Clash of the Titans Clash of the Titans was an event organised by Workshop in Season 4 pitting 6 towns of 40 Hero Heroes all of the same hero class against each other. It was the first community event in the history of Die2Nite officially supported by MotionTwin and intended to be continued (likely because it stimulates the players to buy hero days for participation). Being a hero of the correct profession for the duration of the town was an absolute requirement.

Notably, to facilitate setting up the initial composition, Epoq, the acting administrator of Die2Nite among other MT games, had prematurely implemented the mechanic of Private Towns Private Towns that had not seen other uses yet (due to the lack of players who have the Architect Architect skill unlocked). To aid with score accounting and town comparisons, SinSniper had set up a special extension to Oval Office.

Initially, there was a form where players could express their interest in the event. After MotionTwin had let the community know of their support and have issued a promotional announcement, the players had flocked to sign up officially. The way it was handled, a portion of players has been left out simply not being around to reserve a spot on time.

Even though Workshop had been organising the overall event, every town was managed by certain players before the start, dubbed town founders.

After the start, there were several video logs made by CrossKnights, Lerajie, Quent, UnluckyOrpheus, and LilMarie among others.

Incidents

In the course of the event, several incidents had occurred.

• Eaters of Worms have had a player who did not meet the requirements on the first day and been shot in the head. Because of being one player short, the private town mechanic had blocked the whole town from going out to scavenge. It took most of the day until Epoq could manually add R3DD3R as a replacement. As it had turned out in the end, losing a day of scavenging didn't affect the town's result.
• Barricaded Hill of Thumb-Twiddlers had seen one death by unknown reason, Melchevik, his account being closed while still in town.
• One of the tamers in The Goody-Goodies of Nobody Cares had ran out of hero days. To avoid them being shot in the head, the rest of the town had been supplying the fellow citizen with hero days by the means of Brothers in Arms Brothers in Arms.
