World Fortress & Monuments

The centre of the realm is permanently contested. Whoever holds the Fortress buffs their entire faction; Monuments scattered across the map pay their holders directly.

The World Fortress

  • Sits at the centre of the realm map and can be attacked by any faction.
  • The holding faction receives a realm-wide buff for as long as they keep it.
  • Losing the Fortress removes the buff immediately — expect constant pressure.

Monuments

  • Individually claimed objectives that grant bonus resource production to the holder.
  • Each Monument favours a specific resource; holding several stacks their output.
  • Monuments can be taken by force, so garrison them like any other position.

Tactics

  • Coordinate through alliance rallies — solo strikes on a defended Fortress rarely land.
  • Time attacks against enemy shield expiries and boost windows.
  • Faction chat is the fastest way to organise a counter-push.
