Territory Control

Getting Started With Territory Control

Obtaining Territory

‘Territory’ represents the area in which you can place NPCs and build structures, and is a circle that expands from a keep or player house. You can view all existing guild territories on the map, represented by circles. These circles show how large a guild’s Territory is, and the name of the owning guild when hovering over it with the mouse.

Territory can only be claimed by guilds, so to begin your journey of conquest you must create a guild.

Player Houses & Strongholds

To claim Territory for your guild using a player house,
1. Buy a ‘Claiming Stone from the ‘Land Registrar’, a new NPC in all major settlements.
2. Player houses have a new page in the house UI currently labelled ‘Guild’, place the ‘Claiming Stone’ into the slot in this new UI page, and press the “Claim Territory” button below it.
3. You have now claimed an area of Territory around that house, and your Territory will soon be visible to everyone on the in game map.
4. Other members of your guild may do the same with their own houses, creating more areas of Territory belonging to the guild.

Keeps
Keeps automatically claim the surrounding Territory for their guild as soon as they are fully constructed, and do not require a Claiming Stone

Territory Expansion

Player Houses & Strongholds

• Player houses and strongholds will claim more Territory as they are upgraded, reaching the maximum size at tier 3.
• Territory from player houses and Strongholds do not collide with or block each other.

• Keep guilds may expand the Territory of their keep by meeting the required Guild Tier for expansion, and paying Prominence to expand.
  • Currently this is done via the keep UI on the Territory page, by clicking the ‘Expand Territory’ button.
    • On this page you can see the target size your keep’s territory is trying to expand into, along with the current size.
  • If the Territory from two different keep owning guild’s collide while trying to expand, both Territories will become blocked and unable to grow further until one of the Territories shrinks.
  • Territory from keeps does not collide with Territory from player houses and Strongholds.
  • Keep territories will expand at a rate of 100m per hour after being upgraded.

Guild Tiers

Guilds can now make progress towards earning tiers.

– Your guild’s tier is displayed in the Territory tab, with a name that changes for each tier.

• Tiers are earned via capturing and holding a minimum number of Supply Towers throughout the world while also meeting and paying a minimum prominence requirement.
  • Increasing the Guild Tier spends this Prominence requirement.
• Increasing your guild’s tier will allow keep owning guilds to expand their Territory
  • Each Territory size increase has a guild tier requirement.

Treasury

All guilds now have a Treasury, which is where the upkeep for territory structures is drained from. You can access Treasury and upkeep information by opening the new Territory tab.

• The Treasury is shown as silver coins, so a Treasury containing 1000 is 10 gold.
• Players can donate and withdraw gold from the Treasury via the Steward NPC in the Chancery.

If the guild Treasury is empty, all structures that require gold upkeep will begin to decay.
Note: In the future, all NPCs attached to structures that fail to pay upkeep will become disabled (despawn).
