What is the Gold Rush event in Road to Valor: Empires' latest update?
The Gold Rush in Road to Valor: Empires is an eight-day in-game event where players have the opportunity to win extra gold coins in one-on-one [1:1] battles by simply destroying the enemy towers. Players will be granted 200 Gold coins for every enemy tower they destroy in a battle and 600 Gold coins for destroying all three enemy towers in the game.
The start date of the event was notably on 3rd April, the same day the update was rolled out. The Gold Rush event is scheduled to continue till 10th April. The developers said that there are a total of 20,000 gold coins up for grabs through this in-game event.
Gold is an in-game currency that allows you to level up your garrison. When you enter into a battle and essentially win with your deck featuring a Guardian, you are awarded trophies (works like rank points) and gold coins. The amount of gold coins does not remain constant and it keeps changing as you gain levels or according to the battle that you recently fought.
