The way we measure the days and years is defined by the cycles of the Sun and Moon. But a lunar year, that spans 12 moon cycles, and a solar year, that features all seasons, do not have the same length. This eventually caused problems in 1582...
Dear Kings and Queens,
As you may have heard before, we have another historical quest line coming up! This time we will tell you some facts from the history of... time. Why do we have leap years? Why are there ten days missing from the year 1582 calendar? How did it happen and how does this affect our lives nowadays?
Starting 25th of February you will be able to go through a quest line that will give you answers on all these questions above (and more!).
If you manage to complete all the quests on time (3rd of March), you will get a unique portrait of Gregory XIII, the man behind our modern calendar (and some other small goodies, like for example a renovation kit).
Enjoy!
Every four years, February is a day longer than usual. Where does it come from? Follow the questline and find out!
Yours,
Forge of Empires Team
