Ok, a while back there was an update on alliance wars. There are now 5 different kinds of wars, Standard war, war of attrition, planetary war, resource war, and war of power.

I know about the War Of Attrition, because they described it in the game updates.

However, how do the other kinds of war work?

not much extensive study has been done, since they are pretty much useless as the attacking force can alter their accounts to maximise their advantage "prewar". It makes it so accepting one is foolish on the defending side.

Even though it would be foolish accepting one, can someone explain all the different types anyway. Tried searching but the results only came up with what a war of attrition was seeing as its in the update section. I don't even know the names of the other ones lol. I know a few people who would like to know the answer to this so any info would be good :)

There are now 5 different kinds of wars
Standard war, standard
planetary war, who can steal the most planets
resource war, who can steal/gain the most from the opponent
war of power. who can maintain the most power statwise
war of attrition, explained in help log

As stated, there has been little to no testing as the attacking force can always attacking force can always adjust their accounts to win, such examples are

1 standard war = no different
2 planetary war = attacking force dumps all no merlind planets prewar
3 resource war = attacking force is smaller so less income, or dumps UU in "other" accounts till wars end so their income is small during the war
4 Attacking force is much bigger or their defenses and ability to regain them are far superior. They could mass the defenders def down first then call for the war, or sabb strikes and such.


proble is they are to defined and can be exploited by the attackers, and the attack force already has to much advantage, thats why no one will accept they.
