Not to be confused with sieges
Assaults are short battles fought between nations over assault regions, areas of the map which award their controlling nations with passive daily income and items (which are counted as extra nation resources).
- Assault regions can only be attacked during their attack window. Each assault region has 1-2 attack windows per week.
- There are two types of assaults: PvP and Movecraft. PvP assaults are fought as conventional PvP fights, whereas Movecraft assaults are fought using Movecraft vehicles and warships ('crafts').

¶ Theaters of War
- Most regions are part of one or more theaters of war. If a nation controls every region of a theater, they receive additional rewards.
- More information about theaters, including their current control status, can be viewed using

¶ Points
An assault involves two sides: attackers and defenders.
- The attackers are the nation which initiated the assault and their allies.
- The defenders are the nation which initiated the assault and their allies.
The objective for both sides is to earn the most points during the assault. How these are earned depends on the type of assault.
¶ Assault Progression
While there are differences between PvP and Movecraft assaults, they follow the same progression:
- Beginning: To begin an assault, a player with the nation rank of
leader,coleaderorgeneralmust enter the assault region during its attack window and type/assault begin <region name>. - Preparation: Immediately after the siege begins, the Preparation phase will begin. Points cannot be earned during the Preparation phase.
- Active: Preparation is followed by the Active phase, during which points can be earned.
- Winner Declared: At the conclusion of the Active phase, the side which earned the most points is declared as the winner of the assault.
¶ Movecraft Assaults
In a Movecraft assault, the attackers and defenders fight using Movecraft crafts.
The assault starter must be piloting a craft type that is allowed to begin assaults at the region. For example, the Sahara region only allows Tank and Heavy Tank pilots to begin an assault.
Points are awarded by:
- Sinking enemy crafts which have entered the region.
- Capping by keeping a friendly craft inside the region.
¶ Capping
A side will earn 8 points per second if it has at least one craft inside the assault region. Bringing additional crafts will not increase the number of points earned.
- Submarines cannot earn points through capping.
¶ Sinking
Both sides earn points by sinking enemy crafts inside the region. Even if a craft leaves the region after entering, it will still lose points when sunk. The points earned from sinking a craft is determined by its type.
| Craft Type | Points from Sinking |
|---|---|
| Corvette | 2000 |
| Armed Merchantman | 2000 |
| Destroyer | 4000 |
| Cruiser | 5000 |
| Dreadnought | 7000 |
| Aircraft Carrier | 7000 |
| Submarine | 3000 |
| Tank | 300 |
| Heavy Tank | 600 |
| Fighter | 150 |
| Bomber | 200 |
| Truck | 300 |
| Zeppelin | 500 |
¶ Piloting Cooldown
During naval assaults, releasing or being sunk in a craft that entered the assault region will prevent you from piloting crafts again for 10 minutes.
However, this does not apply if you are piloting a Submarine, Aircraft Carrier, Fighter or Bomber.
¶ War Chest
When a craft is sunk during an Movecraft Assault, it increases the assault's war chest by ($0.3 x size of craft) – equivalent to the cost of printing the craft using a Shipyard.
A craft sinking only increases the war chest if:
- The siege is in the active phase (i.e., not Preparation)
- The craft is fully inside the assault region
- The killing blow was landed by an enemy craft
¶ PvP Assaults
In a PvP assault, the attackers and defenders vie for kills and capping flags placed around the region. Movecraft vehicles cannot enter PvP assault regions during ongoing assaults.
Points are awarded by:
- Killing enemy players.
- Capping the flags.
The values for the actions described below may vary by region and can be viewed in-game using /aregion info <region name>.
¶ Participation
Like with sieges, the following requirements must be met in order to participate in a PvP assault:
- You must have at least 9 loyalty towards your current nation.
- You must have the
soldierrank in your current nation.
¶ Capping
Stand next to a flag to begin capturing it. Holding a flag will earn your side points every second. The colour of the beacon beam will change depending on who controls the flag.
¶ Killing
Kill enemy players inside the assault region to earn points. This will also increase the assault war chest.
¶ Teleportation
As soon as a PvP assault begins, participants can teleport to the region using /assault teleport <region name>. They will spawn at their side's respective spawn point. This action has a short cooldown.
¶ Keep Inventory
Keep inventory is disabled inside assault regions during the Preparation phase. During the Active phase, they use the siege keep inventory system.
