State 598 Capital Clash!

State 598, prepare yourselves! This is the biggest event yet. The rewards are massive; the action is intense. Participation is highly recommended because this is our first Capital Clash!

For those of you who have never experienced it, there are two types of Capital Clashes you need to know about:

1. ​Inner-State Clash: An internal battle for leadership within our own state (This is what we are doing tomorrow!).

​2. State War (SVS) Clash: A massive war where we fight against a different state.

To ensure unity and strength, the Top 10 Alliances have agreed on a Non-Aggression Pact (NAP). During the Capital Clash we maintain NAP, but we will simulate the chaos of a State War, so we know what to expect if ever we are being invaded. 

Rules of Engagement

The main goal during a Capital Clash is to occupy the capital of the enemy state. Since NAP includes a rotation of the capital, we will not seriously contest for first occupation rights.

Being the leading alliance in the state, RiOT will occupy the capital first. When the capital is occupied, a president will be appointed, and the capital will enter a 14-day protection period. At the end of this term, RiOT peacefully surrenders the capital to the #2 alliances as per agreement. All these details will be communicated timely.

Capital Clash

During svs, the main focus is to either conquer or defend the capital. During this clash, everyone is welcome to battle tank vs tank (tvt) in the mud and get rewards, but please be aware:

1. No HQ attacks!

This is a friendly battle; we only fight tank vs tank (tvt). Tvt does not kill your troops, it will only put them in the hospital. Heal your troops in batches of 50-100. Healing all your troops at once takes a long time, if you heal in batches, your troops are out of the hospital in no time! 

2. Teleport to the GRASS around the capital! 

While defending the capital in a state war, we have to create distance between the capital and the invaders. We do that by occupying as much of the grass around the capital as possible. In this case, teleporting to the mud puts your HQ and your resources at risk! 

3. Don't attack the capital! 

Attacking the capital or the turrets will cause your troops to die! We want to avoid unnecessary loss of power and resources and recommend NOT to attack the capital! A good thing to keep in mind is that players with HQ27 may have unlocked tier 9 units. Unless you know how, fighting T9s with T7s is a lost cause, don't do it!
