01 The territory game
The whole season map is one long road-building exercise. Alliances start at the edges, take Military Strongholds, connect their territory, and climb through increasingly valuable cities toward the center — the City of Apocalypse. Every capture is a step toward that center. Don't get trapped in the corners. Strategic Advantage
// When it opens
Military Strongholds become available around Week 1, Day 2, and Level 1 cities around Week 1, Day 3. Current Season Structure This reflects the current documented Season 1 structure — always defer to the countdown and unlock conditions shown in your own event interface, since rollout can shift by server.
02 The squad counter triangle
Every fight on the map runs on one rule: Tank beats Missile, Missile beats Air, Air beats Tank. Game Rule Bring the counter to what you're hitting and an even-power fight becomes a one-sided one. Send the wrong type and raw power won't save you.
03 How a city falls
// THE CAPTURE SEQUENCE
City wars are a race of speed and numbers. The sequence is the same every time, and timing the mud is the whole game:
Surround the city at the chosen time and stay close together.
One rally is the battering ram — launched by the 5 (or 10) strongest players.
When the rally enters the Contaminated Zone (the mud), send Squad 1 in to strike the city immediately. Respect this timing — it's the moment the whole capture hinges on.
If the enemy defends: repeat — rally plus synchronized T1 attacks.
Once the city is empty: send everything to break the city's durability.
If you're defending your own city: continuous reinforcement, without gaps.
// Healing in the capture
Heal in small batches — roughly 300–350 troops per hit — and spam the help button so alliance help closes each heal in seconds. Commander's Practice It keeps squads in the fight at almost no speedup cost.
04 Durability tech and the rules of engagement
Upgrade City Durability tech before city wars begin — it's essential, not optional. With durability maxed and 50 players hitting together, even a stronger city can fall in seconds before reinforcements arrive. Strategic Advantage
- Only 2 actions per day on Strongholds — plan carefully and rotate captures to reset protection. Current Season Structure
- From Week 4 Day 3 (Wednesday), war days cap you at 2 cities per day. Verify In-Game
- Priority target: control 3 Strongholds near a Level 3 village.
05 Cross-server cooperation
Holding cities is a coalition problem, not a solo one. Allies both inside and outside your server are what let you hold ground. Strategic Advantage Favor less-invaded servers — they're easier to exploit even when strong — and plan placements and captures during enemy downtime, when there's no one awake to contest them.
