A daily quest race. During the event ONE quest is presented each day; its title is shown in advance but details are hidden -- however you can complete it during the hidden stage by acting on the pre-revealed title. Scoring/ranking is SPEED-based: the sooner you complete the day's quest after it starts (~server reset, often ~1 hour after per DST), the higher your daily-ranking placement. Each quest has its own leaderboard. Ranking gives Horus Gold Coins (redeemed in the event shop for rare items: Meteoric Stone, Epic Historic General (Premium), Narses); coins do NOT expire. FREE-to-participate (paid packages just add coins). The quests are ordinary bot actions: Cultivate Generals (10/20/100 tiers), Refine Equipment (15/25/40), Increase troop power (50,000/100,000/150,000), Tax resources (10/15/20 times), Levy Gold (15/20/25), Offer at Shrine (3/5/10), Help Alliance members (10/20/30). Because you know the day's requirement ahead of time, the winning play is to have runestones/tributes/gold/gathered power ready and complete instantly at reset. Note the per-quest countdown -- once it ends the quest can't be completed. For a bot, time base_dev/training/daily-collect actions to land exactly at the daily quest start (pre-stage tributes for shrine offers, gold for levy, generals to cultivate).
