Have there been any Recent Advances?
In what has been the swiftest of all PlanetWars seasons, Humanity Rising completely eliminated forces of Synthetic Hegemony, leaving it no place to hide.
Humans once again rule the world!
In total 64 people participated in 130 battles over 2 days.
Thanks to all involved, and kudos to brave defenders of Hegemony who fought to the bitter end!
PlanetWars has begun and both factions are burning their way through the galaxy. In a mere two hours both factions have successfully captured their first planet.
If you are level 10 or above sign up to a faction, invade a planet and join the conquest. If you not level 10 then sign up anyway, play several more ordinary games and then invade planets.
Check out the main view to attack planets through the site, view the current state of the galaxy and see who has the initiative and for how long. Initiative and attacking have ZKL integration but be warned, a strange Nightwatch error can cause the times displayed in ZKL to be incorrect.
Make sure that at least one member of your faction has read the manual.
A recently banned troll has been setting up accounts sending automated malicious PMs. We are mass-banning as fast as we can and looking into more long-term solutions. Please bear with us as this is sorted out.
The Synthetic Pact has finally overcome the Dynasty of Man, and the human resistance has scattered. Reforging as the Sythetic Hegemony, they now seek to eradicate the last pockets of human resistance, who have rallied around the banner of Humanity Rising to fight this final struggle for the survival of biological humankind.
Rumor has it that the humans are dead. This is in fact not so! With the Synthetic Pact quickly catching on we have no other option but to announce PlantWars 13.
PlanetWars is planned to begin at 1pm UTC Tuesday 17th of September. That is approximately 21 hours from this news post. Use the intervening time to join a faction or clan and draft some strategy. Elections are open for the 3 leadership roles available to each faction.
This iteration on PlanetWars is more hardcore than previous versions. It involves organized 2v2 and 3v3 games fought to attack or defend a planet. Level 10 is required to join to prevent new players being thrown into the deep end (and smurfs). But to those who are not sure they are good enough at small teamgames; if you are willing to learn from members of your faction you will probably learn rapidly.
For a detailed look consult the recently updated manual.
