This article is a part of the Plato's Foundation writing contest in category Analysis.


Dear citizens of the Netherlands,

This article contains the basics of the Days of Mayhem event. It also give you some advice on how to set the right skills. Please note our training war with Canada is of high importance for the government to give you the opportunity to fight with full strength. We must ensure it stays active thus see to it that Canada continues to win the direct battles while we win the resiatance wars* unless communicated otherwise.


Selecting the terrain
The attacking side's military leaders (Country Presidents, Dictators, Ministers of Defense, Ministers of Foreign Affairs and Prime Ministers) will have the ability to choose the Attack Strategy by picking the terrains for the battles to come.(This means, Odan, Arcanic Mindje Flo Rida20 and Shawtyl0w will be able to set terrains)

In case of Resistance Wars, the Resistance Force is the attacker and the military leaders of the country fighting to liberate the region will be able to set the Attack Strategy.

Attackers can set their Attack Strategy from the battle console, the wars list and the country military tab.
The terrains selected are valid per battle (round) and are valid for all the divisions of the battle (round). During a campaign, every terrain can be selected only once.


Battles in progress at day change
The ongoing battles (rounds) at the start of the event will not change their rules and will not have the military rank bonus.
They will also not count in setting the epic thresholds for epic battles under the event rules.


Epic Battles
As announced, during the event, Battles will become epic once they go above the maximal damage of a battle fought in the same divisions over the last days. This will only apply during the Event days.
Only battles that started after day 3,615 00:00 will be considered for the maximal damage mechanic.
That also means that the first batch of battles to start after 3,615 00:00 will be the ones to set the first epic thresholds.

Example Scenario:
Battle 1 starts before 3,615 00:00 so standard rules and strength applies.
Battle 2 is the first one to start after 3,615 00:00 and no epic threshold is available for it.When it ends at 1h40 it will set the epic threshold of 1,000. For more info on next battles check the latest update page.

Based on your feedback, we have lowered the interval on which the threshold is based on to the previous 2 days.(There has been less fighting which means plenty of epic battles during this event!)

Choosing Skills
A player can distribute its strength points at any time between one or more terrains.
As long as there are strength points available players can assign them to a terrain of their choice.




That means that a division one player with 40,000 strength points can decide to only allocate 20,000 Skill Points for a terrain at the beginning of the event and keep the remaining 20,000 for a later assignment.(This indicates it might be wise to wait with setting your skill points untill you actually want to fight.)

If a player does not assign any Skill Points his skills for all the terrain will be 0.
A maximum of 40,000 Skill Points can be assigned to a terrain.

You can check other player’s skill by visiting their profile page or in their hovercards. if you have no clue on which terrains to set you can visit the player profiles of the government members or your MU command team. They have most likely set their skills according to our battle terrains and can give you some strategic insight.


eNL terrain selection


When selecting your skills, please pay attention to the following:
1. Since we care about RWs the first 3 terrains are of the utmost importance.
2. Once you've fought you will have lost your energy and can't fight in the next battle. It is wise to also select one of the terrains used later in the campaign.


Resetting skills

In order to reset the skills a Reset Token is required.
Once used all the strength distributed in Skill Pointswill be added back to the available strength pool and you will be able to assign it to new skills.

Each citizen will get 5 Reset Tokens at the beginning of the event and will be able to purchase up to 10 more Reset Tokens.


Some last tips when fighting:

Bazooka's and boosters

No matter which division you are in, consider using bazooka's and if you have them, Bazooka boosters + 50% or 100% damage boosters as well as Ghost Boosters. You may check your damage dealt with bazooka booster vs Q7 Tanks, but with the maximum strength cap per division you will not be able to surpass the bazooka is combination with the bazooka boosters with Q7 Weapon.


100% Rank Bonus
Do not forget that you will have a 100% Military rank bonus, ON THE GROUND battles during the Event. That bonus will be calculated using your total strength, Not the capped strength you have assigned per terrain.


True Patriot reward during the event
For the duration of the Event the True patriot medal will grant you 3 000 cc not the usual 1 000.




As you will have limited strength per division, It will be a lot harder to score a True Patriot medal. So consider bringing your True Patriot progress almost to the end, with your currently high strength, and finish it after the DC, getting the higher reward a lot easier.

Thank you for reading,
