Bases in World War Online
World War Online features several types of bases, each with its own purpose and strategic importance:
- Headquarters Base - Your primary base that provides Iron production
- Capital Bases - Strategic conquest points (see more in Capital Warfare)
- Military Bases - Enhance unit training capabilities
- Resource Bases - Generate various resources (Money, Food, Brick)
- Mine Bases - Specialized in Iron production
Base Construction Costs
Building bases requires WWO-Influence, with the cost varying by type:
- Military Base: 2 WWO-Influence (fixed cost)
- Resource Base: 4 WWO-Influence (base cost)
- Mine Base: 8 WWO-Influence (base cost)
Important: The cost of Resource and Mine bases increases based on how many resource bases you already have. For every 2 resource/mine bases you own, the cost increases by 1 WWO-Influence:
| Number of Resource/Mine Bases | Resource Base Cost | Mine Base Cost |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 4 | 8 |
| 2 | 4 | 10 |
| 3 | 5 | 12 |
| 4 | 5 | 14 |
| 5 | 6 | - |
| 6 | 6 | - |
| 7 | 7 | - |
| 8 | 7 | - |
| 9 | 8 | - |
| 10 | 8 | - |
Cost Calculation: - Resource Bases: +1 WWO cost for every 2 resource bases - Mine Bases: +2 WWO cost for each additional mine base
Note: You are limited to a maximum of 10 Resource bases and 4 Mine bases per player.
Headquarters Base
Upon creating an account in World War Online, you will receive a Headquarters Base placed randomly in the territory of your Country, which cannot be relocated.
The Headquarters Base is your primary base that provides a steady Iron production and also acts as a Military Base, producing units. Upgrading your Headquarters allows you to increase your Resource Production and Increase your Daily Steal Capacity. Although your Headquarters can be raided, it cannot be Conquered or Destroyed.
How to Upgrade your Headquarters Base
Your Headquarters Base can be upgraded to increase its' benefits, namely to increase the production of Iron.
You can upgrade your Headquarters using Iron, and everytime it levels up you will get some XP besides increasing the Iron Production. If you want to accelerate the upgrade process, you can use WWO-Influence, the in-game currency of World War Online.
The production rate depends on the level of the Headquarters Base, where a higher level base produces more resources. Your production rate also dictates the amount of units that you can have in your army, as units have Upkeep.
Note: Experience (XP) values shown are approximate and increase exponentially with each level.
