Conquering Bases
Conquer attacks allow you to take ownership of enemy bases using the General tactical unit. This is how you expand your territory and capture strategic positions including Capital Bases.
How Conquering Works
To conquer a base:
- Include a General in your attack force
- Achieve a Decisive Victory in the battle
- General must survive the 11 waves of combat
- The base becomes yours upon victory
Important: The General is consumed after successfully conquering a base - plan your conquests strategically.
What You Can Conquer
| Base Type | Can Conquer? | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Resource Bases | Yes | Level is preserved |
| Mine Bases | Yes | Level is preserved |
| Military Bases | Yes | Level is preserved |
| Capital Bases | Yes | Awards squad and player points |
| Headquarters | No | Cannot be conquered |
Level Preservation
When you conquer a base, its level is maintained:
- Conquering a Level 10 resource base gives you Level 10 production immediately
- This makes high-level enemy bases valuable conquest targets
- You save the Brick and time that would be needed to upgrade from scratch
Base Limits
You cannot conquer a base if you've reached your limit for that type:
| Base Type | Maximum Limit |
|---|---|
| Headquarters | 1 (cannot conquer) |
| Resource Bases | 10 |
| Mine Bases | 4 |
| Military Bases | 5 |
| Capital Bases | No player limit |
General Types
Two General variants can conquer bases:
| General | Description |
|---|---|
| General | Standard conquest unit |
| General Boxer | Special variant with unique abilities |
Both are consumed upon successful conquest.
