ALLIANCE WARS

- Gain Alliance War Score points by: killing or wounding enemy units at Capitals/Bastions/Seats of Power and conquering/occupying or devastating these objects

- For any Capital, Bastion or Bastion Capital [adjacent to the Bastion], the owner receives the War Score for incapacitated units immediately

- The generated War Score for the attacker is stored in the Capital and received on successful contest, along with the base score for the structure itself

- For neutral Capitals and Seats of Power, the War Score for incapacitated units is received by both sides immediately (note that no War is required to fight at the Seats of Power, but War Score could still be earned if you are fighting there with the enemy)

- Gain Personal War Score points based on your army might contribution to a Rally/Reinforcement when an Alliance battle occurs and gain a brand new Avatar Frame

- Each conquered/occupied Capital will trigger a small negative Army Offense bonus in Capital battles against the same Alliance, so don`t overstretch your ambitions

- Signing a Truce will immediately reward all eligible members of the Alliance with War Chest based on the Alliance War Score

OCCUPY A CAPITAL

- Enemy Capitals can now be “occupied” during Alliance Wars, granting the controlling Alliance a temporary, partial control of the enemy region and all its benefits (occupying enemy Capitals can bypass the general limit of 20 owned Capitals)

- Bastion now has a rebuild cooldown, which starts after initiating the process (following a de-spawn). Be wise when you decide where to place it next

- Only after a Bastion has been conquered the attackers can storm its adjacent Capital and trigger a series of short skirmish battles in order to conquer/ravage or occupy the Capital

- As a last chance, the defending Alliance could try to recover the conquered Bastion in order to interrupt any ongoing conquest on the adjacent Capital
