Perfect World Territorial Wars unleashed

Level Up! Games, publisher of Perfect World Philippines, has activated the much-awaited territorial wars, giving the game’s clans a venue to vent aggression or practice diplomacy in the face of common adversity.

Here’s an excerpt from the April 2007 GAME! Magazine walkthrough for Perfect World’s territorial wars:

Mayhem at its best
What sets Perfect World apart from other games in its genre is perhaps its most important feature–its guild war system. Instead of castles, guilds–or in the case of Perfect World, clans–can duke it out three days in a week for the chance to control 44 states in the world of Pangu.

So how does it run? Simple. Each clan can declare war on one unoccupied state every week. Unfortunately, if your clan owns a state, you can march your troops only to an adjacent state.

To attack a target state with the goal of occupying it and reaping its bounty, a clan must first declare its intention for war at a War NPC during the allowed period every week.

Of course, just like in any investment, you have to shell out some dough to get a larger slice of the pie. The War NPC will bill you 500,000 yuan before allowing your clan to partcipate in a territorial war.

Rules of engagement
Right after the bidding period every week, a Territorial War Schedule is automatically released. You can view these schedules by speaking to any Territorial War NPC. The schedule begins every Friday at 8 p.m. and ends on Sunday at 11 p.m.

There are a total of seven available time slots to wage war: Friday, 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.; Saturday, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m., from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., and from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.; and Sunday (same schedule as Saturday).

Clans that occupy three or more states may have a maximum of only three cities scheduled for a Territorial War within the same time slot.
