Forge of Empires: iPad Player Guide (Attacking, Plundering, PvP and Weekly Tournaments)

10 - Attacking, Plundering, PvP and Weekly Tournaments

Attacking is a big part of the game ! You can attack any player in your neighbourhood, but you cannot attack any players who are in your guild or on your friends list. You can also fight on your continent map as detailed in post number 4. 

Every time you fight and win, you receive battle points, these increase your global score. After a successful attack on a neighbour, once you beat their defences you will now have to option to plunder them! You can plunder any building that can be motivated, so houses, supplies buildings, halls of fame, shrines of knowledge, and goods buildings can be plundered also. You can only plunder buildings which have finished their production cycles and are dry to collect; if a building can be plundered you will see a small icon above the building as pictured below which looks a little like a small silver lightning bolt.

 

You can attack each member in your neighbourhood one time every 24 hours; you then have 24 hours in which to plunder them.

PvP Tournaments

As you gain control of provinces on your continent map you will see that in every era you will gain a PvP (player vs player) tower on the map. Once you have acquired the tower for that era, you can now participate in PvP. If you click on the tower you can see any one who has already been fighting in that era, as well as the rewards available to the top fighters. The higher you rank the more medals you win; medals are used to buy expansions.

 

There is a PvP tournament every week, this starts early Monday morning GMT and runs until the towers close late on the following Sunday night GMT. At this time all winners are credited any medals they have won. All players in your neighbourhood can participate if they wish - and if they have unlocked their PvP towers also.

To fight in a specific tower you must fight with units from that age; your points will be allocated to the PvP tower belonging to the same age as the highest age unit in your attacking army. So for example - if you own the Bronze age tower - and NOT the Iron age tower, but you take Iron age units into battle, you will receive battle points on your global score, but not on any PvP tower, as you do not own the Iron Age tower. To fight in the Bronze age tower, you must not take any units from higher ages than bronze age.
