Gunther, the son of an officer of the German army, has been sent by his father to the glider flying club which would form a regiment of fallschirmjager, also known as parachute hunters later in time. His unit, known as SS Fallschirmjager, is one of the elite troops in the German army, where he is the best in his unit. Gunther's facial expressions and gestures show his pride as a member of SS Fallschirmjager, where it has managed to outperform others. However, as the skies over the Reich become the turf of Allied aircraft, he was transferred to the eastern front, though this time without the parachute.


Karl a descendant of one of the prominent noble houses of old Germany, voluntarily joined the army and graduated from military academy with excellent records. His holier-than-thou attitude is hardly noticeable in his speech, but he believes deep in his heart the superiority of the Arians and is a perfectionist to the bone. Although less experienced than his peers, this dark horse has already made an impressive debut on the eastern front. Many expect that his career in the military will eventually bring him to the top ". Karl's looks may be deceiving, he may appear a thin man with a face that resembles that of a hawk, but he packs more muscle than one might expect.

This bonus can be very useful during the clashes, but by sea and by land players know they can rely also on Combat Pet, faithful allies but should not be judged for their tender and sweet. When these faithful friends prove indispensable. And now even more, since the new update of Florensia allows Combat Pet to learn new skill of attack, defense and care, is available in the Spirit of each city Manager NPCS. Information retrieval and the use of skill are available at the link http://florensia.alaplaya.net/pages/gamedata-pets-combatpets.


The ability of its Combat Pet will be very useful especially because demand back one of the challenges most appreciated by the players, the Harbor Occupation War.


This PvP Guild of 24 players can "Elite" for each deployment, all factions can participate and fight to conquer the ports of big cities Roxbury, Castle Hall, Glostern and Cherrytown. And just because it involves clashes between teams, to win you should not rely only on the powers of individual members of the Guild, but we must also develop a strategy to defend your base and hitting opponents. Individual achievements are marked on the map with the emblems and the names of guilds located at busy ports. Also a tower in the center of town is another symbol of the power that exists in that territory. But if these elements are the glory of the Guild, there is another reason to participate and conquer the harbor because the Guild that owns a port establishes taxes on prices of NPCS to earn Gelt. Once a day, are established the positions of the guilds that own score, then the one with the most points will have to play defense, marked with the green circle, while the team with a lower score, will be marked with a red circle, namely the position of attack.

It must be particularly careful about this element, because a team loses a match if his Guard is destroyed. However in case of attack on a Guard, the team is alerted that a warning appears on the screen.


In addition, each Guild gets initially 1000 Guild Ranking points (GRP) that can be incremented, winning the match. The placement of a Guild in the ranking at the end of the match is determined by the GRP total, calculated on the basis of the collected victories and defeats. The 10 best guilds will be listed by HOW War Manager NPCs.
