Capture Mechanics

  • Each hex can only be captured by one player at a time.
  • You need to be physically inside the hex to capture it.
  • Captured hexes are colored green on the map.
  • Hexes generate points over time while you hold them.
  • You cannot capture a hex that is already owned by another member of your clan.

Clan System

  • Join clans to control larger territories together.
  • When a clan owns most of the hexes in a local area, that area comes under clan control.
  • Clan members work together to expand and defend shared territory.

Points and Rewards
