World of Tanks

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.

research 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.

Depth:
3 of 5 — Developed warfare
What ownership gives the owner over others:
Resources or income from the territory itself

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.”
