2. Special Rules

During Stage 3, Clans will receive individual Clan operations (sets of Clan tasks). Clans will receive Clan Fame Points for completing the tasks and operations.

2.1 Receiving Clan Tasks and Operations: Landing

2.1.1. Upon arrival on the Global Map, Clans will be able to choose the first task of a Clan operation.

2.1.2. Before receiving a Clan task, you can set the parameters for all tasks in the Clan operation. First, choose a Prime Time when your Clan will be receiving tasks and then select a way to land on the Global Map:

• A landing tournament
• An auction

2.1.3. If a Clan is selecting a Prime Time to receive a task and there are no available applications for any landing provinces, the Clan receives no task. In this case, the Clan can still apply for landing via an auction in the same Prime Time.

2.1.4. A Clan can start several Clan operations, each able to be set according to point 2.1.2. Therefore, a Clan can use several combat units to complete Clan tasks in different areas within the Front. The maximum number of active operations a Clan can have is 5.

2.1.5. When choosing a Clan task and setting a Prime Time, a Clan should consider the following factors:

• If a Prime Time is selected before landing tournaments are formed (more than an hour prior to Prime Time), then the task is considered complete once the Prime Time is over and the target province is captured.
• If a Prime Time is selected after landing tournaments are formed (an hour prior to the Prime Time or less) and your target province is the same one you are battling for, your Clan has to defend the province during the next day’s Prime Time.

2.2. Completing Tasks: Capturing Provinces

2.2.1. A Clan can begin taking on Clan tasks as soon as it receives the first task in a Clan operation, and can move on to capturing provinces according to the operation scenario.

2.2.2. A target province for the upcoming Clan task is selected among the neighboring provinces, provided that it:

• Doesn't belong to the Clan
• Is not a target for a Clan in other Clan operations
• Is not a landing

In case there is no territory neighboring the current province with the previous parameters mentioned, the target province will be picked randomly from all provinces which are in the same Prime Time.

2.2.3. A target province is considered captured if it is owned by a Clan once battles end in the province, even if no Headquarters are located in the province.

2.2.4. Clans will receive a fixed number of Fame Points as a bonus for capturing a target province during a Clan operation:

Bonus for capturing a target province	Clan Fame Points
	1,000

2.2.5. In addition to the bonus mentioned in point 2.2.4, a Clan can also earn Clan Fame Points for each successive task completed within a Clan operation.

Description	Clan Fame Points
1st task bonus	1,000
2nd task bonus	5,000
3rd task bonus	10,000
4th task bonus	25,000
5th task bonus	50,000
6th task bonus	100,000
7th task bonus	200,000
8th task bonus	300,000
9th task bonus	400,000
10th task bonus	500,000

2.2.6. Before receiving each task during a Clan operation, Clans have two options:

• Continue the Clan operation and receive another Clan task that will provide a bigger bonus if completed. Having received the next task, the Clan will have the details on the next target province and its current owner.
• Abort the operation. In this case, the Clan receives Clan Fame Points according to the level of the last completed task.

2.2.7. If a Clan has not made a decision about aborting or continuing the operation sooner than three hours before the Prime Time, the Clan operation is automatically aborted and the Clan receives a bonus according to the last Clan task completed.

2.2.8. If a Clan loses a battle for the target province, the Clan operation is considered a failure and the Clan receives no bonus at all for the Clan tasks.

2.2.9. After failing to complete a Clan operation, a Clan can start another one.

2.2.10. All the details on active Clan operations are available on the Global Map.

2.3. Additional Clan Tasks

2.3.1. A Clan can earn Clan Fame Points both by completing main Clan tasks and by preventing other Clans from completing their tasks.

2.3.2. If a Clan hinders an enemy Clan (or several Clans) from completing its Clan task, by capturing the enemy’s target province, the Clan earns 10% of the bonus that would have been earned by the enemy Clan for completing its task. The Clan does not earn the bonus if the captured province is also this Clan’s target province.

2.3.3. The details on this possible bonus for each province are available on the Global Map.

3. Personal Fame Points

3.1. During Stage 3, Fame Points will be awarded following the formula below:

Battle Type Coefficients (Battle_type_c)

Battle Type	Ratio
Landing tournament	1
Auction tournament	5
Battle for province (the final battle of a tournament)	5

Elo Rating Coefficients (Elo_c)

Opposing Clan's Elo Rating	Elo_c
< = 1,000	1.0
1,001 - 1,200	1.1
1,201 - 1,400	1.2
1,401 - 1,600	1.3
1,601 - 1,800	1.4
1,801 - 2,000	1.5

3.2. A Clan also gets the same number of Fame Points for each battle as a member of the Clan participating in the battle. For example, players of Clan A got 36 personal Fame Points after a battle. Thus, Clan A also gets 36 Clan Fame Points.
