Q: will we get to test Clan Wars in beta?
-
A: Perhaps, the answer won't make you happy, but clan wars mode is unlikely to be added into the game with the next patch [patch 0.5]. We have been working on this for a long time and have managed to implement some really great ideas. I hope you will enjoy this. But we just need more time to polish it up. At the moment the game in whole seems to be not buggy, we don't want to change the current lie of the land by introducing some unfinished stuff into the game.

Fact: Some tastiest territories will bring additional revenue in gold (I can't tell the frequency of gold assignment). Moreover, there is also some “economy” and “crafting”, along with monetary revenues; clans can build factories, which produce special tanks and tank components/ammo over time.

Fact: Some players may choose to become mercenaries rather than being in a clan. There is a Mercenary market, where Clan Masters can recruit such players for reinforcing their clans in Clan Wars or other events.

Fact: There are several economic categories of provinces, from basic ones to “capitals” that will give most monetary benefits to their owners.

Fact: New clans enter the map by having a chance to fight a battle for one of the “coastal” provinces. If they kick the owner out, that province will be their new home, from where they will expand deep into the continent.

Why is the SU-8 so bad at firing targets? I had a target zoned in for 12 seconds and it missed the heavy tank. Makes me wonder how will I grind ~110,000 experience for the SU-14.

Anyone make nicknames for tanks?
SU-14 (Schoolbus)
S-51 (Walrus)

Ferrose, I'm willing to play, depends on what tanks you have.
