First Pre-Season Week
During the first pre-season week the following elements of the menu appear:
- Season 1 main timeline tile
- Season Boost (Pre-Season)
- Season Preview
Season 1 main timeline tile:
This tile allows you to enter the main Season 1 timeline, but currently only a few buttons are available:
- the i that shows you the story (check the mission section)
- grouping: it reveals which warzones you will face during the season
- rules: it shows only the Week 1 in game manual rules of the game
- rewards: preview of the Season 1 rewards
Season Boost (Pre-Season):
This tile reveals the boosts that will be in effect.
When the Season starts the boosts regarding the heroes will be hidden and they will be shown again when the corresponding hero event happens, enabling the actual corresponding boost.
Season Preview:
The first day, clicking on Season Preview tile will give you a teaser of what that event is about.
For each day of the week, once the goal is met the details are uncovered and you can collect a reward:
Once a goal has been reached you can collect some rewards once, clicking on the chest icon with the red dot:

Capitol Conquest
Day 6 of Week 2 of the Pre-Season the Capitol Conquest will take place.
Since this event happens during the Pre-season period, there is NO need for an alliance to own an adjacent land (city) to participate in the challenge.
So all the alliances can compete for the Capitol, and the winner will stay in the Capitol for the whole off-season period.
A few important notes about this event:
- When the event starts the capitol buffs will not be available until the capture of the Capitol
- When the event starts the president will lose its power and position
- To attack the capitol you will lose the shield as first attackers. Once the capitol is being garrisoned by your alliance, you don’t lose the shield to garrison it
- It is possible to defend the Capitol with up to 100 squads
- It is possible to earn Honor Points only until the stage in which it says “Outcome settled”
CAPITOL CONQUEST RULES:
- During the season, Alliances must hold land directly adjacent to Capitol to participate in the battle after it opens.
- In the pre-season, settlement stage or after the season ends, Alliances can compete for Capito! without needing adjacent territory.
- The battle lasts up to 4 hours. The Alliance that reaches 100% capture progress or has the highest capture progress at the end of the countdown will win.
- The winning Alliance’s leader will be appointed as President.
- Near the Capitol lies Contaminated Land. Entering this area disables radar, shields, and halts all world exploration activities.
One important thing to do is to try to max the Honor points, to do so you can either attack the capitol or send your squads in the mud area to either attack other squads or get attacked by other squads. The more troops you kill or get killed in the mud area the more Honor Points you earn.
End of Pre-Season
Once the Pre-Season ends, based on the countdown available in the Season tile, your server will start the actual Season 1.
