The remaining alliances will continue playing but will not access the two tournament maps and are not eligible for winning an award.
- In each League 12 alliances are spread around a map of 169 zones - 12 headquarters, 36 exclusives, 105 independents and 16 empty ones.
- Headquarters are the alliance’s entry point on the map. They do not generate points and each is surrounded by 3 non-occupied zones that are exclusive for each HQ and cannot be conquered by any other alliance.
- Armies can be donated to the alliance only at the Alliance Headquarters.
- Independent zones can be conquered by all alliances by sending an army to attack the independent castle holding the zone. After successfully reducing the army of the independent castle tile to under 1 000 units combined, the territory is conquered. A cooldown of 1-hour starts during which the zone does not generate points. Simultaneously a 2-hour cooldown starts stopping enemy alliances from attacking it until it is finished. Attacks cannot be sent from the zone during this period. However, espionage missions to and from the zone remain possible.
- An enemy zone is conquered when its Fortress level reaches 0. Each successful fortress siege against it decreases the Fortress level by 1.
- Once the cooldown ends the zone starts to generate points for the alliance ranking and it is open for attacks.
- Independent zones can generate different amounts of points per hour. All of them are outlined in a description.
- The empty zones are out of bounds and no actions can be taken on them.
- Attacks can be sent only from an already occupied zone of the alliance towards an adjacent zone which is independent or already occupied from another alliance.
- The movement speed of alliance armies between zones is x10.
- The distance between zones is 200 imperial miles, and the distance for donating army to alliance holdings is 500 imperial miles.
- Any actions can be taken only from the zone that the player is currently in.
- Zones containing any number of alliance armies will have a flag in the center of the zone tile on the tournament map.
- Enemy zones containing armies are not shown on the tournament map zones. Intel can be gathered by espionage.
- Any zone that is under attack will be marked with a shield in the top right corner of the zone tile. Any zone that your alliance attacks will be marked with a sword in the top right corner of the zone tile.
- Sending an army from one zone to the other happens only between zones that share an uninterrupted connection. If two zones are separated by an independent zone or one occupied by another alliance, armies cannot be moved from one to the other.
- If an army is sent to another zone which has been occupied by an enemy during the mission, the army will return to the original zone. In case that the original zone is occupied as well - the army is returned to HQ.
- At the end of Phase III the winner is the alliance with the highest number of points generated on the tournament map. The tie breakers are - amount of net points, amount of alliance members, earlier registration in that order.

- Each barbarian camp can send attacks against players placed at a distance of maximum 250 imperial miles, instead of 70.
- For every defeated barbarian camp the player will get a 25% increase in the strength of the barbarian attacks.
- Increasing strength of the Barbarian camps - each Barbarian camp defeated by а player will increase the size of the army of the next attacked Barbarian camp by a certain percentage. The increase is specific to the attacking player and will not affect the army that other players will see in the camp. The Barbarian army increase modifier in the camps returns its original value at the beginning of each day.
