Territory War!

Decent TW Guide from the PWI forums.


Territory War Introduction
Territory War is one of the mid- to end-game features of Perfect World International. The Kingdom Map can be accessed through the World Map. The land is made of 44 territories, with divided into three grades. Archosaur and Thousand Streams make up the two level 1 territories. The four other cities, Ethersword, Plume, Lost, and Dreamweaver, make up the four level 2 territories. The remaining thirty eight territories are level 3.


Territory War Incentive
Level 3 Territories provide 10,000,000 per week occupied, level 2 Territories 20,000,000 per week occupied, and level 1 Territories 30,000,000 per week occupied. Payment is sent by in-game mail to the guildmaster every Friday at noon, server time.

Members of the ruling guild pay no fee to teleport to the territory they occupy. Teleport by selecting the territory from the Kingdom Map accessed though the World Map. Free teleport uses the Town Portal skill, which has a 1 hour cooldown time.



Territory War Rules
Declaration of War time is fixed every week. [Time to be updated].


The Guildmaster can declare war at the "Battle Coordinator NPC" in any of the six cities.
It is possible for any eligible guild member to enter territory war at the "Battle Coordinator NPC" or any one of the 45 teleporter NPCs on the map.

Each week, a guild can only attack one territory.
*A guild with no territory can only attack a level 3 territory.
*A guild with territory, can only attack neighboring territories.
*To take a level 2 territory, a guild needs to control two territories, with at least one bordering the level 2 territory.
*To take a level 1 territory, a guild needs to control three territories, with at least one bordering the level 1 territory.

Only players who have been in the guild for 100 hours are eligible by the Perfect World battle system to enter the Territory War battlefield. The cut off date is Monday at 4:00PM (20:00) server time.

Starting bids for a level 3 territory is 500,000, a level 2 territory is 1 million, and a level 1 territory is 2 million. A minimum of 100,000 is required to outbid another guild for the right to battle. Bidding will be extended by 20 minutes from each bid past the Territory War declaration period, up to two hours.

After winning a Territory War battle, a maximum of 90% of the bid up to to a limit of the 180,000 gold return cap for the territory will be refunded. Refund amount by the Perfect World system is dependent on the number and average level of guild members that have been in the guild for over 100 hours and logged in at least once per week.

There are 7 scheduled times of 3 hours duration for Territory War, and 7 slots for each time. The Territory War system can schedule 3 battle declarations against one guild owning 3 or more territories at the same time. We are only allowed to defend 3 times in all for 9 battles per week.

Territory War Basic Information and Strategy Pt. 3 of 4
Territory War In An Occupied Territory

In Territory War between guilds, both sides will have a base with a Central Building that looks like a crystal on a platform. The attacker's base on the map and play names will be red, and the defenders will be blue. Destroying the Central Building of the opposing base will lead to instant victory. At the end of three hours, the defenders will keep their territory if no bases have been destroyed. Bases have high health and are defended by powerful turrets, but enemy catapults have high damage against defensive structures. The ordinary strategic goal then, is to send catapults into the enemy base, while defending against against enemy catapults.


The battlefield is 1 km square with the bases diagonally placed, and has 3 paths leading to the 3 gates on each base. Catapults are only able to travel along the paths, to reach the opposing base.


Each base is a stronghold with three gates, that consists of:
*One central crystal building, which if destroyed, will result in the immediate victory of the one who destroyed the crystal.
*Two powerful guard towers protecting the respawn point.
*4 Arrow Tower construction points. There are 14 Construction points for each side, where one of three types of towers can be built. Four are inside the stronghold, two each are outside each gate, and two are on the central path out, and one each on the side paths. After a tower is destroyed, it cannot be rebuilt.
*Territory war merchant, who sells catapult control scrolls and can repair and has potions. One is needed each time in order to take control of a catapult.
*Four Catapults that can be taken into the enemy base with a catapult control scroll.

Battlefield system rules:
1. Upon entering the battlefield, chi is set to zero. Embrace is not enabled.
2. It is possible to jump, but not to fly. It's possible and suggested to use mounts for scouting.
3. Death on the battlefield will not cause experience loss. Resurrection, revival or res-pawn at the entry point, are all available on the battlefield. Revival or re-spawn will cause a 30 second seal state where it is not possible to attack or use skills.
4. If a client is disconnected, it's possible to reenter the battlefield by talking to a "Battle Coordinator NPC" or teleporter NPC.
5. It is unnecessary to press CTRL or change PK status in order to attack opposing players in Territory War.
6. Friendly players and catapults will display on the mini-map. Enemy players and catapults are hidden from the mini-map.

Victory conditions:
If the offensive guild's Central Building is destroyed, then the defender wins.
If the defender's Central Building is destroyed, then the attacked wins.
If three hours pass, with no Central Building being destroyed, then the defender will win.

To use the catapult, click on the catapult to select it as the target. Use the catapult scroll, either from the inventory by right clicking (for right hand mouse users) or by hot-keying the scroll. It takes five seconds to activate the catapult. The catapult will follow the player automatically. Each player can only control one catapult. Each side can only have have a maximum of four catapults. Catapults which are destroyed will respawn at the base to which it belongs. Catapults will only attack enemy buildings.
2. The catapult will follow the player at a speed of 6 m/sec. If the catapult falls too far being the player, the catapult will go out of control of the player, and stop moving. Another catapult scroll will then be needed to reactivate the catapult. When a player stops moving, the catapult will automatically start attacking any enemy building within range. (Default attack priority is first Arrow Towers, Teleport Columns, and then the Central Building. Players can not take the initiative to select targets, but they can choose the appropriate location to bring the catapults to attack specific targets to achieve the objective).

Central Building
The health of the Central Building is 12 million HP, and physical and magic defense is 100,000. Health regenerates completely every two hours.

Teleport Columns
There are four Teleport Columns on the battlefield at Arrow Tower locations 1,5,6,10 along the three paths between the bases. Target them, and choose the dialogue to bind their location. Only one Teleport Column can be bound at a time. To bind a new one, manually delete the Transfer Column binding quest from the quest list.

The binded Teleport Column is linked to the Teleport Portal inside the home base. The Teleport Portal can only send the player who bound it. It cannot send catapults. After transporting, the Transport Column binding quest is completed. Retarget and bind the Teleport Column to rebind its location.

The Teleport Column can be destroyed by the enemy. If the Teleport Column is destroyed, it will automatically renew itself after five minutes.


P.S. Having a flying pet is an old but handy trick. If the people your fighting dont use Tab to select people. The flying pet makes you harder to target.[url][/url]
