Guilds/Amigos/Tokens and how they work

Tokens (for us Tokens of Hyksos) can be pick up from Great Hall at Avaris under Supplies option. They spawn 1 every hour from the moment Tale 9 is released. There is a cooldown of 2h +1h for every token pickup. Everyone can pick up max 17 tokens per week, Tribute post reset also clears that. In first week Hyksos will get 168 Tokens and with every passing week spawn will slow down. Tokens are used to:

• gain control of the regions (1 required in first week, gaining control enables faction chat),
• build Chancery (10 required, project can be started by Faction Elder which Hyksos should have have in 4-5th day. Chancery enables faction chat no matter who controls province),
• and to defend or take over region on the weekly basis. The Day of Tribute is on Calendar.

Every time when visiting Avaris please check Great Hall, we will need every token we can get. Tokens can be donated only to regions which border other Hyksos region.

Owning region give access to Universities which is quite important for two reasons:

• with each additional University, cost of the research is approx 10% less in this type of University (with thousands resources needed 10% is really a lot)
• UWorship give veggie seeds, more we own more chances we have to get whole sets.

In the spirit of cooperation through the Egypt its very likely some regions will be changing ownership. We would want everyone to have chance to find extra seeds at UWorship or capitalize on research discount on some very hard technologies.

Also, reason to control regions is to take advantage of additional bonus like:

• flax yield is increased
• vegetables yield is increased
• wood yield is increased
• mining yield increased by 10%

and many others. Three main faction regions, for Hyksos that's Bernike, Red Sea and Upper Egypt, never get additional bonuses.
