Crusades
From Helbreath Portal
Introduction
As many of us are aware, the game of Helbreath revolves against its main feature, the Crusades.
What is the Crusade you say?
A Crusade is a Gamemaster hosted event, involving a catastrophic all-out war between the followers of Aresien, and the followers of Eldiniel.
Only during the Crusades will special abilities, structures, units as well as strategy be implemented. Certain objectives will ensure victory against the other town.

General Information
The Crusade is organized by Gamemasters two times a week (Saterday and Tuesday). During the Crusade, monster experience gains are greatly diminished, and some areas no longer become available. This is to encourage the town to defend its own nation.
'YOU DO NOT LOSE ITEMS OR EXPERIENCES POINTS WHEN YOU DIE DURING A CRUSADE!!!
Once the all-out war has started, a victory must be attained to end the event. To win the war, a town must destroy all of the opposite town's principal buildings (All the buildings in town except the Barracks).
When war breaks out, you can choose your role in the war. You can be either a soldier, a constructor, or a commander. Here are their roles.
Soldier
The Soldier are the backbone of the army. In the battlefield, they receive a 30% damage bonus, allowing them to deal heavier damage. The Guildsmaster of the Soldier can set the warp point to a certain location, so all Soldiers of his guild can teleport to that postion from the town. There are no prerequisites to being a soldier.
Constructor
A constructor is essentiel in the face of battle. Constructors can establish buildings and defense points to protect or attack a certain position. Constructors can build Detectors, Mana Collectors, Arrow Towers, and Cannon Towers. (See below tables for description). Experience points are rewards for constructing buildings. There are no prerequisites to being a constructor but it does require you to use a pick axe. Constructor can teleport to a location of which their guildsmaster/commander has set, and can only build close to where the guildsmaster/commander has set (both shown on the map).
Commander
A Commander is needed to organize an army. They are responsible for setting a teleport and build point so that troops from the guild can get to the front lines faster. To become a Commander you must be a guildsmaster.
How the Crusades work
The war begins with the Magic Generator. The Magic Generator will be installed in front of the City Hall. The Magic Generator will shower the enemy town with a storm of meteors directed at their principal buildings. To obtain Mana for the Magic Generator to function, the town must set up Mana Collectors near the Mana Stones in the Middlelands (Constructors can build Mana Collectors).
The Mana Collectors will transport Mana to the Generator, so be careful that the Mana Collectors are carefully guarded with Arrow Towers and Cannon Towers.
Once enough mana is gathered, the Magic Generator will release meteors at an enemy structure. However, the enemy town can defend their structures with Energy Seal Generators. These are un-buildable, and each town will only receive 2 when they start. If both of these Energy Seal Generators are still standing, the meteors from the Magic Generator will be useless against enemy buildings (But painful against enemy citizens). Destroy one or both of the Energy Seal Generators to render the opposing town vulnerable.
Fighting the Crusade
During the Crusades, each town receives special units listed below.

Contribution Points
Slaying an enemy will gain you contribution points. The higher level enemy you kill, the more experience and gold you will gain. At the end of the war, the winner of the war will keep all its newly gained contribution points, and be rewarded according to the amount of the contribution points. The loser of the war will lose ALL of their contribution points gained in battle, and will not be rewarded. (That means the contribution points you had before will stay there, just the ones gained by killing enemies will be lost).
A most important part to contribution is that it helps your town gain new units. The amount of contribution points gathered in the Crusades determines what your town will get.
Invasion
There seems to be a way, by talking to the City Hall Officer, you can somehow teleport directly into the enemy town if their Magic Generator is destroyed. This is called Invasion, during an invasion, if your own town decides to summon a meteor storm to attack the other town, you will be damaged. It should be noted the the Magic Generator is extremly hard to destroy.
