Game Update 38 / Victory Points Update / GU PEARL ELEPHANT
Patch Notes
Victory Points
Continents will no longer be captured by alerts and territory control alone! Victory Points are a new method of scoring within the game. If your faction earns the required number of Victory Points, then the continent is yours! The continental VP scoreboard is shown at the top of the Map screen. Mousing over each faction will bring up the “Points to Victory” window, which breaks down progress and overall score.
There are a numbers of ways to earn VP:
Permanent Victory Points
Flux Victory Points
Capturing more than 45% of a continent’s territory can earn you “Flux” Victory Points. Flux Victory Points count toward continental victory, but can be won/lost with the territory you control/lose.
Percentage of Territory controlled:
