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 minigame 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 ammounts:

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


 * 60 for $1.99
 * 190 for $4.99
 * 400 for $9.99
 * 830 for $19.99
 * 2250 for $49.99
 * 5040 for $99.99

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 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.

1 month = 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, see power of Neutral enemies)

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

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

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

Awards
Any team that finish in top 50 will get a prize.

The only tangible prize I could see is the single super-special Elves Queen (Arcane) card plus some items with relatively moderate bonuses.

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

The Plague
A plague happens at the end of 3rd and 6th round and kills 50% of the troops in every cell.



Cells occupied by marauders will be excepted.



Cells attack and defense points
[Note: The picture below shows the intended scoring, the actually implemented scoring gives twice as much for the capturing.]

1st value = Attack points, 2nd value = Defense points



Elemental Towers
The elemental towers give 1.5x attack multiplier to cards of the same color as the tower element.

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%.
