil du være i stand til å tyde betydningen av de gamle og mektige steinplatene, slik at du endelig kan rekonstruere dine forfedres eldgamle underverk i all sin forbløffende arkitektoniske utforming og magiske kraft!

Hensikt
Eldgamle underverk er en arv fra dine forfedre. De var store arkitektoniske magiske strukturer som tjente ulike formål: Noen var en kilde til ekstra kunnskap og makt på trening og kampteknikker, andre en kilde til en høy kulturell bevissthet, noen andre var et symbol og insentiv for unionen mellom raser, og andre var til og med en kanal for å øke kraften i de magiske relikviene, som igjen forbedret produksjonsøkningen.
Å ha dem i byen din vil tillate deg å ha alle de forskjellige bonusene, og vil hjelpe deg å utvikle din rase enda lenger, og derfor ta byen din til høyere velstandsnivåer!
Hver basisrase (menneskene og alvene) vil ha muligheten til å låse opp 2 eldgamle underverk på slutten av kapittel IV, og på slutten av kapittel VI vil du være i stand til å få tilgang til 2 flere eldgamle underverk for gjesterasen - dvergene.
I korte trekk vil eldgamle underverk:
- Gi ekstra permanente bonuser for byen din
- Gi deg gode grunner til å utforske verdenskartet enda lenger
- Fremme spillernes samhandling
- Tillate bruk av alle relikviene
På toppen av det hele, vil du også se motparten av dine eldgamle underverk i bakgrunnen av byen din, som medfører en fantastisk utsikt.
Krav
For å kunne bygges krever eldgamle underverk forskning på tilsvarende teknologi og ressurser. De trenger en gatetilkobling til hovedsalen for å aktiveres. Du kan bare bygge hver eldgamle underverk en gang, men de kan oppgraderes, bli solgt, og bygd på ny!
Menyene på eldgamle underverk
For å bygge ditt første eldgamle underverk må du først forske på og aktivere den tilsvarende teknologien på slutten av kapittel IV. Ved å gjøre dette, vil du også låse opp menyen for eldgamle underverk, representert ved et runesirkel-ikon
Fil:Runecircleicon.png som vil være en del av hovedmenyen (akkurat som handelsmannen, for eksempel).
Ved å klikke på ikonet for eldgamle underverk, vil du få tilgang til vinduet for eldgamle underverk der du vil være i stand til å navigere gjennom alle eldgamle underverk: De du har forsket frem, bygget, og de som fortsatt ikke er låst opp. Som en oversikt, vil du også kunne se fremgangen på aktiverte runer, og tilhørende runebiter for hvert eldgamle underverk.
Ved å holde musen over hvert miniatyrbilde for de eldgamle underverkene vil du se et verktøytips med:
- Beskrivelsen til det eldgamle underverket
- Nivået på bygningen
- Bonusen som gis til byen din
- Statusen for hver bonus
- Mengden av tilgjengelige runebiter for bygningen
By opening an Ancient Wonder you will then see its own menu with three tabs:
*The Overview where you can see:
- The level for the building
- The Ancient Wonder's Bonus
- The bonus Status
- The available Rune Shards
- The Building Description
*The Rune Panel where you can:
- Insert the Runes Shards (if you have any available)
- See how many Runes you have activated on the Rune Circle
- Collect Broken Shards
- Buy the missing Broken Shards to forge one undisclosed Rune
*The Build Panel that will:
- Show you the requirements and costs for actually building the Ancient Wonder
- Allow you to place the building once you revealed all 9 Runes
Rune Shards
By now, you will know that the Rune Circles you recently discovered are not complete! Their Runes were shattered and are missing some parts... those parts - The Rune Shards - are still lost and you need to find them in order to complete the Circles!
Only by fully activating the Rune Circle with 9 magical Runes will you be able to build an Ancient Wonder. But this process will only be possible if you collect the missing Rune Shards, insert them in the Circle and activate the Runes.
That means your first step will be to collect the Rune Shards!
Each Ancient Wonder is attached to a specific Rune Shard. You can see which Rune Shard belongs to each Ancient Wonder on the Overview panel.
You will find Rune Shards by:
- Completing the Provinces in the World Map - Each Completed Province will give you a random Rune Shard for the Ancient Wonders you have already unlocked in the Tech Tree.
- Completing Quests
- Investing Knowledge Points in other players' Ancient Wonders - You can invest in Ancient Wonders belonging to your Fellows or your discovered neighbors.
After collecting a Rune Shard, you need to insert it in the Rune Circle of the relevant Ancient Wonder. With a bit of fortune, it will activate one of the missing Runes within that Circle and reveal it. However, in some cases, the magic process will just try to reveal a Rune which has already been activated and in this case your Shard will break even more.
But not all is lost! Your Broken Shards will be kept and once you have collected 10 of them, you can forge them into a new unrevealed Rune.
| Hint:Broken Shards can be used to reveal all kinds of Runes in any Ancient Wonder! So if you still have them after building one Ancient Wonder you can use them to forge and activate a Rune in a new one! |
Upgrade Ancient Wonders
As explained, building an Ancient Wonder is a 3 steps process: Research its technology on the tech tree, activate the 9 runes and pay the required Goods. Once an Ancient Wonder is placed in your city, its bonus is immediately activated for your city in level 1, but you can increase those bonus by upgrading the building up to level 10.
Upgrading from level 1 to level 5 will require 2 steps: the research of the level and the use of Relics to complete the upgrade. If you click the on the Ancient Wonder you will now see 3 Tabs: Overview, Research and Upgrade.
The Research tab will show you a Knowledge Points progress bar, similar to the ones in the Tech Tree. You will then be able to invest the required Knowledge Points and see the list of players who are helping you to research the upgrade level. Once the bar is full you will need to go to the upgrade tab and finish the upgrading process by using Relics.
| Hint:The amount of the different required Relics for each upgrade differs according to your boosted type! You can see the required amounts for your boosted Relics type on each building information table. |
To upgrade any Ancient Wonder to its level 6 you will face a new Rune Circle that requires 9 new Runes to be revealed and activated as the architectural magic of your ancestors takes a new turn!
After this, from level 6 to level 10, the Ancient Wonder will again need Knowledge Points investment and the mix of the magic relics.
| Hint:The Relics required for the Ancient Wonders upgrades are removed from your Relics inventory. |
That means that when you use your booted Relics, you will probably loose a small percentage your production boost. So be sure to have plenty of Relics and keep collecting lots of them, that way you can easily afford or compensate the loss of production boost when upgrading an Ancient Wonder.
Invest in Ancient Wonders
It is possible for players (Fellows and discovered players) to help each other with the upgrades of Ancient Wonders! For that all is needed is to visit a player, click on the icon Fil:Runecircleicon.png over the Ancient Wonder, select the help tab and invest the desired Knowledge Points.
The top players on the helping rank will be rewarded for their investment and will get Rune Shards and/or Knowledge Points! Remember that even if your Ancient Wonder is built you will still need another set of 9 revealed Runes to upgrade it to level 6, meaning that this is an alternative to gaining them through completing Provinces. It will also contribute to your fellows city development.
You can only invest in Ancient Wonders if you have already researched their the technology yourself, meaning that once you unlock the Ancient Wonder for your race, you can immediately start to invest in Human/Elven Ancient Wonders but you will only be able to invest in Dwarven Ancient Wonders after researching the corresponding technology!
As said before, Ancient Wonders are a great way to promote players engagement with each other regardless of the chosen race. Humans can invest in Elven Ancient Wonders and vice versa, because they will receive Rune Shards for the Ancient Wonder of their own race that has the same effects as the one they have helped. For example, if you are a Human and want Rune Shards for your Great Bell Spire, you can invest in the Elven Crystal Lighthouse.
| Ancient Wonders Rewards |
- Only the top helping players that have helped another Ancient Wonder will be rewarded.
- The amount and content of the rewards depend on the Ancient Wonder level.
- The higher the level of an Ancient Wonder the more places get a reward and bigger the rewards are
- You do not get rewards for investing in your own Ancient Wonders. You will be shown in the Helping Rank but with no reward icon. For example, if the owner is in the first place of the helping ranking, the first reward will be granted for rank position 2 and so on.
Sell Ancient Wonders
Ancient Wonders can be sold, but be very aware that if you decide to do so, your city will lose all its bonus related to that building and will not get any resources back.
