Greetings Citizens of Heckfire! Changes are coming to the realm! Our most esteemed Hydramancers (Not to be confused with Hydromancers, whose magic helps is dedicated to recycling Cedrics used bath water or Hydra-Romancers, who mostly write uncomfortably descriptive scrolls about their…appreciation for three headed monsters) have been hard at work on arcane incantations to empower our soldiers as they head into the meat grinder, er, I mean GLORIOUS BATTLE with the biggest, baddest Hydra of them all, the level 5 Hydra raid! But make no mistake! Even with this eldritch boon, the battle ahead will still be tremendous challenge. Only those who have staunch allies, advanced research, battle tested dragons and the blessings of idols will stand a chance to claim victory! To ensure your troops are up to snuff and ready to take on this legendary encounter, you will need to make sure your army is the toughest, smartest, fastest and best equipped in all the land. To this end, we are also releasing a new tier of buildings including almost every existing structure! The following structures can now be upgraded to level 29: Town Hall University Study Training Pit Barracks Hospital Dragon Spire Clan Tavern Waritorium Embassy Wall Idolith Treasury Ward Quarry Farm Those Pesky Hydras aren't going to be easy to dislodge, so we've also been scouring the depths of the Heckfire's Libraries to locate new, powerful Dragons to give you even more powerful raid options! Learn about Polli, Reefus and Snippysnap at https://forums.kingdomsofheckfire.com/threads/introducing-the-hydra-hunting-trio.2663/ In addition to these powerful improvements to your arsenal, the rewards for the Hydra5 encounter have been improved to better reflect the intended effort, coordination and power necessary to conquer the beast, so when you take it down, you get to walk away with more than just bragging rights. It is important to note that H5 is still intended to be an endgame level raid, and it is no exaggeration to say it will require dedication and a significant amount of effort to fully prepare yourself and your clan before you can take it on. So sharpen your swords, get those allies prepped and start hitting the books and perhaps it will be YOUR clan can become legendary hydra slayers! Good luck and happy (Hydra5) Slaying! -The Heckfire Team
