Easter Event 2012

Event period

April 4th - April 11th 2012

Description

On April 4th you will be given a chicken that can produce golden eggs. Like all good Easter chickens, in order to lay eggs she will need to be well fed. Your chicken enjoys eating grass, worms and grain, so send out your population and let them search for food in your town. The probability of finding a specific chicken feed depends on the duration of your search. Once your chicken has laid some eggs they can be used to buy items in the Easter store. Some items are only available with golden eggs, others only with gold; but most can be bought with either gold or eggs.

How to open the chicken coop

Click on the small chicken icon at the bottom right corner of the screen to open your chicken coop. The Easter store can be accessed in the second tab of the Easter event window.

Eggs productivity

There are three different types of feed you can collect to feed your chicken (grass, worms and grain). Each type of feed increases your chicken's egg production by a specific value:

Feed	Productivity per hour
Grass	2
Worms	4
Grain	6

Each piece of food will keep your chicken satisfied for one hour. After one hour, it's gone and your chicken will be hungry again. You can feed your chicken up to 8 times in a row to extend the feeding time. To feed your chicken, click on one of the three "Feed (x/8)" buttons. When the limit is reached (8/8), the button will be deactivated. After one hour the counter will decrease and you can feed your chicken again. A progress bar and countdown on the screen show the current filling level of your chicken.

Hint: You can feed your chicken 3 different types of feed at the same time (eg. grass, worms and grain).

Collecting feed

You can send out your population to search for chicken feed. This has no effect on your normal resource production or your amount of free population. You can choose from four search durations: 5 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour and 2 hours. You can also cancel your search, but if you do this you won't get any chicken feed! After the search time is over, you have to collect the feed you have found. It's not automatically given to your chicken!

Second chicken

You can add a second chicken to your chicken coop by paying 250 gold. If you feed both chickens you can double your egg production! Two chickens can produce a maximum of 24 eggs per hour.

Countdown

The Easter event is only available for a limited time, between April 4th and April 11th, 2012. The remaining time is always visible, displayed as a countdown centered at the top of the Easter event window. After the countdown runs out, it won't be possible to produce any more eggs or to buy items in the Easter Store!
