🎮 Game Modes: Damage and Healing Points
| Game Mode | Point Damage on Loss | Point Heal on Victory |
|---|
🎮 VS AI Game Modes
| Game Mode | Point Damage on Victory against AI | Amount of HP healed if AI wins vs player |
|---|
Here's a breakdown of how damage and healing work:
- If Guild X attacks Guild Y and succeeds: Guild Y will lose 9 HP on that map.
- If Guild Y defends successfully: Guild Y will receive 3 HP on their controlled map.
- Starting HP: Every newly controlled map starts with 20 HP.
Example Scenario: If Guild X successfully captures Guild Y's map (e.g., Dry Arabia), Dry Arabia will start under Guild X's control with 20 HP.
Map Sniping Prevention: Damage done to a map is limited by its remaining HP. For example:
If Guild X's map has only 1 HP left and Guild Y did 19 HP damage
Let's say Guild Z attacks afterward,(when X has only 1Hp) they will deal damage to the newly conquered map (which starts at 20 HP[which means they helped Guild Y to conquer the map but the conquer points Guild Z will receive it]). In this case, Guild Z's attack will deal 8 HP damage instead of 9. Goes down from the newly conquered map from 20 to 12.
⚔️ Guild Wars Mechanics
- Points are awarded based on map control at the end of each week.
- After attacking, a player becomes eligible again after 2 hours. Same goes for defending.
- Game modes have a 1-hour cooldown before they can be used on the same map again. It is shared between guild members and game modes. So if Joe attacked from Phoenix on Dry Arabia, Bob can't attack it in any game modes, Bob has to attack a different map while Joe is on a 2-hour waiting period.
