Description

The SvS (Server vs Server, State vs State) is an event that involves a battle between two states. It consists of three official phases, each of which may have its own sub-phases.

  1. Matchmaking - in this phase, pairs of states are matched. It's automatic process and players can only wait for the results.
  2. Preparation - consists of five stages and is crucial to the overall event. Each stage lasts 24 hours and has its own objectives, the completion of which awards players points. Individual player points contribute to the overall state score. After the fifth day of competition, the state with the most points wins. Winning this phase is crucial because the Battle of Sun Castle from Phase 3 takes place on the territory of the state that lost Phase 2.
  3. Battle - this day can be divided into three stages. The first begins at 10:00 AM and lasts until 11:00 or 12:00 PM (unless the presidents have agreed otherwise). Players can freely travel between competing states (an advanced teleporter is required). Players from rival state can attack each other freely (usually only solo attacks are allowed). Technically, attacks between alliances belonging to the same state are possible, but they are usually strictly prohibited and severely punished. The second stage of this phase is the Battle for the Sun Castle – it resembles a regular Castle Battle and lasts from 12:00 to 17:00. Remember not to attack the Castle when a representative of your state is occupying it – technically, it is allowed, but it is pointless and may be considered treason. If you want to earn points in such a situation, it is better to focus on attacking the Towers. The state whose alliance wins the battle automatically wins the event. If the defending side wins the battle, nothing happens. However, if the attacking nation wins, the defending state passes under the rule of the president from the alliance that won the Battle for the Sun Castle for two weeks. He can rule both states on equal terms, but can also impose penalties on selected individuals or groups. This stage is followed by the final, third stage, identical to stage 1. It lasts from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM and involves free-for-all combat between players from competing states. It has no impact on the overall event result but can help improve your personal/alliance rankings. If you are not interested in fighting during any part of the event (or the entire event), activate the city shield and use it for as long as you want to be safe.
  4. We can say there is also fourth phase of the event - the Field Triage. It lets you recover up to 90% of the permenently lost units. All players who have suffered losses can send a request for help in reviving their fallen soldiers. They can revieve 40% on their own buying Revieval Potion. Rest units can be restored with alliance members assistance. Every member of the alliance receives 20 Rebirth Tomes. Everyone decides to whom and how many tomes they will donate. You can receive up to 50 tomes, what combined with 40% from previous step gives you up to 90% revieval rate. Please note - if you lost your units during attacking, you will permenently lose at least 10% of your died units. But if your units were killed during city defence, you are able to restore 70% of them in Enlistment Office. Then you can reviev 90% of the remaining 30% of total loss. With example - you lost 100k units during attacks, you can reviev 90k; you lost 100k during defence - you can restore 70k with Enlistment Office and 27k during Field Triage.

Tips and proposed plan

Before the event begins, it's important to prepare. Presidents ask for important resources and items to be saved weeks before the event. Below is a list of items that will be useful in preparation phase:

For battle phase please collect some advanced teleporters to travel between states, and shields to take a rest between bloody fights. As additional, useful equipment, you can collect all the bonuses that help in combat.

Each day of preparation phase has it's own activities. There is a proposed schedule below. Presidents usually boost states with building, training and researching speed bonuses - please find information about the schedule on your server to make a best plan to use your speed ups.

Day 1

Tips:

Please wait for President skill (+10% construction speed) to be activated. You can start gathering to make resource gatherers returning just after midnight - it will be a easy points gain in the beginning of day two.

Day 2

Optional resources:

Tips:

Wait for President skill (+10% research speed) to be activated. Do not hunt or call rallies for points in Beast Hunting event. You should keep all your collected stamina cans for day 3. Please save Pet upgrades for the last day. You can apply for the Education Minister position in the evening or on the morning of the third day (depending on the maximum length of your training queue). Once the position is activated, use the +200% bonus to your unit training capacity. This will allow you to earn easy points on day 4.

Day 3

Recommended resources:

Optional resources:

Tips:

Kill a level 26+ beast (10 stamina = 12000 points)
Call a rally for polar terror (25 stamina = 30000 points)
Avoid hitting lower level beasts as they give you less points. Joining rallies doesn't give you points.

Please save Pet upgrades for the last day.

Day 4

Please wait for President skills to be activated first

Please save Pet upgrades, Hero essence stones, hero widgets, chief gear & remaining speedups (research & construction) for the last day
