So I decided to do a little write up about Lvl 100 areas. I haven't found too much info about this so far. I did find some info on Batheo Wikia, and some information is from personal experience. I will try to be as specific as possible here, with some examples where needed. First of all it is important to know what Faction Occupation exactly means:
Faction Occupation Rate
So im going to use Balmoth's explanation on this, because it is the best explanation I have seen so far.
Occupation rate has nothing to do with the players present in a area, but resembles more shares of a company. In the same way if someone holds more shares than anyone else they become the boss a company, the same happens with factions and occupation rate.
When your Faction Occupation Rate exceeds that of other factions in a area, this area will be occupied by your own faction.(Example Poseidon has 40% Zeus 30% and Athens 30%. The area will belong to Poseidon)
There are 3 ways of increasing Faction Occupation Rate in a City:
1) Investing > every maximum investment (10 Prosperity) will count as 1% faction occupation rate.
2) Attacking > every 2 succesfull attacks will count as 1% faction occupation rate
3) Area Battles > every succesfull Area battle where your faction is the attacking side gives 20% faction occupation rate.
Why are cities so important?
Simple. The more cities you have as a faction, the more space available for players. Imagine your faction has 1 level 100 city, while an oppsing faction has 6 cities. Your faction has to share all the silver mines and farms available in your city. the opposing faction has 6 cities where they can split up so they all have enough farms and mines to quickly progress in the game.
If you didn't already know, Level 100 Areas have special Traits that differentiate them from eachother. It is quite important to know what the Traits do, and which ones are the most important to your faction. I will first list the game definition, and after that explain it a little more thorough. I will also state the importance of each Area Trait.
Level 100 Area Traits
Every faction will be given 5 Level 100 Areas. They all come with a different Area Trait.
Upon unlocking level 100 Areas, the cooldown of relocation between two Lvl 100 areas becomes 3 hours.
Political Center:
Importance: -
"Occupation not Allowed". This means that this city can never be occupied by a different Faction. You should look at these cities as the "safe" places. This is the city to move over to when you move from lvl 80 to a lvl 100 area. no matter how weak you are, none of the opposing factions can exploit this weakness, simply because they cannot occupy the city. I will explain more about faction occupation later. As this city cannot be occupied it is unimportant.
Economic Center:
Importance: Low Importance
"Investment in this area can double Faction Occupation Rate". Whenever you invest in this city, your investment will give 2% instead of 1%. This is one of the easier cities to defend, but the Area Trait doesn't offer much offensive-wise.
Cultural Center:
Importance: Low Importance
"Gamers of different Factions can relocate to this Area". No matter which Faction is in control, you can move over to this city whenever you want (you cannot refine in this city when it doesn't belong to your faction). I personally consider these cities as unimportant, just because everyone can move into them. They are easy to overtake and don't offer many advantages other than extra space for your faction. You also have to watch out for opposing factions moving in, as the stronger players can colonize you and take your farms and mines at all times.
Trade Center:
Importance: Very important
"Gamers of this Area can invest in other Lv 100 Areas". This city allows you to attack every single city on the map through investing. Even in Winter this city can invest in cities of other factions, to gain Faction Occupation. This makes it a very important to have. these are also one of the hardest cities to defend.
Military Center:
Importance: Very important
"Attacking players from this area will double the Faction Occupation Rate". This means whenever you are located in this city, all your attacks will count as 1% faction occupation. Generally you want the strongest players of the faction in this city. They can easily occupy a city in a day or two depending on how many players are in this city.
Investing
Investing gives you Faction occupation in the city you are currently located in (with trade centers as exception). Every 10 Prosperity investment gives 1% faction occupation rate. A gamer can invest 3 times a day. the cost of 10 prosperity starts at 16,000 drachmas, and will go up whenever the prosperity moves up. However more Prosperity also gives more drachmas whenever you levy.
Investing also gives a gamer Prestige. the formula for this is:
Level of gamer x 2 x Prosperity = Amount of Prestige
lets say you are level 40, and you choose the option of 10 prosperity: 40 x 2 x 10 = 800 prestige.
Area Battles:
These battles become available when you reach lvl 60 Area, so you might be familiar with them.
There are a couple of requirements to launch an area battle:
- Minimum amount of players in the area must be 5.
- Hostility must be yellow (Bully) or higher.
There is no way to check your hostility, other than asking someone from a different faction.
im going to explain how area battles work in an example:
You are a poseidon in lvl 100 Area, located in Taenarum. there are 2 Area battles in Autumn:
Athens VS Taenarum
Taenarum VS Olympia
the First battle is against Athens (athenian). They are the attacking side. If you lose this Area battle you will be losing 20% faction occupation. If you win this battle, you keep your faction occupation and nothing really happens.
The second battle is against Olympia(athenian), You are the attacking side. if you win this battle, you obtain 20% faction occupation in Olympia. if you lose nothing happens.
As you can see, whenever you are on the attacking side, you can never lose faction occupation. If your faction lacks a lot of strong players, try to make sure you only have a maximum of 4 players in every city as to avoid area battles.
I hope this kind of covered everything? there may be some mistakes, feel free to point this out to me. if stuff is missing, feel free to post it here.
hope this helps![[Image: smile.png]](http://forum.clapalong.com/images/smilies/smile.png)
