Global Map Season 18: Rules & Regulations

Commanders!

We are glad to announce the start of Season 18 on the Global Map that will take place from April 26 through June 19.

Season 18 is an experimental one, with a fundamentally new model of gold and bonds distribution for playing on the Global Map. The general clan leaderboard of the Season will appear on the Global Map, and by the Season's end, clans will receive the traditional rewards—medals, styles, and decals. There will also be a new 2D style, Warrior of the North, for the Season participants.

Read on for all the latest details!

    New Gold & Bonds Distribution System

    In previous Seasons, gold was earned by clans. By capturing provinces and completing Clan Tasks, clans received gold in their Treasury, which in turn was managed by clan officers. This will change in Season 18.

    Now gold will be received not only by clans, but also by players for their activity on the Global Map. At the same time, the strategic component will remain, and clans will need to capture territories and hold them to earn gold.

    Personal Leaderboard

    A personal daily leaderboard will appear on the Global Map. For each Global Map battle, all participants will receive personal Fame Points.

    • The leaderboard is formed based on personal Fame Points earned during the day. To enter the leaderboard, players need to earn at least 15 personal Fame Points. Depending on their position on the leaderboard at the end of the day, all participants of the leaderboard receive rewards.
    • The minimum amount a player can receive for entering the leaderboard is 10, and the maximum is 40.
    • Players in the top 50% of the leaderboard will also receive from 15 to 75.
    • Gold and bonds earned by players during the day are credited to a special vault at the end of the day.
    • The accumulated gold and bonds can be collected at any time from the vault in a special section of the Clan Dashboard. They are automatically credited once the Season ends or when players leave the clan.
    • The leaderboard is reset when battles start the next day.

    All team players will receive equal amounts of personal Fame Points for each battle fought according to the following rules:

    Victory

    Defeat

    Tournament among challengers in a regular province

    Battle with the province owner

    12

    5

    14

    14

    Regardless of whether a team wins or loses, Points will be awarded to players only if the team destroys five or more enemy vehicles.

    So, for each day of play on the Global Map, battle participants will earn gold, and the most active and successful players will also earn bonds.

    Clan Leaderboard

    Clans will continue to earn gold and bonds for the clan Treasury. The general mechanics for clans are similar to those from big events, but significantly simpler.

    • The weekly clan leaderboard is formed based on clan Fame Points. Depending on their position by the end of the week, clans can receive gold and bonds for their Treasury.
    • The quantity of gold and bonds distributed among clans is equal to the quantity of gold and bonds earned by players for entering the personal leaderboard over a week.
    • Clan Fame Points can be earned for participating in battles, for capturing provinces, for owning provinces, and for completing Clan Tasks.
    • The clan leaderboard is reset at the end of the week.

    Therefore, the more players participate in battles on the Global Map, the more gold and bonds clans will earn for their Treasury.

    Value terminology:

    • Fame_Points = clan Fame Points earned in battle
    • Fame_points_base = the base number of clan Fame Points
    • Battle_type_c = battle type multiplier
    • Event_value_c = game event multiplier
    • Еlo_c = Elo rating multiplier, corresponding to the front Elo rating for Tier X vehicles
    • Team_XP = the number of experience points a team earned in battle
    • Battle_XP = the total number of experience points both teams earned in battle
    • Team_size = the size of the team (set at 15 players)

    • Clans receive 12,000 clan Fame Points for the first capture of any province. The first capture of a province will net clan Fame Points once per Season.
    • Clans receive clan Fame Points for owning a province. The number of Fame Points earned for owning a province decreases for each day of ownership.
    • After leaving the Global Map, the bonus counter for owning a province is reset, as if the clan did not previously own this province.
    • When a province is captured repeatedly (excluding capture after leaving the Global Map), the bonus remains as if the clan owned it without interruption.
      • For example, a clan owns a province for three days, loses it, then re-captures it the following day. In this case, the clan will receive 3,000 clan Fame Points for the first day of resumed ownership and 0 clan Fame Points for the following day.

    The Workshop

    As with previous Seasons, the Workshop will allow you to produce various rewards using various resources earned after battles on the Global Map.

    The amount of resources you get from each battle is the same for all team members and depends on the following factors:

    • Battle outcome: You will earn more resources for a victory than a defeat.
    • Number of enemy vehicles destroyed: The more enemy vehicles destroyed, the more resources earned (vehicles destroyed at the end of the battle are counted, irrespective of who destroyed them).
    • If the clan fails to destroy at least one enemy vehicle, players will not receive resources for that battle.

    Only one item can be produced at a time, but you can queue items for production and reorder or remove them from the queue at will. If you remove an item from the queue (including items currently being assembled), its component resources will be returned to the Depot in full. You can check the battle log in the Workshop to see the amount of resources earned in all battles since the start of the Season.

    The Workshop will be available until the end of the Season (June 19, 2022 at 05:00 (UTC+8), after which all unused resources and components will be removed from your account.
