Ice Fortress HUD

During the Great Winter Hunt 2014, hunters built an Ice Fortress to defend the kingdom against invading mice, by using Ice Bricks obtained as loot while hunting with Arctic Asiago cheese. The fort is built in stages by clicking on the Build button of the Heads-up Display at the Festive Ice Fortress. The gameplay resembles the Snow Fort of the Great Winter Hunt 2013.

On the right side of the HUD, the hunter sees a current inventory count of Arctic Asiago (with the hint "Hunt with Arctic Asiago to catch mice that drop Tower Slabs and Ice Bricks!"), Ice Coins (with the hint "Gather Ice Coins to buy cool items from the shops!"), and Ice Bricks (with the hint "Use Ice Bricks to built and expand your Ice Fortress! Ice Fortress expansions will give you some sweet hunting upgrades!"), and a Build button. There is also an indicator at the top right of the HUD showing X/13 Fort Upgrades or Fort Complete.

Along the bottom of the Heads-up Display is a progress meter for each week's goal. During Week One (December 9 - 15), the hint was "This wave is assaulting your fortress! Build an Ice Tower and defeat Glacia Ice Fist!", with instructions "Collect Tower Slabs with Arctic Asiago to build your Ice Tower!". The remaining two weeks give a pop-up hint of "This wave hasn't been released yet. Stock up on Arctic Asiago while you can!". At the bottom left is a progress meter towards 20 Tower Slabs, needed to upgrade the Ice Tower.

Along the way through the event, additional messages are placed in the Hunter's Journal:

1st Stuck Snowball

I just caught a Stuck Snowball Mouse for the 1st time! Poor guy keeps rolling though, getting bigger and bigger, and amassing more and more loot.

I look forward to the next time I catch him!

Ice Fortress

The initial fortress has the following description:

Ice Fortress Framework
