// SCORING SYSTEM

Three Ways to Score

Points come from three sources. Don't focus on just one — the leaderboard rewards mixed contribution.

Combat. Attack or Defend the Fortress. Points are Glory-based.

Occupation. Hold the Fortress. Points depend on duration and fleet power — More Power = More Points. Park your heaviest fleet for max yield.

Resilience. Points for damage TAKEN in the Level 9 system. Yes, getting hit pays. Tank squads have a real role.

// PRO TIPS

Title Optimization

How to actually extract value from the title system. Most players waste their slot — don't.

Launch Rule (CRITICAL): You must hold the title at the START of the action to get the buff. If you start a construction with the title, the buff remains active even if you lose the title immediately after.

Server Etiquette. On healthy servers, titles are set to "Auto-accept". This creates a queue where each person has 5 minutes. Join the queue, wait your turn, launch upgrades, then let the next person in.

Internal Affairs: Take this before starting new trade routes.

Military Counsellor: Take this before ship production batches.

Construction / Research: MANDATORY before long-term upgrades. The launch rule means you only need to hold the buff for 1 second to get the full duration discount.
