Commission Quest

Basic Information
A commission quest is a type of quest issued by a player who is colonized and is trying to gain freedom for their city. Players who accept and complete the quest are awarded game cents.

For a player to free themselves through a commission quest, they must first go to the "Quests" tab. They must then select "Commission Quests" and then "Issue Commission Quest". The game will then ask for a minimum number of game cents to issue the quest. This minimum amount will be 15 cents or higher, based on the level of the city, and the player may use more than the minimum amount.

Once the commission quest is issued, it will appear in the "Commission Quest" window of every player on the server, and will remain there for three hours. These players may choose to accept the quest, and if they do, will choose a number of their troops to send to the colonized city. These troops arrive instantly. When one hour remains in the quest, no new players may enter the quest, but the ones who are already in may send more troops.

Adding Troops
The purpose of adding troops to the quest is to ensure that the quest will be awarded to them. By adding troops to the quest, the "experience" of the army is raised. The number of troops and the type of troops affect how much experienced is gained by using them. (Ex: One warrior = 350 experience, but one ballista = 10,000). Only the army that has the highest total experience will fight suzerain's troops that are camping in the city, and will have the chance to win the cents.

To add troops on to the original amount a player sends, they must click the "Add Troops" button at the bottom of the window for the quest they are working on.

Winning or Losing the Commission Quest
If a player's army does not have as high experience as another player's army who is fighting for the same quest, they will lose the quest. When the three hour period is over, players in this situation will have their troops hike back from the city, and no losses will occur.

If a player's army does have the highest experience out of all the players who entered, they will be chosen to fight the troops the suzerain has in its colony. If the anti-colonization troops fail to beat the suzerain's army, no cents will be awarded. The colonized player will remain colonized. Any remaining troops from the anti-colonization army will return to the city they came from. However, if the anti-colonization army does manage to beat the suzerain's army, the cents originally spent to issue the quest will be transferred to the winning player. Their troops will then hike back to their city. The colonized city will also be free from their suzerain.
