Extracting Maximum Power

To improve your strength, create three mono-class squads. Configure Team 1 with your strongest Infantry hero in position 2 and add 100% Infantry troops. Repeat this for Cavalry and Archers.

Once your three best squads are set, check if you have enough troops to create additional mono-class squads. If you have leftover troops, deploy your best available heroes (following the Position 1 rule) and rank them from strongest to weakest. Fill the squad with the troop type of the strongest hero first, then fill remaining slots with the next troop type.

Regarding Blue Heroes: They are useful for gathering but offer no combat benefits. Use them only in Position 3 to fill space. NEVER place them in Position 1 unless gathering.

• Radiance 1+: Launch rallies at the start.
• Level 30-: Prioritize joining all available rallies first.
• After 2 minutes, if troops remain, launch a rally using your best units (adhering to the Position 1 hero rule).
• Final Push: With 7 minutes remaining, everyone should launch a rally to ensure high turnover, as no rallies can be initiated in the final moments.

30 minutes before the event, activate:

• [Beasts]: Terror Gaze, The Howler.
• [City]: Squad Lethality, Squad Attack, Enemy Defense.

Essential mechanics to maximize alliance points, coins, and reward progression. Inactivity is heavily penalized and requires strict coordination when deploying reinforcements.

1. Attack Dynamics & Troop Sharing

• Online Targets: Enemies will strictly attack players who are currently active. Share your troops with those who are online.
• Emptied City Strategy: You gain extra points if your troops are defending another player's city. Therefore, completely empty your city by sending reinforcements to online allies.
• Initial Exception: If the event has started and you haven't received any reinforcements yet, temporarily keep troops in your city, but notify the chat immediately so you can be reinforced as well.
• Dynamic Deployment: If you have already dispatched your troops to other cities and notice an active player requesting help because they are empty, recall your troops from the city that has accumulated the most reinforcements and redirect them to the ally in need.

2. Reinforcement Ratio Rule

To maintain balance and ensure coordinated point gains, apply the following criteria:

• If you received reinforcements: You are required to dispatch at least the double of the volume you received to online allies (e.g., if you received 100K, deploy a minimum of 200K).
• If you did NOT receive reinforcements: To secure extra points without weakening your city until you receive incoming reinforcement lines, deploy exactly 1 full march to support the alliance defense.

3. Rewards

Engagements generate individual defense points and alliance defense points (which function as the absolute sum of all members' individual scores). The total accumulated volume of these points directly determines the reward tier unlocked.

4. Headquarters Strategic Defense (Attacks 10 & 20)

During waves 10 and 20, the mechanics shift: individual cities are bypassed, and the Vikings march directly against the Plains HQ.

• Troop Limit Calculation per Player: To guarantee all active members obtain defense points at the HQ, a controlled occupancy threshold is enforced by leadership using the following formula:
  $$\text{Troop Limit} = \frac{\text{HQ Total Capacity}}{\text{Amount of Online Members}}$$
• Frequent Monitoring: Keep a close eye on notifications as this limit threshold may change right before deployment based on active player volume variations.
• Filling Window (Last 30 Seconds): If there are still empty slots remaining with 30 seconds left on the countdown, an announcement will be made in the chat, authorizing immediate deployment of extra troops to top off HQ capacity.
• Recommended Troop Composition: It is highly recommended to configure your marches with 55% Infantry and 45% Cavalry.

5. Critical Tips for Viking Vengeance

• City Troop Limit: Do not overcrowd cities. The maximum recommended limit is 300k troops in reinforcements per city.
• HQ Troop Limit: Do not send a full march to the HQ. The stipulated limit is 72.5k troops per player, ensuring space is distributed and everyone can earn points.
• Archer Restriction: It is prohibited to send Archers to defend or reinforce the HQ.
• Time Logistics: Log in 15 minutes before the event starts to organize marches and facilitate troop rotation and exchange between members.
• Base Defense: Keep your best defensive heroes positioned and saved within your own base during the event.

Strategic gameplay tips to maximize your score and resource acquisition in Eternity's Reach.

1. Early Focus (Cesares)

• Completely ignore mines at the start of the map. Focus exclusively on eliminating "Cesares" using all march queues and the quick search function.

2. Upgrade Order (Progression Path)

• First Priority: Unlock both upgrades on the right side to secure the bonus of 1500 gold per Cesare eliminated and +25% movement speed.
• Second Priority: Only when the third upgrade becomes available, unlock the left upgrade, which grants 5000 points per mine capture.

3. Mine Strategy

• Mines reset every 1 minute. Send a march queue to occupy a mine and order immediate return once the occupation is computed, repeating this cycle minute by minute.
• First Ore Drops: When any standard mine is occupied for the first time, it drops three ore piles on the ground. Collecting these piles provides a massive score increase.

4. Fracture Veins Phase

• When the 20-second warning for fracture veins appears, recall all your march queues and prepare to capture as many of them as possible during the 3 waves of this phase.

5. Final Phase (Center)

• As the central building opens, teleport your base to its side and send your army to try to maintain control of the center for at least 8 seconds.

6. Teleport (TP) Usage

• Change position immediately if your current area is overcrowded or too close to a high-investment player (whale).
