Special Event

War Commander will periodically run optional Special Events where Players must complete progressively harder Waves that may consist of the Player Attacking Rogue Event Bases, Defending their own Base from Rogue Attacks or a combination of both.

As the Player progresses through the Waves they are awarded Event Experience Point (eXP) which they may use to Unlock Special Event Units which are not otherwise available. The Player attempts to complete as many waves as they can in the time allotted. The Event ends for a player when either time runs out or they reach a wave they can not complete.

Each Special Event has its own narrative and may vary in Rules, Goals and/or Specific Tasks.

Frequency
Currently, a Special Event is being held once a month. Each Event runs for 7 days at the end of the month.

Event Format
Although there may be some content variations, such as the addition of Fortresses or Spires, to date all Special Events have followed one of four basic formats.

The Following is a list of the formats, each with an example of an Event that operated under that format :


 * 1) DEFENSE - The Player Defends their Base from waves of Rogue Attacks - Operation: Rogue Assault
