War Herald, Issue #2

Tankers!

 

We see a lot of excitement around the event, and even more questions about how it works. This is the first time we are making such a massive event, and today we will share with you how the War will be played, answer questions about the Battle phase, rewards and more.

 

To remind you, the War is played in a turn-based format, where each turn lasts for 48 hours and consists of 2 phases — Strategy phase, and Battle phase.

 

 

 

Let’s recap the Strategy phase and its key moments:

 

• Strategy phase is on for 24 hours;
• During this phase, you need to vote for 2 territories to be attacked, and for 1 territory to be defended on a special site for the event;
• You confirm your vote by destroying 200 enemy tanks or more during the Strategy phase (within 24 hours after the turn starts);
• Important! If you don’t confirm your vote by making 200 kills, both your vote and the kills you make during the next phase will NOT be counted.

 

NOTE: You can play and destroy enemy tanks while wearing any paint, but you need to buy the faction paint once to be counted among the ranks of that faction.

 

After the Strategy phase comes time for action — the Battle phase!

 

Battle phase. The Rules

 

When Strategy phase ends and your faction has chosen which territories to attack and what territory to defend, players will receive battle missions. There are 2 kinds of battle missions:

 

The «Breach» scenario is applied when:

• You need to capture neutral, unclaimed territories
• You need to capture undefended territories of the enemy

 

In this scenario you need to make a certain number of kills together, as a faction. The specific number of required kills is calculated based on what region is the target, and how active your faction was during the Strategy phase. If you complete the missions, that territory will belong to you now.

 

The «Destruction» scenario is applied when:

• You need to attack a defended enemy territory 
• You need to attack the same enemy territory with several factions

 

In this scenario one or more factions attack the same territory, or several factions battle for the territory that is defended by another faction. Among the attacking factions one will be chosen based on the highest average K/D, and that faction will capture the region.

 

 

 

 

K/D for the faction is calculated from the overall number of kills and deaths of all players for that faction, who completed and voted in Strategy phase and played during the 24 hours of the Battle phase.

 

Resources. The Rules

 

In the first issue of the War Herald we’ve shared that you need to collect resources to win. Each turn factions will get 1 point of each resource from their Capitals.

 

 

 

On the global map you will find regions with Survey Data Centers and Rocket Fuel Factories, capturing them will earn you one of the resources every turn. The income from the regions of the same type will be summarized. For example, a Capital, 2 Rocket Fuel Factories and 1 Survey Data Center will earn you 3 points of Rocket Fuel, and 2 points of Survey Data. To earn the resource you need to capture that type of region and hold it for 1 full turn.

 

 

 

Capitals can also be captured. If you lose your Capital, it will begin to earn resources for your enemies.

Not necessarily. Players can complete any number of turns, and you can skip turns, but remember that the size of your prize depends on the number of completed turns.

No. The winning faction will receive a unique paint, and it will remain until the next War, which we will talk about later.

Some territories on the global map have a one-time bonus for the faction that captures it first. What rewards are given for capturing them we will announce in the next issue of the War Herald. The rewards will be given out after the War has ended.

 

Can I participate in the War from multiple accounts?

Yes.

 

How to log in to the special site for the War, if I don’t have the password for my account (for example, I play on Facebook or on Steam)?

If you’re playing Tanki on Facebook, you will be able to log in using Facebook, and for Steam and other partner services please contact the support to attach email and set password.

 

Do we have to make the kills on some special maps?

No, it can be any map and in any mode, using any weapons and any paint. The only requirements are: you need to purchase any faction paint first, and play in non-PRO.

 

How to know if I completed the kills goal?

On the special site there won’t be a specific number of kills counter, like X/200, but you will be able to check if you have made enough kills or not. During Battle phase, the global goal for kills is given to the whole faction, and you will see a special indicator on the site.

 

Where do the factions start on the global map?

Each faction starts from the location, where its Capital is based.

 

What happens to the faction that loses its Capital?

It will continue to play in the War, but the resources from the Capital will now go to the enemy faction that captured it.

You won’t contribute nor harm your faction, and what happens to prizes if your faction wins we will share in the next issue of the War Herald.

 

What happens, if you vote during the Strategy phase, but don’t make 200 kills in the same day?

Your vote and battle results will not be counted in the Battle phase.

 

Do I need to make 200 kills before or after the voting?

Doesn’t matter, as long as 200 kills are made same day until the Strategy phase ends.

 

Will tank kills count if they are not in faction paints?

Yes, your own gear and the gear of your enemy do not affect the kills.

 

What will happen, if I destroy tanks of my own faction?

Both your kills and the deaths of your teammates will be counted in the overall statistics in both phases, canceling each other out.

1st , Nicely explained. 

However 1 question:

"To earn the resource you need to capture that type of region and hold it for 1 full turn."

1 full turn means strategy and destruction/breach phase or only one of each.

When are the paints coming out?

[Mr.Eswar 188]

complicated but 200kills?? damm that's time taking process

[Apex_Predator 537]

I don't know why but this is no less then Rocket science :P

i totally agree, i'm gonna pass this event, especially for the fact that we won't get to keep paints.  -_- 

[Bydo 20,119]

Yeah, now I totally understand this :wacko: Can someone explain in a easier way ._.?

you remember when we did the kills per certain amounts and got prizes .

well its going to be similar to this but with a twist , when you go into a certain map you have to collect items .

this is what I understand from the ones I have read.

 

In this scenario you need to make a certain number of kills together, as a faction. The specific number of required kills is calculated based on what region is the target, and how active your faction was during the Strategy phase. If you complete the missions, that territory will belong to you now.

 

The «Destruction» scenario is applied when:

• You need to attack a defended enemy territory 
• You need to attack the same enemy territory with several factions

 

 

the only concern I have is the 24 hours , will this be calculated when you battled over the duration of the event or do we need to be on the full 24 hours to get our rewards. which in away makes no sense if we have to be on the full 24 hours , no one can be on . this would be hard to do. I hope this is calculated for when we join and is added with kills in mind

What will happen if a player does not vote, but plays in the battle phase.

Will he be given prizes, if the mission is completed?

[Aigaion 636]

Yeah, now I totally understand this :wacko: Can someone explain in a easier way ._.?

Basically, when the WAR site is launched, register then get the paint to join the faction. after that it works like a board game, you have your capital area. you attack two areas and defend one, in the begging this will be easy because the factions will be spread out, so theirs no one defending, but when time progresses one faction will want too attack an area and so will another, that territory will go to the team with the highest KD of all the players who have voted to attack that zone (EX, Poland wants to attack Rio, and so does Germany, lets say 100 people have voted on both sides to attack rio, your KD will be measured over that 24h turn, Germany manages a total sum of 1.84, Poland does 1.49, Rio will go to Germany, its the same with  defending) however, the point of attacking territories is that some of them will have special supplies which your faction must gather to win. LETS GO USA!!!! and england

I think no. You don't make 200 kills during Strategy phase, you're out this round.

But TO, why 200 kills? I don't have time to play Tanki 2 hours every second day... Why isn't it less? Please make it 50 kills! Thanks

[TaffyTank 1,890]

Seems like having to earn 200 kills is considered as the anti-mult feature of Tanki Wars. As if you don't get that amount of kills, your contribution doesn't count. Getting 200 kills is not that hard to do. Anyone could use any vaguely decent alt account in most DM battles to get 200 kills in an hour....or 50 kills each in 4 battles, It's really easy if that alt account happens to have tons of saved drugs. Once those 200 kills are done, that alt is then free to mult against a target community.

 

My recommendation.......if a player uses their alt account to mult a community D/L....or if they get a terrible DL that's in the bottom 20% of their community, increase the number of kills they have to get in the next voting round, so they have to get 300 kills to vote and be able to compete for the next map section. And if they do that, then mult again = increase it to 400...and so on.

 

Frankly, anyone committed enough to overcome this deserves to win.

 

BTW, being able to compete without wearing the community paint is excellent....some genius guy must have thought of that idea. Well done to him/her.

If Tanki can do that, I will delete my Skyrim and World Of Tanks accounts, and play TO for whole day. :lol:
