Spring Info

Congratulations to clan NC founded by Omygod for winning this round 🙂

After a turbulent start tainted by recreation of Valhalla, Imperium seemed to be firmly on the path to victory.

However Noble Champion’s relentless activity push, paired with higher skill and alliance with reformed Valhalla caused Imperial forces to crumble and lose several key worlds. NC then went for artefacts and achieved swift technologic victory.

Imperium ended second, Valhalla third.

Next season will take some time to prepare due to upcoming faction system and other tweaks. Meanwhile, your feedback and suggestions are welcome!

Due to software failure, lobby user account changes from past few weeks were lost.

However, all your Zero-K XP, unlocks and history is safe and can be restored!

If you are affected, please read these instructions:

Yet another congratulation to Valhalla and Odin for second PlanetWars victory in season 6 🙂

Season 7 is now open!

* you can now buy influence from locals only on planets you own

Season 7 was locked for a few days while we contemplated changes. “Factions” will be added to PlanetWars and each person and clan will belong to one of them.

Factions will share victory goal.

This change might be deployed during this season so start thinking about faction you would join.
