On the right side of your screen there is an icon with a blue and red shield, with the text Vs on it, it is the icon for the alliance duel. It is a week long event, similar to your personal "full prepardeness" event. We will have a guide about Full Prepardness later. Alliance Duel can be (but isn't always) a server vs server event. Alliance Duel has a few different rewards you can expect from doing it. You have chest you can open after you reach some points. There are 9 chests there, 3 are available for all, 3 more requires a somewhat easy to reach research, the last 3 requires even more advanced research. There are Ranking Rewards and there are "Tier Rewards" for victory. Rewards include badges, and we need badges for important technology research. Tier rewards for winning the duel are also valuable and important. While the chests and ranking rewards are personal rewards and you get them, the tier reward for winning the duel is for the whole USz alliance.
But the rewards fon't stop there. In State Ruler point gathering phase, our whole state, the whole #189 server, gets 30000 points for each and every daily victory in Alliance duel, We also get 6000 points for anyone on our server reaching Alliance Duel Daily Rank 1. It is very important for State Ruler point gathering. Some would say it is a pay to win game, but in Alliance Duel startegy is also important. To understand how strategy for the Alliance Duel works, you should understand the Alliance Duel interface and all the information presented there. At the bottom of the Alliance Duel interface you have buttons to open various pages of the Alliance Duel Interface. Some of these pages are very important, and some of them are unimportant. As you can guess the "Great Value" is advertisement for pack most of you probably won't want to buy. Later, when we explain the store, we will touch the packages you usually see there, but today (it is a Monday) while we get more points from buying more radar events (can have a significant impact), they offer Rapid Builder which has minimal impact for our socre, only based on the Diamonds in the pack. There is also the back button, and 3 more buttons to reach important information.
Today's Theme
The Today's Theme page has a few differernt blocks. In the upper part of the page, you see the time left from todays Duel phase, you also see your personal score points on the left and there are 3 icons on the right. The ranking icon tells your ranking in the event of the day. Others are information about the system. Under there you see another block with chests. You can swipe right (and left) to see the other chests too. If you use keyboard and mouse, there are < and > arrows at the edge of this part. At each chest you can see how many points do you need to open those chests. You can also check the contents of the chest by clicking / taping on it. Dual Master Supply boxes have some random rewards in them. Above each chest you see their value in diamonds.
Bellow that there is the last part of this page, that details how much points you get for various activities. There is ain info icon in the hader of this part, if you click / tap on it, you will see how much bonus points you get above the base values for these activities. As you see each day has a theme, and you need to do different activities to get these points.
Total Score
This page has an opper secrtion where you can see how much points each alliance has, and a percentage too. At the Ranking points you can see individual rankings from the alliance duel. You can filter the results to show rankings of only our alliance too. For us, the key information isn't about your ranking, as it can fluctuate a bit, but we also see individual scores, both daily scores and weekly scores. Someone with a 0 score was inactive for the day. Someone with a very low score, who was active, and could have achieved far more even in 5-10 minutes shows a player who needs guideance, who might be better if he listens to the leaders. Today, when we need 200.000 points to open the 3rd (still available for all) chests, and when I write this guide only 56 of us reached the 200.000 mark and 5 of our active players have less than 100.000 points that tells me, some of us might need help. But when we compare it to the information from "Today's Theme" page and know how much activity was needed for these amounts of points, that also creates a topic we, the laders of the alliance, can discuss to see where we need more improvement.
For you, the key information there is to see if we are winning, and see how much activity we might need to win the day. You can decide to save some resources for "next week" or for the holistic growt phase if spending them now would be less useful, or you can focus on doing more if it is more important. But it is expected from our members to open at least 3 chests when they are active, and soon it will be expected to open at least 4, 5 or 6 chests as we should progress with Research.
You will see more information about the related research in our Research Guide soon.
Enemy Buster
The Enemy Buster page allows us to teleport between our own home and the server of our enemy buster enemy in the enemy buster phase of the alliance duel. It is important only in server vs server alliance duels. In this case using this page to releport between the servers is free and you can teleport to any free location of target server, can even target hives of their smaller or bigger alliance. It allows for plundering and looting across servers. As "visitors" from other servers have no reason to follow our Non-Aggression Pact, we can expect people trying to loot on our own servers too, and it would be hard to reinforce people when most of us are asleep, so it is advised to have Peace Shields available for the enemy buster part of the Alliance Duel event.
