What is Foundry Battle?
Foundry is a one-hour alliance PvP battlefield where the objective is not simply to kill the enemy. The winner is the alliance with the most Arsenal Points.
🎯 How you win
You earn points by capturing and holding buildings, fighting for objectives, and collecting point drops/supplies. Buildings unlock in phases, so the map changes as the battle goes on.
🏭 Important buildings
- Prototype Sites / Repair Facilities: early point generators.
- Boiler Room: helps building control speed.
- Transit Station: improves teleport availability/cooldown.
- Imperial Foundry: central high-value objective.
- Munitions Warehouse: combat benefits.
- Mercenary Camp: can pressure enemy-held buildings.
- Weapon Workshops: appear later and can swing points.
💀 Your troops do not permanently die here
Foundry is a safe battlefield in the sense that battlefield troop losses do not permanently remove your normal city army. Your battlefield troops recover after the event; you can also manage healing/re-entry during the fight.
🚪 Before you can enter
Make sure you do not have troops marching/scouting, injured troops blocking entry, reinforcements sitting in your Embassy, or other entry restrictions shown by the event screen.
🧭 Your job is a ROLE
Foundry works best when people have assignments:
- Attack team
- Building holders
- Reinforcers
- Point collectors
- Teleport / rapid-response players
🍪 COOKIE RULE
Do not abandon a building worth steady alliance points just because you saw somebody you think you can hit.
🟡 Watch for dropped Arsenal Supplies
When control changes, temporary points can spill around a building. Those yellow point drops can decide a close match. Watch the map.
⚠️ Common Foundry mistakes
- Playing for personal kills instead of alliance Arsenal Points.
- Ignoring assigned buildings.
- Wasting teleports.
- Not reinforcing the player holding an important building.
- Missing Weapon Workshop phases because everyone is tunnel-visioning center.
🍪 The Big Lesson
Foundry is an objective game wearing a PvP costume. Buildings and points win the match.
