It's an event where the prize is game-changing, such as a 50% energy regeneration speed boost, a 25% building upgrade time reduction, or a 75% building cash output increase. Essentially something that is a huge advantage if you get it and a huge disadvantage if you don't.
The event itself is called smelting. The tie-in to the game is loose and unsatisfying to those who like a plot, something along the lines of needing to gather resources to create a statue as a tribute to a general. The statue requires that a certain number of gold bars (purchsed from the store) must be smelted in order for it to be built. Your smelter can only smelt a certain number of gold bars per hour, but you can reset the counter by paying more gold. The smelter itself is a ground unit which must be purchased with an absurd number of gold bars. You have 3 days to smelt the statue, and if you manage to do so, you can get the bonus item by having your statue transported to the Capitol, which of course costs a few gold bars. After that you win the event and get the prize item, whose ability has a magnanimous effect on the game and has a few thousand attack and defense, making it an indispensable item that you simply can't compete without.
