Destroying Bases

Destroy attacks permanently remove enemy bases from the game using Special Forces tactical units. This is the most aggressive action you can take against enemy infrastructure.

How Destruction Works

To destroy a base:

  1. Include Special Forces in your attack force
  2. Achieve a Decisive Victory in the battle
  3. At least one Special Forces survives the combat
  4. The base is permanently destroyed

Important: Special Forces are consumed after successfully destroying a base.

What You Can Destroy

Base Type Can Destroy? Notes
Resource Bases Yes All resource types (Food, Iron, Money, Brick)
Mine Bases Yes High-value Iron targets
Military Bases Yes Deny Special Forces training
Capital Bases No Cannot destroy capitals
Headquarters No Cannot destroy HQ

Permanent Destruction

When a base is destroyed:

  • Completely removed from the game
  • Cannot be rebuilt by any player in that location
  • Resources lost - any stored resources are gone
  • Territory denied - the position is no longer usable

Strategic Uses

  • Destroy enemy resource bases to cripple their economy
  • Target bases producing resources they depend on most
  • Force enemies to rebuild from scratch

Territorial Control

  • Remove enemy forward positions
  • Deny strategic locations near your territory
  • Counter expansion by eliminating newly built bases

Competitive Advantage
