How Territory Wars Work

Territories appear as blinking zones on the city map. Hover to see who's fighting.

The Wall: - When your faction attacks or gets attacked, a "wall" appears on the faction announcements page - Both factions fight over spots on the wall - Defenders fill spots by clicking "available" on open positions - Attackers knock defenders off the wall by attacking and hospitalizing them - Sitting on the wall earns points - When you accumulate enough points, the territory becomes yours

Attacking: - Attacker starts with 1 member going in - Defender initially has up to 10 slots filled (including inactive members) - You defeat a defender to take their wall spot

Key mechanic: You must be active and in Torn. Can't hide in hospital or travel to avoid it.

Who can start a war: Only faction leader or co-leader.


Why Territories Matter for Ranked Wars

Territories give factions a bonus to respect gained from chaining. Powerhouse factions abuse territory warfare for higher respect gains. Winning and holding territories = stronger faction rankings.
