Tankers! With the morning restart on August 9th a new update will be released in the game with fixes for Matchmaking and several changes to PRO-battles. Let’s go over them. Reporting violators in battles via the context menu It will become much easier to report players in battle. All you need to do is to click on the nickname and choose the correct point in the contextual menu. If the player is reported by at least 15% of all players in battle, the report will be sent to battle moderators. This mechanic is much simpler and more intuitive, than typing “/vote” in the chat. Player named battles in PRO Long ago in Tanki Online you could give names to battles you create. Later the option was removed, but we remember, how much did you like coming up with creative names for your battles, and decided to return the feature to the game. Show that creativity in named battles! IMPORTANT: battle names will be moderated, and authors of the names that violate Game Rules will be banned. And if you get banned, you won’t be able to make any more battles. Gifts for Friends only More and more we get reports on players that abuse the gifts and send to non-friends gifts with unacceptable content. That’s why after server restart on August 9th you will be able to send gifts only to friends. We will later also add the option to send gifts to clan members. Notification about waiting time in Matchmaking With the release we will add to the game a new notification when the limit of time waiting for the match in Matchmaking will be exceeded. The system will suggest you to press on the “Play” button again to restart the search. Matchmaking versions of maps coming to PRO As promised, we’re adding matchmaking maps to the list of arenas in PRO battles. Do you like a specific map and want to play on it with friends? Now it’s possible with PRO battles! Final score table The final statistics when the battle ends will be now shown for 30 seconds instead of 15. This was done so you have enough time to check the results of the battle and make a screenshot. -- Follow the news, as these are not the only updates coming to Tanki this week!

Tankers, the War is over! The global event “War: Domination” has culminated in the Lion’s victory! Second place was taken by the Bears with 207 points, and the third by the Wolves with 201 points. The War lasted for 10 turns. In the beginning the territories were captured in unison, but oh what drama was waiting around the corner!… After the first regional fights Bears seized the leadership, and Lions moved to the third position. Nobody was taking them seriously, which proved to be a fatal mistake in the end. Next came 2 more turns, during which Lions have captured the first place and rushed to victory. Astonishing play! We congratulate the Lions faction with victory! You’ve performed a colossal task and showed a truly united and powerful team play. 20 containers were already added to the winners’ accounts, and the animated paint will be given out in the next 48 hours. We remind you, that the necessary requirement to get the rewards was to complete 6 turns or more during the event. But that’s not all of the gifts! The best players chosen by the number of stars earned during the event will get a unique Legacy set of skins for Viking and Thunder. There are 30 tankers like this -- 10 from each faction. With these skins your tank will look exactly like the old Tanki graphics from 2012. NOTE: Legacy skins for Top-10 players of each faction will be sent within 48 hours. Find the full lists of Top-10 players for each faction below.

Good luck :)

Somebody voted for Kungur on Turn 5 :ph34r:

I'll translate the designers, since it appears to be that points mechanic was the same for all the War: "The points are given for territories you have seen under your faction's control in the previous turn".

So the answer I got is don't exclude lost territories from the results of that turn.

Thank you guys, waiting for the response on the matter.

Thank you for the report, will pass for a double check-up of the results.

As far as I know -- yes. Is there inconsistency?

Here’re the results: Bears -- 177 points; Lions -- 189 points; Wolves -- 141 points. Also, three enclaves have been formed on the map. Berlin and Valley, owned by the Bears, are now completely surrounded by enemy territories. Kolhoz, which is held by Wolves, has also separated from other territories of the faction. What are your predictions for the current turn? Will the Lions continue their regional domination? Will the Bears repel the invaders and seize the leadership once again? And will the Wolves summon all their strength for the best comeback in War history? Let’s find out! Play in the War, discuss victory strategies and earn stars -- War is fun!

War rages on!

That was a joke in poor taste. It's just a territory to start from.

I personally have not met Bruce, but everyone remembers him fondly, and, sometimes, certain hip-hops tracks are passed around.

Yes, will go up soon.

I don't think so. It does raise a storm of opinions though, good for discussion.
