Guild Wars

Overview
Guild wars is a new multiplayer game mode which is available to all players after they completed Forest 14 location. Once unlocked, player could join an existing guild or create a new guild and become its Guild Master. Over 350 new guilds got registered within the first 12 hours of Guilds Wars introduction.

General guild mechanics
Creating a new guild costs 250 gems.

Guild names are case senstitive and could include letters and digits.

Initially Guild master is shown at the the bottom of the guild member list, but later on could apear at random places in the list.

Guild master could remove any guild members anytime.

Guild members could leave the guild anytime but they would lose all the bonuses from a Guild Shop and won't be able to re-join the same guild for the next 24 hours.

List of guild members shows their power and last login date, initially sorted by the last seen date from the newest to the oldest.

Guild wars happen in Rounds, Wars and Seasons.

Guild Wars currency is called Medals (also known as Griffin currency or battle points).

Rounds include participating in mini-game to earn guild points.

Wars and Seasons give players rewards in Medals, members of top 50 guilds also receive dups of Elven Queen (Arcane) card and large medals amounts:

Arcane cards, such as Elven Queen, require 15 duplicates to seduce or excite it at each star level, so it would take 9*15=135 dups total to evolve one to 10 stars.
 * Top 1-3 (Gold) 15 dups of Elven Queen + 12500 battle points
 * Top 4-20 (Silver) 10 dups of Elven Queen + 7500 battle points
 * Top 21-50 (Bronze) 5 dups of Elven Queen + 3750 battle points

Guild Shop
Guild shop features various items which could be purchased and upgraded with medals. Each star(★) for an item is 1500 more medals than the cost for the previous level.

When upgrading guild shop items to earn additional guild points which could increase your guild rank the following table might be very useful. You get the same amount of guild points as the number of invested medals in the shop.

Note: to unlock purchases of a certain star level of an item the same star level must be already purchased on all items in the above stages.

Example: To increase Battle banner (stage 2) to 2★, all the first stage items must be already at 2★.

Medals could be earned by participating in Guild Wars as well as by purchasing Medal packs.

Battle
Guild Wars happen in 8 hours intervals with one day pause after 3 days of war. During these wars guild members add their troops to the battlefield map in attempt to defend or win more cells.

Guild owning the cells received battle points which are used to determine the War winners as well as for the monthly ranking. After each War members of the top 3 guilds receive some medals which could be used to buy items in the Guild Shop.

Every month, at the end of the season, prizes are awarded and guild shop item upgrades are reset.

28 days = 1 Season = 7 Wars + 7 days between Wars

3 days = 1 War = 9 Rounds

8 hours = 1 Round = 3 Phases

7 hours = Main Phase (add troops) (and see power of Neutral enemies)

*45 minutes = Preparation Phase (add troops) (see power of Neutral enemies) (see power of other guild enemies)

15 minutes = Battle Phase (no actions, round is being resolved)

Note: your troops remain assigned until the end of the current War (for 9 rounds or 3 days).

Rewards
Any team finishing in top 50 gets a prize - medals and duplicates of the new Elves Queen card (Arcane rarirty).

Award top 3= Award top 20= Award top 50=

Winners
The history of Guild Wars season winners could be found in Guild Wars Season Winners page.

The Plague
A plague happens at the end of 3rd and 6th round and kills 50% of the troops in every cell. Be careful about the troops deployed in these rounds, because the troops will be halved.



Marauders will be exempt from the plague, they are immune.



Cells attack and defense points
1st value = Attack points, 2nd value = Defense points

Squares with 0 troops (such as your starting squares) do not receive defending points beyond the first round.

Elemental Towers
The elemental towers give 1.5x attack multiplier to cards of the same color as the tower element. This bonus could be increased by purchasing runes of the matching color from the guild shop.

In addition to that, the player should not forget about the set bonus given to cards that belong to a set: 5%, 10%, 25%, 75%. Sending cards as a set is preferrable as this is the only way to gain 75% set multiplier.

Battle Banner
During every round of a guild war guild masters are allowed to set the guild's battle banner on one of the battlefield squares which is visible to their teammates and remains on that square till the end of the round. Guilds could use battle banner to coordinate their actions. In addition, if battle banner item has been purchased from the guild store, power of troops sent to the square with the banner will be increased by 10%/15%/20% depending on the battle banner upgrade level.
