Advent Calendar Is Back!



Commanders, Advent Calendar is back with us this year, reformed: it now works as its name suggests!

Every day from December 1 at 7:00 CET through December 26 at 7:00 CET (UTC+1), log in to the game, access the Advent Calendar via a window or a special object (a display column) in your festive Village, open a door, and claim a free surprise present. It’s as simple as that—but there’s more!



[h2]Open More Doors to Get Extra Gifts![/h2]
Claim several Advent presents to receive even more goodies:
  • 3 doors opened: Gift Terminal Tokens
  • 7 doors opened: a special crew member
  • 12 doors opened: a New Year Large Box
If you miss a day, you can claim its Advent present the next day—together with that day’s present. But remember, the opportunity to receive each Advent present for free only lasts for 48 hours! (The exception to this is the December 25 present, which will only be available for a single day.)


[h2]Pick Up What You Missed![/h2]
If you missed out on some daily Advent Calendar presents, obtain them with Holiday Ops resources later! You can do this any time from December 26 at 5:00 CET through January 8 at 7:00 CET (UTC+1) by spending 300 of any type of resource to get each unclaimed Advent Calendar present. The missed presents can be opened only in order, from the earliest to the latest. If you open all the doors, you will receive the December 25 present for free.
Bonus gifts for doors opened cannot be obtained after December 26 at 5:00 CET (UTC+1).
Holiday Ops festivities are about to start, offering a ton of presents. Remember to open your Advent Calendar gifts!
