Territory control
A system where players or organizations capture, hold, and use parts of the game world with lasting consequences.
Assessed with methodology module 0.3. The dimensions are independent and do not produce a single score.
The whole game
Presentresearch draft · methodology 0.3 · September 2, 2026 · Product boundary represented by undated first-party material from Wargaming, accessed on 2026-09-02. The source does not establish the contour's state on that date.
Global Map links province capture, Prime Time, income, Headquarters, connected fronts, alliances, and a seasonal political leaderboard.
Assessment scope
- Access cost:
- Unknown
- Product horizon:
- Unknown
Independent dimensions
- Depth:
- 3 of 5 — Developed warfare
- What ownership gives the owner over others:
- Resources or income from the territory itself
- Core experience relevance:
- Unknown
- Observed adoption:
- Unknown— Adoption reach is unmeasured: primary sources provide neither unique participants nor a compatible active-audience denominator.
- Structural expectation:
- Unknown
- Player dependency:
- Unknown
- Change direction:
- Unknown
- Assessment type:
- Unknown
- Confidence:
- High— 4 primary URLs were reviewed on 2026-09-02. Each populated claim is bounded by its exact excerpt; unresolved values remain Unknown.
Module fields
- Who owns it:
- Player organization
- Ownership unit:
- Shared-world area
- Ownership cycle duration:
- Indefinite until lost
- Contest method:
- Unknown— The reviewed official material confirms battles over provinces but does not resolve the contest method as an open war, siege window, declaration, or campaign.
- What happens when ownership is lost:
- A captured province transfers to another clan; the former owner loses its income and may lose its Headquarters.
- Who is affected in the wider world:
- Conflict participants only
Component profile (0–4)
- Capture and contest2 of 4 — Score 2 is a conservative ceiling: the official guide confirms province transfer through battles, but the reviewed evidence does not establish the preparation and meaningful defense required for score 3.
- Ownership benefits: assets, income, and access3 of 4 — Score 3 for ownership benefits is bounded by the cited official claim: “Only the provinces connected to the Headquarters bring income in gold.”
- Competition points and rewards3 of 4 — Score 3 for ownership score or rewards is bounded by the cited official claim: “Clans that own groups of provinces will also receive clan Fame Points.”
- Ownership duration3 of 4 — Score 3 for cross-session persistence is bounded by the cited official claim: “if the province is captured, the clan who transferred the battle becomes …”
- Accumulated developmentNot assessed — Moving a Division between provinces does not establish accumulated territorial development; retained as Unknown.
- Space and map strategy4 of 4 — Score 4 for spatial strategy is bounded by the cited official claim: “A Division can move across a clan's provinces and attack the provinces …”
- Collective organization of warfare4 of 4 — Score 4 for organized group warfare is bounded by the cited official claim: “A union of clans that allows them to transfer provinces and battles …”
- Impact on the wider world2 of 4 — Score 2 for effects on other players is bounded by the cited official claim: “Part of a Minor Power’s income is withheld as tax for their …”
- Game integration3 of 4 — Score 3 for links to other game loops is bounded by the cited official claim: “Only the provinces connected to the Headquarters bring income in gold.”
