How in-game events can boost your monetisation, retention and gameplay variety
summary
Events run on a weekly cadence using an external event system separate from the client so parameters change live; one Fortification Frenzy shows two clear lumber dips on the economy graph, prompting in-event production boosts. Monthly prize mechanics use dragon fragments earned from events or the armory gacha, and seasonal rewards give top-100 teams monuments and top-team custom statues. Experiments with back-to-back major events reduce revenue and increase player burnout, so a mix of minor and major events becomes the operating model.
