Dear eRepublikans,

Plato announced some maintenance works, so seems we can expect new changes that were announced few days back in the Latest Updates.



Protectors of Nations - Update Details



Protectors of Nations

Years ago we introduced the Legends ranks to celebrate citizens that went above the line of duty when fighting to free their country from oppressors or expand its territory. During that time the ranks and the damage bonus that came with them became synonymous with success, endurance and commitment.

As years went by, friends turned foes, new friendships blossomed and allegiances shifted. Legends bonuses remained, however, set in stone, crippling the efforts of Legendary Citizens in their quest to lend a hand to their adoptive countries.

Today we are announcing a new feature that will allow citizens to gain the equivalent of Legend rank bonuses in all the countries that matter to them: Protectors of Nations.


Protectors at a glance



Citizens that have proven their allegiance to a country will be able to accumulate Protector Points that count towards their progress to unlock protector levels for that country.

Unlocking Protector levels rewards the player with an extra damage bonus for that country.

The Legend rank extra damage will be migrated to protector levels. After the migration all citizens who reached the Legends of the New World ranks will have the same or higher bonuses.

The amount of protector points gained depends on the damage deployed, the country you fight for (with multipliers when fighting for the country of citizenship or for its allies), and the vehicle used during the deployment.


Vehicles and Armory



Protector progress is tightly related to your vehicles. In order to show your allegiance to a country, you will be able to enroll one of your vehicles to its Armed Forces.

Fighting with an enrolled vehicle for the country of enrollment allows you to gather Protector Points for that country, as well as benefit from your Protector Level in that country.

You can enroll up to 3 vehicles per military branch (Air/Ground) for each country, but keep in mind that having more vehicles enrolled for one country does not translate into higher Protector bonuses, as you will only be deploying 1 vehicle.

Apart from vehicles that were obtained by completing special events, the common vehicles that you unlock by progressing through divisions will be available. This means that if you feel nostalgic for your old light military 4x4 from Division 2, you’ll be able to give it a spin even as a Division 4 fighter.

The collectors among you will also have the option to complete their vehicle collection by collecting special blueprints and building some of those elusive vehicles from scratch.

You will be able to enroll & build vehicles in the Armory. The Armory replaces the Garage and also offers all the tools and info you need to manage your protector progress.


Qestions and Answers



1) Can I still fight if I don't enroll in a vehicle?
Yes, but you will not benefit from your country's damage bonus.

2) Is enrollment free?
Yes. But discharging a vehicle from the military will require a special item.

3) If I don't have an enrolled vehicle for a country, I won't get any protector progress when I fight for it, right?
Not quite. You won’t make progress towards the protector level of the country but you will get a small percentage of points in a wildcard pool. You can assign your wildcard points for the protector level of your choice.

4) I’ve reached the Legend XX rank, what happens to all the rank points I have over that rank?
The extra rank points will be converted to wildcard points with a similar ratio as above.

5) I have 3 legends in one country and 2 in another. What happens after the migration?
You’ll have at least 30% and 20% bonuses, provided you enroll at least one vehicle for each country. And use them when deploying of course.

6) When does this change happen?
In the first week of September. We’ll publish another Latest Update post once we gather your feedback with the launch date and further clarifications if required.

7) Do I need to have all three vehicle slots assigned in order to benefit from bonuses?
You only need one Ground vehicle to benefit from Ground Bonuses and only one Air vehicle in order to benefit from Air Bonuses.

Vehicles


Vehicles are required to Deploy in battles. Your current vehicles are available in the Hangar. When deploying in a battlefield, you can select the vehicle of your choice.

Unlocking, enrollment and discharging
In order to unlock a specific vehicle, a number of 10 specific blueprints for that vehicle must be collected. Once the required number of blueprints is gathered, the vehicle can be assembled in the Hangar.

In order to benefit from the protector level reached in a country, a vehicle has to be enrolled in the country's Armed Forces and used during deployments when fighting for that country.

A vehicle can only be enrolled in a single Military force at a time. But, if needed, you can choose to discharge from a country’s military and then enroll your vehicle to another one.

Please note that discharging a vehicle from a Country’s Armed Forces requires a special token.


Protector level and bonus


Progressing through protector levels enables you to unlock special damage bonuses that apply when deploying for that country.

Your current protector level and bonuses are available in the “Protectors of Nations” section of the armory.

Deploying (bombs not included) with an enrolled vehicle for the country allows you to collect protector points:

1. When fighting for your country of citizenship 10% of the damage dealt is converted into protector points for that country

2. When fighting for an allied country: 4% of the damage dealt is converted into protector points for that country

3. Fighting for a non-allied country: 2% of the damage dealt is converted into protector points for that country

Deploying without an enrolled vehicle: 1% of the damage dealt is converted into protector protector points for that country

After reaching the top protector rank in a country, 1% of the damage dealt will be converted to universal protector points that can be assigned to another country.

Additional information


You can enroll a maximum of three Tanks and three Aircraft to a country.
You do not need to have an Aircraft enroll to gain (and use) Ground Bonuses and vice versa.
You only need ONE Ground Vehicle assigned to a country to benefit from that country’s Ground Protectorate Bonuses.
You only need ONE Aircraft assigned to a country to benefit from that country’s Aircraft Protectorate Bonuses.
Multiple vehicles assigned to the same Protectorate benefit from the same Bonus.
