Gamemaster  

The in-game symbolic presence of Imperia Online administration appearing as a source of a system message. Gamemaster's messages contain official announcements on behalf of Imperia Online team regarding upcoming events, news or successful diamond purchases. They are received in orange envelopes and are saved in System tab of Messages menu, labeled Gamemaster.

NB! Do not confuse real Gamemaster system messages with random ill-intentioned messages sent by a regular player with a name similar to gamemaster, admin, administration, Imperia Online etc, received in a green envelope and located in the Private message's inbox, aiming to obtain personal information, such as your password, or mislead the players encouraging them to send dubious sms about non-existing diamonds. Always bear in mind that Imperia Online will neither ask you for personal data nor lead diamond purchase propaganda via private message.

Imperia Online team recommends immediately reporting all malicious messages of that kind and commits to permanently block the ill-intentioned users responsible for them.

Garrison  

Garrison determines the number of troops that can be stationed inside your Fortress. Any non-Garrisoned troops in the Holding will meet the enemy in Field Battle if the Holding comes under attack.

The size of your Garrison equals the Fortress level's Base Garrison plus any enhancement from the Military Architecture Technology or the Garrison Tactician General Skill.

Troops stationed in the Garrison do not incur Upkeep and are unaffected by Morale loss during Fortress Siege. Archer units have their Attack greatly enhanced when Garrisoned. Siege Engines occupy Garrison slots equal to their Operating Crew.

During battle Garrisoned troops are only deployed in two Battle Lines: Frontline and Artillery Line. The Garrison Frontline has no Divisions and it's composed of all Garrisoned Cavalry and Infantry.

During Fortress Assault Garrisoned troops can only be attacked by enemy Archers and suffer only 20% of their Attack. Enemy Archers prioritize the Garrison Frontline over the Garrison Artillery Line.

During Fortress Assault only Garrisoned Archers and Artillery can attack the enemy.

Glory Ranking  

Ranking in the game, which reflects the military achievements of the alliances. It focuses on the alliance wars and is based on points of Glory. Glory points are received after each war, depending on the performance of the alliances. They are calculated by a formula based on the net points of the members of the fighting alliances and the military points made for the specific war. The more successful the war, the more glory points the winner will receive, but if the victorious alliance significantly exceeds the net points of the losing alliance, the Glory points it would gain would be less than if it defeats an equal or stronger opponent.
The defeated alliance receives glory points equal to 20% of the glory points of the winning alliance, only if the military points of the defeated alliance for the specific war are at least 50% of the military points made by the winning alliance. If this condition is not met, then the defeated alliance does not receive glory points.
The ranking is available in menu Battles and influence, menu Wars - there is a Weekly and General ranking.
In the Weekly ranking, all wars that ended during the current week bring glory points to the victorious alliance. If a war has started in the current week but ends in the following week, the points are reflected for the week in which the war ended. Glory points get reset at the beginning of each week. The top 4 alliances in the Weekly ranking are being awarded with expiring diamonds and hourly resources income.
After the end of each war during the season, the Glory points earned by each alliance accumulate in the General Rankings. After the end of the season, the first 3 alliance win special medals Conqueror and points for Hall of Fame.
