SvS
The SvS (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.
- Matchmaking - in this phase, pairs of states are matched. It's automatic process and players can only wait for the results.
- 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.
- 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.
