FAQ

Do rare widgets score more? No. Rarity changes looks only. See Rarity and editions.

Do I need an electronic Core? No. Tap your rolls in by hand. In ranked Sieges, influence is halved unless both sides rolled at least once with an electronic Core. See Influence and settlement.

Why did my Siege not change the map? Only ranked Sieges move influence. Casual and practice Sieges do not. Influence also only counts if the map was still open when the Siege finished.

I won a Siege. Why has the zone not changed colour? New influence waits until the next settlement, at five past the hour. And a zone only changes hands when another faction has more influence than the holder (25% more on Mountains).

Can I change faction? Your first pick is free. After that, once each season. See Factions.

Can my teammates be from other factions? Yes. Each player’s influence goes to their own faction.

What happens if I leave a Siege? A ghost plays your build and the game rolls for it. You earn no influence from that Siege.

Can I play on my own? Yes, with practice bots: a 1v1 Clash against a bot (Practise against a bot), a 2v2 Clash or a casual Siege. Practice games never change rank, rating, XP, resources or the map.

Why can I put Cogs on lots of faces but my Shard on only one? Commons are not numbered or owned, so you can use as many as you like. Collectables are single, numbered pieces.

What is a rules version? The numbers the game uses. When the team changes them, they save a new version. See The numbers.

Will I lose my widgets when the alpha ends? The team will tell all testers what happens before the alpha ends.

Who can see my email? Only the small team running the alpha. Other players see your nickname. See Safety and privacy.
