The One About Colony War - Part 2

Recap about Colony War - Part 1 here.

As promised, I'm back with more updates on colony wars. The very first colony war which takes place on 8 June 2007, Friday, 2000hrs-2200hrs (GMT+8), lasts for two hours. Based on community feedback of whether or not these 2 hours are optimal, will we then decide the duration of the next colony war.

1) First Colony War - Free For All!

The first colony war is rather significant since ALL territories are unoccupied and free for all factions to attempt to occupy. After a territory's colony has been occupied by a faction, this is a whole new ball game with different dynamics and politics altogether. I will talk more about this in my next entry on Colony wars.

Coming back to Colony War 101, if you press ALT + Right Click on any colony, you will be able to check out its stats. (For those of you who are new to GE, pressing ALT + Right click on any monster in GE enables you to look at its properties and which elements those monsters are weak against.)



















2) Pre-Requisites For Colony War Participation

You need to be in a faction. That's all. Any faction is able to take part, regardless of faction level. There was a rumor going around earlier that the faction level needs to be 52 before being able to participate in faction wars, but it is not true.

After that, all you need to do is to walk up to the colony and give it all you've got on your skill list! Or you could also summon a Valkyrie to help you out in the siege. However, do note that if you summon continuously, only the latest siege weapon with which you summoned will remain.






























3) Colony - I own you!

So after a fierce struggle, the colony has fallen to your faction! A notice will be given whenever a colony is occupied:















(My fave part) The faction name will also be marked on the world map!



















Another significant benefit of owning a colony is that all members of that faction enjoys faction colony's protection of an improvement in HP by 10%:






I'm looking forward in eager anticipation to seeing which of your factions will become legends on the world map on that fateful day of 8 June 2007.

Legends for a week until the next colony war, that is. ;)
