Alliance Wars Early Access

[Jay]

Please let me know if anyone is currently not matched in a War! Our belief is that we have a glitch which makes us tell people for one day (incorrectly) that they are not matched for the upcoming War. This only happens in certain scheduling circumstances.

So if anyone is still seeing that they are not matched, please let us know! Our records seem to indicate that everyone is matched up and duking it out, but correct us if we have missed something.

And thank you all for the lively discussion on daily Wars vs 2-day Wars! This is helpful.

Hi WORM and Demigod ! Cool, it sounds like you've sent the message to Support and no, it is not too late! That message to Support will be crucial since they'll want to verify that the person sending it is the Leader.

In case anyone else is wondering about sign-up, this is how it works:



It's as good a time as any to mention again that this is still in an Early Access phase and things are subject to change! (Very subject to change -- we're gathering data and figuring things out!)

Hello Jay...
I'd like to say that after a lot of these talks and discussion over here... 1 day wars should be back or there should be double the usage of Gods... You can definitely assert your own choice and maybe for the people who really care abt daily profit a lot(like me) you can give a fraction of the awards one would get of the base rewarding despite the result... After the first 1000 trophies are gained upon the usage of All gods twice

Also Highly appreciate your efforts during this time... I believe that your absence meant more work for the AW wide release which makes me more and more curious and excited...
All the best!!
We support you

Are there any immediate plans to change it back to 1 day wars, or to keep the current reward structure if it does? My clan's already lost interest and it's really showing.

Greeting Gods of Olympus players!

We have exciting news to share with you all! Our team has been hard at work developing a brand new feature, Alliance Wars, and we're now ready to bring it into Early Access testing. If you're interested in trying out this new addition and providing valuable feedback, we'd love to have you join us.

Please keep in mind that the Alliance Wars feature is still in a testing state and there may be bugs present. If you choose to participate in this Early Access, be prepared for some bugs and unexpected hiccups along the way. The set of participating alliances will start out small, so most of these early Wars are virtually guaranteed to be huge mismatches. Additionally, it's possible that your Alliance's status in the War feature may be reset or changed during the testing process.

If you'd rather wait until the fully-baked version of Alliance Wars is ready, that's okay! The Early Access is for the slightly adventurous. Once the feature is in general release, it will be available to all qualifying Alliances.

But, if you're up for the challenge and eager to be a part of shaping the future of Gods of Olympus, we'd love to have you. To join the Alliance Wars Early Access, simply have your Alliance leader use the in-game Email Support feature to let us know of your interest. Again, please make sure it is the Alliance leader who writes in, so that we can be sure they speak for the whole Alliance.

The Early Access will begin some time in the next couple of weeks, a bit after version 4.9 ships.

For those of you interested, we're thrilled to have you join us! Thanks for helping with the development of Alliance Wars.

Description of War

Here is a high-level overview of War. There could be issues that cause us not to adhere to these behaviors, but this is a description of how things are intended to work.

Each day, two Alliances are matched up in War.

Once War begins, any player may attack any of their opponent's cities. Only one attack can begin on a given city at any time.

Throughout the War, each god in your Pantheon may be selected for deployment only once. Once you select a set of gods to attack a city, those gods can't be used again in this War, even if you don't deploy them in battle. They will appear grayed out when you are planning future attacks.

Damage you cause to a city accumulates from battle to battle. If you attempt to destroy a City but lose, any buildings that you destroyed will be removed, leaving the City more vulnerable to the next attack. This allows you to plan to take out very tough cities using multiple attacks if you feel that is the best strategy.

Each City is worth a certain number of War Stars. When an opponent's City is destroyed, your side will be awarded these War Stars, increasing your team's score. The side with the highest number of War Stars at the end of the War is declared the winner.

All alliances are ranked into a series of War Tiers for matchmaking purposes. These are represented with names like Stone 1, Stone 2, Gold 1, etc.

You can be matched for War with any Alliance in your Tier or, if there are no opponents for you in your own Tier, another City from the closest neighboring War Tier.

When you win a War, you will be raised by 1 War Tier. If you lose the War, you will be lowered by 1 War tier, making fluctuation pretty normal (unless you are at the very top of very bottom.)

About 15 minutes after the match ends, we will send out the rewards you have earned in the War. In order to get rewards, you must participate by attacking in the War. To maximize rewards, you should make sure to use your entire Pantheon to support your Alliance in the goal of maximizing your War Stars.

okay…I found this, finally!
thanks!

Hi all! Quick schedule and reward update.

The Early Access will now be returning to a daily War schedule! Beginning today, you should begin to see a War starting each day. And each of these Wars will last for 23 hours.

War Rewards have also been adjusted. Each 1-day War will pay less than each 2-day War, but will pay more than the previous cycle of 1-day Wars. (Rewards have been increased by 20% over the previous 1-day Wars.)

This also means that total weekly rewards for players who participate each day will be higher than the 2-day War schedule that we have been on.

Hope that's pretty clear, but please let us know if you have any questions!

not sure if this is still relevant. But we at Dingens haven‘t been matched on 31st of may as well as the week before the one day multiple Players already reported on that.

we also welcome the Return of Daily AW while we would appreciate the Bonus would stay the same as for 2 day AW.

[Olympia]

Thanks Jay and leroy ! I was not expecting higher rewards so I really appreciate the 20% increase
Finally I can enjoy the game a bit more than lately!

I noticed an interface tweak that could be made. If an opponent does not have a full alliance, there is a ton of blank space above their top bases. Like pages of blank territory. Would be nice if the map stopped right above their top base.

And thanks for the switch back to 1 day wars!

Yeah lol sometimes you are kinda lost in the space there trying to look for the base you hit
Can the notifications of The Alliance war defences come saying that they are attacks of the Alliance war? Please?

[Jauni]

Apologies if this has already been covered.
Do we know what happened to Thanatos weekly challenge, I noticed it came before Hecate weekly challenge and now has gone. Is it coming back anytime soon?

i think it was a teaser thing and they removed it because it was still buggy. I believe it will be released in the major update after alliance war is officially released.

[King Rupert]

Why aren't the stars awarded uniform based on the level of the base you are attacking? In our current war (RDS 2.0), we get 11 stars if we defeat a level 95 base. But our opponent gets 24 stars for defeating one of our level 95 bases.

I assume this is some kind of war balancing mechanism? Why not let all bases of a certain level be worth the same number of stars for everyone? The current system seems unpredictable which makes it frustrating.

The different war league levels should be all that's required to get different alliances moved to a level that's competitive for them.
