WORLD CUP FINALS - Rules

[Angela]

The top 30 teams from the Group Phase qualify for the Finals, where they continue the battle for the ultimate title - Champion of Empire Online. The rules that govern the Finals are the same as in the Group Phase, with the following exceptions:
- The Finals take place on the same map as the Group Phase
- All accounts of the winning teams in the Group Phase retain their places on the map
- There are 36 Alliance Castles on the map
- all development of accounts and Alliances is reset; however, all the diamonds from the Qualifiers or the Group Phase are preserved and can be used in the Finals
- Each player can send attacks, spy and conquer Castles at any location of the map

Castles expand their area of influence through the construction of Great Temple; however, their influence is not accounted for as a percentage of map area retained, but as the accumulation of Influence Points instead.
- 1 account / Exclusive Zone / Capital within the influence area of an Alliance Castle = 1 Influence Point.
- Influence Points are accumulated over time, and are being awarded each hour
- If an Alliance loses control over one of its Alliance Castles – it still gets to keep the Influence Points accumulated so far
- If an account falls within the area of influence of the two Castles, it will grant Influence Points to the Castle with the higher level of Great Temple.
