It's always disheartening when a beloved feature is removed from your favorite pastime, whether it's in gaming, on the tabletop, or elsewhere. However, today marks a joyous occasion as a fan-favorite feature makes its triumphant return! Conflict of Nations: WW3 is bringing back the highly acclaimed clan vs clan battles through the introduction of Elite Challenges.
How does it work? Elite Challenges are team-based battles where alliances can go head-to-head in epic wars of strategy. What sets these challenges apart is that they require participants to be at least rank 25 and prohibit the use of gold, the game's premium currency. This ensures that the focus remains on skill and strategic prowess rather than financial investment.
For fans of Conflict of Nations, this is the ultimate test of skill and strategy. To celebrate the return of this feature, two challenge maps, the Mediterranean and Antarctica, will be available. These matches will differ from standard games as players will start with 2x resources, production, and access to the tech tree by day 10, allowing for larger armies and more diverse technology usage.
I think it's safe to say why Elite Challenges were so beloved by the player base. However, as Dorado Games has noted, implementing this mode became increasingly challenging as their player base grew. Additionally, the fact that this mode completely eliminates the use of premium currency, ensuring a level playing field, is something that nearly all players will appreciate.
