What the Hell is a Division?
Zheng He
The word of the day is "Division"
Welcome to the new world! We woke up this morning to an interesting change in the war module. On your fight screen you now see a "Campaign details" button. Click it! It shows the number of points accumulated for Division I, II, III, and IV. Huh, what's a Division?
It says:
"The country whose division reaches 1800 domination receives:
1 campaign point for Division I
2 campaign point for Division II
3 campaign point for Division III
5 campaign point for Division IV
83 total points needed to win the campaign."
Kewl ... so WTF is a Division?
We are now all divided into four Divisions based on our levels:
Levels 1-24: National Guard
Levels 25-29: Soldiers
Levels 30-36: Special Forces
Levels 37 and up: Tanks
So each battle actually has four battles. You are only fighting people in your division. For each battle, a country can win some Division battles and lose others. A country can get a maximum of 11 points per battle. The campaign is over when one side accumulates 83 points, which means we don't always need 15 battles.
We also have a BH for each Division. Yesterday, it is close to impossible for a level 22 player to compete with a level 40 player for a BH. But now, that level 22 player only competes with players up through 24. More BH medals!
Finally, clicking the fight button kills an enemy. It might take 10 health or 40 health, but one click means one kill (unless you hit 0 without enough damage to kill).
The red/blue bar confuses me, because I'm not sure which of the four Divisions it's counting. Possible it still aggregates all four. Click the Campaign details to see how *your* Division is doing.
So ... what does this mean?
A win for the little guys. They can now contribute more points and get BHs.
More BHs means more gold into the game. And jumping on a campaign early counts more, because we may not get 15 battles. Each battle may take longer while we wait for all four Divisions to complete.
More importantly, less clicking, which is a win for all us 2-clickers!

Well, this is the only article I've seen that even recognizes the changes, so thank you. At least I have some idea what's going on.
new system sucks willl lead to creation of multis to win division 1 and patronises all none tanks
Power to the 2-clickers!!!
(including 2-clicking multis 😛 )
The red/blue bar appears to be tracking the status of your division. It's nice to at least see what's going on now within the battle, I like the change.
good preliminary analysis; thanks
good read!
hardcore240, that's what I thought, but when I compare it with the table I don't see any correlation. I bet they have a bug there.
They also only show the Tank BH.
needs bewbs
Content, writing, or bewbs. Pick any two.
great article. just woke up to the changes and its nice to have a good explanation right away.
these changes are positive in my mind making new players relevant again. now they just need to go out and get new players..... oh and fix the economy module. 😛
I am finally meeting the requirements for Special Forces lol
but I am so young and yet put in div 4🙁
100% agreement here.
