Territory – an important one

Bonus overview:

You can see at the top the resources owned by your alliance. These resources allow you to do your alliance’s research. To win some resources, you need to put banners on territory resource locations; we will see that in the banner part.

As shown in the middle of the big screen, if your city is placed within your territory, you will see the Territory bonus stats when clicking on ‘bonus stats’ at the bottom of the screen. So, it is very important to place your city in your territory.

Territory buildings:

HQ (Icefield) is the first headquarters you can build at the beginning. This is the main point of your territory.

HQ (Tundra) is the second and last headquarters you will be able to build. When you do the research concerning it, you will be able to build it in the tundra land, covered by the fog, and unlocked at some point in the server.

How to construct a banner?

You can click on any case from the world > build > banner.

Banner perimeter:

The banner perimeter covers a square of 7×7 cells around the banner

Requirement: The banner perimeter needs to collide with another banner perimeter to enlarge your alliance perimeter.

PVP tips:

Your friendly banner can overlap with enemies ones, allowing them to bypass your territory limit.  Though you can avoid this by correctly placing your banner.

How to obtain resources for your alliance? (different from your own resources)

Your alliance automatically gathers resources every real-time hour. -> you don’t need to gather them manually as for the player resources sites.

There are alliance resources located on the map that you can see by ticking the resources filter top left corner + zooming out enough on your map

Requirement: an alliance resource location needs to be covered at 75% by your territory (territory expanded by building banners).

Tips: try to at least maintain the same ratio of meat/wood resources. Useless to get 150k wood per hour and 50k meat per hour; you’ll be blocked by the wood, for example. Also, try to have a good ratio of coal and iron.

How to Pick HQ

You can get Alliance Iron Mine before the fog is lifted by placing the banner properly at the border of the Tundra.

That makes it easy to pick HQ. Just pick somewhere close to Tundra, basically somewhere near the blue line in the picture above.

STEP 1: Search for the alliance iron mine near the blue line within your banner’s reach. You may need to use the alliance marker for help since zooming in and out is not optimal during Territory Building.

STEP 2: Draw a line and mark the Alliance iron mine on the map

STEP 3: Zoom out to determine whether the spot surrounds potential buildings ( like Facilities ). Build your Alliance HQ in the middle and then build banners towards facilities and the Alliance iron mine later.
Note: You don’t need to path toward Fortress, you can position the HQ within a good distance to Fortresses, so you do not always have to teleport and simply rally from the hive depending on your State.

STEP 4: Have a rough draft of which facility building you wanna take.

A Reference for the State Map:

• Facilities Locations:

Step 5: Time to build! Try your best to have as many alliance resources as possible while pathing towards other facilities. This planning is hard. Stay Strong!

Path Towards Alliance Iron Mine. You will need it for alliance technology. If you don’t stock it earlier, your alliance tech will be stuck for 2-3 days.

Priority for Alliance Tech：Growth (Alliance Regiminatation) > Territory（Tactical Expansion + Storehouse Expansion) > Battle (Rally Expansion)

Building HQ and Bear: ( You do not need Alliance Resources when you relocate the Headquarters )

• Icefield HQ does not require Alliance Resources.
• Both Bear Traps needs the same amount of resources, which are:

50k Meat

50k Wood

10k Coal

1k Iron

• Alliance Resources needed for Tundra HQ:

700k meat

700k wood

400k coal

200k iron

If you’re a Top 5 Alliance, I do recommend you place your new HQ near one of the strongholds. The benefits will be listed as follows

• Higher resources nodes (lvl. 6-8)
• Less march time to Strongholds, Fortresses, and Level 3/4 Facilities, which means you can save a lot of advanced teleports for your alliance.
• Usually, there will be more Alliance iron mines near the strongholds.

Note: If your Alliance is not Strong, move slowly and especially after the other alliances have made their decision, so you won’t engage in fights for Facilities and Territories too early.

The ideal ratio for wood, meat, coal and iron will be 4:4:2:1 Please place your banners properly for those alliance resources. If you cannot organize it properly, you will end up like us hoarding too many irons…while waiting for other rss.

After settling down your HQ, you need to dismantle the Hunting Trap and rebuild it near the new HQ or in a position that will keep your members within 1-2 Mins march time for Crazy Joe. Make sure you have enough resources and time to do this! So you won’t ruin the event day.

The position of placing a bear trap is also important. I do recommend you drop it somewhere with fewer alliance resources and far away from mountains, so the place will be neat and clean for your alliance members.

The best position to settle your alliance members is to have the best players close to Bear Trap to save the rally time. But usually, it’s really hard to organize all the members to port to the designated place. They pick a place randomly!

Secured Alliance Gathering Nodes:

Gathering squads can collect Secured Resources directly from Secured Alliance Gathering Nodes quickly without the threat of attacks. It is perfect to gather them during the Brothers in Arms event.
Only 1 secured alliance gathering node can be placed at a time!

Clearance Tool:

• Alliance Bomb: It can be placed within alliance territory to clear unused Resource Nodes, Beasts, and Polar Terrors from the blast radius. Keep in mind that Alliance Resources cannot be cleared using this tool.

Tips for Banner Building:

• Alliance Building Guidelines:
  • Strongholds and Fortresses do not need a banner connected to them.
  • Alliance farms only need to be occupied by 75% of your territory to be claimed by your Alliance. Alliance Resources are 4 Tiles, so you just need 3/4 to claim it.
  • Facilities have to be connected with your Alliance Banner to be occupied.
  • Alliance Farms do not have levels, but resource nodes do. If you zoom out of the Map and switch to Resources (Top left side), you will see different colours, which are those in the picture below
