City Capture & Rare Soil Strategy

Capture Is Different in Season 2

If you played Season 1, you are used to a capture system where territory control at the end determined rankings. Forget that. Season 2 uses a revamped capture system with hard limits on how much you can hold and a ranking system based on cumulative production, not final position.

The cities and dig sites scattered across the map are not just territory to paint your alliance colour. They are Rare Soil production engines. Every hour you hold one, your alliance earns ranking points that can never be taken away. Every hour you do not hold one, you are permanently behind.

The Core Rule

Alliance ranking is determined by total Rare Soil accumulated throughout the entire season — not territory held at the end. This means early captures matter. Day 1 Rare Soil counts the same as last-day Rare Soil. There is no last-minute territory grab that saves you. Start producing immediately or accept permanent ranking damage.
