The World of Tanks team is proud to announce the Clan Wars event "Armageddon." Armageddon involves bold new battle plans, secret technology, hidden areas, and heated battles. And you'll see all of it on the way to the goal -- obliterating the world's evil and heading for a new Global Map!

Updated 6/5: Rules are posted!

The Story

The world of the Global Map we used to know is doomed and faces imminent disaster after four years of constant global warfare. This disaster threatens to devastate of all the World of Tanks Clans. The only way to survive is to find a new home!

However, no Clan has the technology to reach the new Global Map. But fortune smiles! According to secret data, a once mighty and dreadful evil empire defeated many years ago had the necessary knowledge to move between worlds. As it turns out, there are numerous secret bases from this Empire remaining all around the world, storing unique technology and inventions. One is an aircraft we've been unable reproduce based on the modern physics model: the Belluzzo Wheel (Flying Saucer).

Clans will be seeking and seizing Belluzzo Wheels and delivering them to a new area: New Swabia, where the remaining Empire Forces are preparing for their own Global Map relocation. For this purpose, they built a secret spaceport and a series of supply reactors. Clans are to capture these facilities by destroying the Empire's forces.

All game events will be based on a system of staged tasks each Clan receives individually. The results will be based on successful task completion.

The Battle

At the time of the Armageddon launch, two Global Maps will be available: the first map, designed for the event, and the second being the present Global Map with the standard rules. During Armageddon, any Clan may switch between maps or leave the map completely. By leaving a map, the Clan loses all of its provinces.

Awards and Achievements

Fame Points

As in previous Clan Wars events, Clans can receive Fame Points and players will earn Personal Fame Points.

IS-5

Custom IS-5 (unique camo & emblem)

Standard IS-5

The trophy of the battle against the Empire will be a unique tier VIII Premium Tank -- the IS-5 (Object 730) with unique camouflage. 1,000 of them will be distributed to the best-performing players from the best-performing Clans according to the event results.

Also, in order to increase the number of IS-5 owners and taking into account the increased interest in it, we'll provide the top 1,500 participants who did not win an opportunity to purchase the IS-5 with Gold. Thus the total number of tank winners will be increased from 1,000 to 2,500.

Gold Awarding

Clans who take part will have an opportunity to fill their Clan Treasury with Gold by capturing and owning provinces on the Event Map. Getting Gold will be changed in order to allow more Clans to earn it:

The total income of both Global Maps during the event will be combined into a single fund
Provincial income of the default (non-event) Global Map will be substantially reduced. This reduced income will be applied to the Event Map
All Event Map provinces will have the same income, and the total daily income of the Event Map will greatly exceed the usual value
As a result, a larger number of Clans participating will have the opportunity to earn substantial amounts of Gold
