Elite Challenges Return in Conflict of Nations: World War 3

It's always a disappointment when a beloved feature is removed from our favorite pastimes, whether in video games, tabletop gaming, or other hobbies. However, today marks a special occasion as a fan-favorite feature is making a triumphant return to Conflict of Nations: WW3—the highly anticipated clan vs clan battles through Elite Challenges.

So, how do Elite Challenges work? These are team-based battles where alliances can engage in epic wars of strategy against one another. The twist? Only players ranked 25 or above can participate, and importantly, the use of gold, the game's premium currency, is strictly prohibited. This ensures a level playing field where skill and strategy reign supreme.

To celebrate the return of this cherished feature, two challenge maps will be available: the Mediterranean and Antarctica. Elite Challenges also stand out with unique gameplay mechanics, offering participants 2x starting resources, production, and access to the tech tree by day 10. This setup paves the way for larger armies and more diverse technological strategies.

Dorado Games, the developers, have noted that while these challenges were a hit among players, they posed significant logistical challenges as the player base expanded. The removal of premium currency from these battles is a decision that's likely to be celebrated by players, leveling the playing field and emphasizing pure strategic prowess.
