How will the Meteorite Fight work?

Day 1: Research Labs R1/R2/R3 are open to fight.

Day 2-4: All buildings, except the R5, will be open for fighting. However, you will only be eligible to contest buildings linked by a road to a building you own before the fight of the day starts.

When a fight is ongoing in a research lab, mines with levels from 1 to 3 will appear. You can speed up to get there first, your troops can also be attacked on mines as they function like normal resource tiles.

Note: For this event you’ll be able to launch rallies of 30 seconds, 1, 2, or 5 minutes, so do take it into account when launching your last rallies on the buildings. All outside buffs take effect within this gameplay, but the specific event building bonuses work only inside the event and not outside.

Day 5 - Battle of Glory

After each day of fighting, your alliance will get points for the number of buildings you are holding, at the end of the Meteorite Fight, the alliance with the highest points on both sides will face each other for the final battle over the Amethyst Research Hub.

The Hub looks like the Capital, one main building surrounded by four towers that you will have to fight over it for an hour while still collecting mines. During that fight, the other research labs will not be reopened and will be safe on your side. The bonuses from the auxiliary buildings will be in action, so be careful to defend them before the fight starts.

Mines will appear again and will need to be collected to charge the energy tower linked to the Hub for you to get the additional boosts and skills.

This fight works like those from all other research labs, ownership goes to the alliance with the longest occupation time.

Additional notes

Instant healing will be available in MM once you have built the Regen Lab as an auxiliary building. This allows you to recover wounded soldiers in the hospital without costing you resources or speed-ups.

It will have a 1h cooldown, and you’ll be able to use it by accessing it directly in the Regen Lab.

Relocation Rules:

Only the Targeted Relocation skill can be used for relocation.

Recharges every 15 minutes, with a maximum of 3 charges available
