Story
A new challenge, directly from the sky: meteorites are falling!!! Dispatch your troops to gather resources, compete for points, and win amazing rewards! You can even participate while your shield is active!
The Falling Meteorite
Clicking on the new event icon you can access the Meteorite Iron War event page.
From here you can see the event server grouping, in this case servers: #22, #18, #8, #11.
The Meteorite will fall soon on warzone #22.
Meteorite Iron
This event is mainly focused on gathering resources of Meteorite Iron, but it includes also wars among bases given the fact that this will allow to plunder crystals and stellar cores from bases.
There are a lot of interesting rewards, they are shown in a compressed way as chests at the bottom of the event page.
Clicking on the “i” the expanded version is available, we will see that in the rewards section.
There are 4 ways to collect Meteorite Iron:
- Teleporting the base in the Contaminated Land inside the crater
- Gathering Meteorite Debris
- Gathering Meteorite Crystal
- Gathering Sellar Core
Contaminated Land
During the event, teleporting your base to the Contaminated Land inside the crater will make your base generate 40 Meteorite Iron / second.
Teleporting from outside the crater to any spot inside does not consume a Teleporter.
This activity alone could allow you to earn 72.000 points in one round (30 minutes * 60 seconds * 40 points/s)
Meteorite Debris
Resource Gathering:
- Earn 40 Meteorite Iron per second when gathering Meteorite Debris
- Instantly receives 300 Meteorite Iron when finished
You can safely gather this type of resource without worrying about attacks on your base by other players: just teleport to the outer contaminated area, where the shield remains active. IMPORTANT: your squads are still vulnerable to attacks while gathering.
Meteorite Crystals
Resource Gathering:
- Earn 80 Meteorite Iron per second when gathering Meteorite Crystals
- Once gathering is complete, you will instantly receive 1500 Meteorite Iron, and the Crystals will be transported back to your base
Base Gains:
- Crystal generates 30 Meteorite Iron per seconds at your base
- If the base is breached, some Meteorite Crystals will be lost, but the collected Meteorite Iron remains safe
Once you complete a Meteorite Crystal gathering, your squads will bring it to your base. Once you have the Meteorite Crystal on your base, it will boost your per second gathering of Meteorite Iron per second.
For example:
- The base Meteorite Iron / second of your base for just being inside the contaminated land is: 40 Meteorite Iron / second.
- Once you collect 1 Meteorite Crystal and you have it on your base, that Meteorite Iron / second generated from your base will be increased + 30 Meteorite Iron / second,
- So your base will produce 70 Meteorite Iron / second
- IMPORTANT: If someone attacks and breaches your base they will plunder a Meteorite Crystal
- IMPORTANT 2: Teleporting out of the contaminated land will make you lose the Meteorite Crystals and therefore their boost. If you teleport back to contaminated zone you will not have them any more.
Meteorite Stellar Cores
Resource Gathering:
- Earn 160 Meteorite Iron per second when gathering Meteorite Stellar Cores
- Once gathering is complete, you will instantly receive 6000 Meteorite Iron, and the Stellar Cores will be transported back to your base
Base Gains:
- Stellar Core generates 120 Meteorite Iron per seconds at your base
- If the base is breached, some Stellar Cores will be lost, but the collected Meteorite Iron remains safe
Once you complete a Stellar Core gathering, your squads will bring it to your base. Once you have the Stellar Core on your base, it will boost your per second gathering of Meteorite Iron per second.
For example:
- The base Meteorite Iron / second of your base for just being inside the contaminated land is: 40 Meteorite Iron / second.
- Once you collect 1 Stellar Core and you have it on your base, that Meteorite Iron / second generated from your base will be increased + 120 Meteorite Iron / second,
- So your base will produce 160 Meteorite Iron / second
- IMPORTANT: If someone attacks and breaches your base they will plunder a Stellar Core
- IMPORTANT 2: Teleporting out of the contaminated land will make you lose the Stellar Core and therefore their boost. If you teleport back to contaminated zone you will not have them any more.
Preview Stage
When the event begins, the Preview Stage runs from Tuesday to Friday, showing approximately the first meteor’s landing point and the contested warzone. Among 4 warzones the first meteor will land in this case on server #22.
During this phase there is nothing to do, you only have to get used to the event page.
Going into map mode and zooming out it is also possible to see the landing point and some meteors dropping on the map.
Contest Stage
There are 2 contest events: one taking place at 00:10 server time and the other at 12:30 server time of the same day.
Each round lasts 30 minutes, earn as many Meteorite Iron Points as you can.
The Leaderboard is based solely on the points collected within this round by individuals or alliances.
Meteorite Landing
When a meteorite lands, it will create black and yellow soil zones centered around the capitol.
Warning: All player bases within the meteorite’s range will be knocked away.
Please be careful! Players whose bases are knocked away will receive 1 Alliance Teleporter as compensation.
Main things you should know:
- Meteorites crash periodically creating new Debris, Crystals and Stellar Core
- Once you you gather Crystals and Stellar Core and they are brought back to your base, they keep generating Meteorite Iron points, but this makes you a target for other commanders. Other commanders will attack your base to plunder those Crystals and Stellar Cores
Meteorite Iron Shards: Found in the Yellow Soil zone. You can collect them even with your shield active.
Meteorite Crystals: Found in the Black Soil zone. To collect them, you must turn off your shield.
Stellar Core: Found near the Capitol. To collect them, you must turn off your shield.
Check out this video in which the whole round 1 takes place, starting from the landing of the meteorite.
Prep Stage
The time between two contest stages will show the landing point of the next meteor and the warzones aiming to seize it.
Display Stage
Once all contest stages are completed, the Display Stage begins, when individual and alliance leaderboard rewards are settled.

Rewards
When the original meteorite lands do you lose anything? If we’re in the path should we move before it gets here?
If you are in the meteorite impact zone you simply will be teleported away. It should not cause damage
Would it be wise to move before impact?
If you want to end up with all your teammates and so facilitate rallies and stuff like that then yes, else I don’t think there is much of an impact, you will simply be teleported away.
How often is this event
It has not a fixed schedule yet as far as I know.
Use the 60sek-Bomb (engineer skill) once you have collected plenty blue Minerals. You are portet to the rim of the map outside the mud but you dont loose the collected Minerals. So you can just wait without danger of beeing robbed while your Minerals produce points
Does the instant gathering skill work on the meteorite mines?
I don’t think it will work on that. But I never tested it.
