War
Battles
Every campaign has 8-15 battles which last from 1 hour to 1.5 hours depending on how dominant one combatant is.
Note: the battle is automatically closed after 2 hours, even if the sides don't reach 1800 points.
The winner of each divisional battle is the side that first reaches over 1800 points, or the one who has more points after 2 hours of battle. Every minute one side has over 50% control will award the side with X number of points where X is:
0-30 minutes into the battle, 10 points at every minute;
31-60 minutes into the battle, 20 points at every minute;
61-90 minutes into the battle; 30 points at every minute;
91-120 minutes into the battle, 60 points at every minute.



In order for a battle to end, every division needs a side to reach 1800 points. If one division finishes before the rest they must wait until all divisional battles are finished before the next one can begin. This way all divisions start at the same time each battle.
Note: If both countries have 1800 points at the end (division is tied), defender will be declared as winner.

Battle hero achievements are awarded in every battle to 8 soldiers:

One to each citizen with the highest influence in their separate division, on both sides. If 2 citizens deal the same influence, citizen with the higher XP will receive the Battle Hero medal.
The amount of gold received through the Battle Hero medal varies by division.


Division Gold for Battle Hero
I - 2 GOLD
II - 3 GOLD
III - 4 GOLD
IV - 5 GOLD

What is True Patriot Medal ?
The medal will be achieved when you fight for your citizenship country in a direct war or a resistance war.
The reward for each medal is 5 gold.
You can see your progress to the next medal on your citizen profile.
You will receive your first medal when you deal 100k for your country and then in the following order:
The number Damage
1st medal 100.000
2nd medal 500.000
3rd medal 1.000.000
4th medal 2.000.000
5th medal 3.000.000
6th medal 5.000.000
7th medal 10.000.000
8th medal 15.000.000
9th medal 20.000.000
10th medal 30.000.000
11th medal 40.000.000
12th medal 50.000.000
13th medal 100.000.000
14th medal 150.000.000
15th medal 200.000.000
16th medal 300.000.000
Next medals 100.000.000 more than the previous one
Once you deal 100k damage, you can check your profile and you will already have the medal.
You cannot receive multiple medals for 100.000 damage, you can only receive ONE medal for each interval, as this is a progressive achievement.
If you change your citizenship, the counter will be reset, however you will not receive another medal for the same interval that you have already achieved.
The damage you deal for a country will be added instantly and it doesn't matter if you change citizenship, the damage made before changing it will remain made for the original country.
For example: if you deal 40 millions damage for eRomania and you then change citizenship, the progress will start from 0 and the new medal (for the country you changed citizenship to) will be awarded at 50 millions of new damage.

On your citizen profile, under the achievements, you can see your current True Patriot Progress. If you change your citizenship a new line will appear with True Patriot History where you can see how much damage you have dealt for your first citizenship country. If you change your citizenship again, you will see both your old progress bars.
