Empires & Puzzles: Monster Island

Empires & Puzzles added a new kind of event this week, the Monster Island.  I only saw the last hour of it, but the bits that I saw were a lot of fun.  You get a big hex map with your team members on various hexes, and challenges on other hexes.  There were action point you can spend to move to a new hex or battle the mobs on a hex.  Each mob challenge cycles you through 20 monsters.  New ones appear as the old ones are beaten, so it's a bit of a surprise at first and a scramble to keep up.  They don't come in fixed waves and don't seem to get any harder throughout.  Some of them have pretty silly names, but it's a fresh variety.  Each mob challenge costs about 20 more action points than the previous challenge.

Judging from the chat comments, there were also titans on some of the hexes, but I did not see one. 

The event was over before I could really get into it, but boy the loot was numerous. Each mob challenge dropped a certain number of chests, and each chest has a loot table that got rolled up at the end of the event.

I look forward to seeing this one again.
