Landlords Stage

During the Landlords Stage, clans will be competing for Victory Points (VP) to secure unique medals, in-game Gold, and other special prizes.

The Landlords Stage will take place from June 10-20th.

Victory Points

During the first Stage, Victory Points (VP) will be awarded to clans based upon the following parameters:

• Capturing a regular province grants 5,000 VP
• Capturing a key province grants 15,000 VP
• Losing a regular province removes 5,000 VP
• Losing a key province removes 15,000 VP

Additional VP can be earned during the the first Stage, details appear below.

Phase One:

Global Map is locked: June 10, 2013 at 04:50 PDT

During this downtime the following changes will be made to the Global Map:

• Essentially the entire map is reset and everything is prepped to start anew
  • All provinces will be cleared and set to neutral
  • All scheduled battles will be cancelled
  • All chips will be returned to Clan Reserves and made available
  • All spies and counter-spies will be removed from the map
  • All Riots will be cancelled
  • All Ransacks will be cancelled and income from ransacked provinces will be restored
  • Mediterranean and Northern European regions will be disabled
  • 'Canada and Alaska' region will be added to the map (detailed information on the region will be released on May 27th)
  • All lands in Clan Wars will recieve 'landing province' status for the next 24 hours
    
    • During this phase all battles will be performed in tier I vehicles

Screenshot given as an example, we would like to draw your attention to the fact that Northern Europe region will be disabled.

Once the Global Map is reactivated, clans will be able to make applications for landing. Special rules will be in place for this phase of the Campaign:

• Landing tournaments will only be held using Tier I vehicles
• Each landing tournament is limited to 32 applications
  • Each hour the system will randomly shuffle the applications made in the previous turn and add them to the end of the accepted application list
    • This gives every clan, making an application in a given hour, the same probability of being included
  • Once the limit is reached, all applications beyond the 32 randomly selected will be removed from the system
  • Clans that did not make the cutoff will have their chips returned to Clan Reserves without any penalty
• A color coding system will be in place on each province to help indicate which provinces still have available spots for landing applications
  • The colors range from grey (empty of applications) through pink and up to red (full)

Phase Two

The Global Map is unlocked: June 11, 2013 at 08:00

Phase Two will conclude: June 20th, 2013 after the end of prime times

Once Phase Two begins the following rules and changes will be in effect:

• All provinces (aside from the normal landing provinces) will revert to non-landing province
  • The remaining landing provinces will have their application slots upped to 256 from 64; it's expected that this will only extend the landing tournament length by one hour
• There will be an escalating tier limit on all battles through the remainder of this phase:
  
  • June 11th: Tier II
  • June 12-13th: Tier III
  • June 14-16th: Tier IV
  • June 17-18th: Tier V
  • June 19-20th: Tier VI
• Additionally, all Key Provinces will have a 6,000 daily income denoted by a special icon

Key Provinces

Welsh Prince Island South Labrador Wood Buffalo Nome NYC Fort Polk, Louisiana Fort Knox, Kentucky Truth or Consequences, New Mexico

Bighorn Wyoming Vegas, Nevada Portland, Oregon Tulsa, Oklahoma Yellowknife Prince George Land North-West Ontario

Additional Victory Points

Aside from the normal acquisition of Victory Points, bonus VP will be awarded using the following parameters:

• All clans that captured at least one province during Phase One will receive 500 VP
• All clans holding territories at the end of Phase One ('Re-division of the World') will receive 1,000 VP per province owned
