We have reached the playoffs phase of the Summer 2022 CW season. Congratulations to Prestige, Paradox, ENIGMA, and Belligerent for qualifying for the playoffs!

To advance in the playoffs we will use a best-of-5 game format. Read full conditions here: https://atwar-game.com/forum/topic.php?topic_id=48459

I'm a week late posting about the Playoffs, so I'll extend the season an extra week in case you need it. So, coalitions will have until Monday night, August 29, 2022, at 11:59:59 PM (U.S. Central time), to complete the 1st round. (If you need more time, just let me know...)

As always, if a coalition declines to play, they will automatically forfeit and their opponent will advance to the finals. If a coalition forfeits they will not be eligible for any prizes for this season.

Congratulations to the Spring 2022 CW Season winners:

• 1st place: Paradox
  
• 2nd place: ENIGMA
  
• 3rd place: Prestige
  
• 4th place: Evolve
  
• Most Active: Hellenism

All awards have been distributed

World Map 2.0 has arrived!

Our new map has officially been released. Big thanks to the Game Meta team for completing this massive project! Be sure to check out the presets as well

We are eager to hear your feedback so we can make further adjustments and improvements. Please let us know what you think.

Don't worry, the original World Map will always be available, forever -- but someday we plan to make World Map 2.0 the new default map, so we want to get it right.

Double SP Weekend

This weekend (March 25-26) is a Double SP Weekend, so be sure not to miss it!

Please welcome Mobster and Lelouch. to the team!

World Map 2.0 is set to launch this weekend, March 26th.... are you ready? Stay tuned for further info and special events....

Thanks to all our donators who contributed to our Support for Ukraine fund, we raised 17,256 ProtoCoins together. I have turned this into a $173 USD donation to the United Ukrainian American Relief Committee. I also decided to match what you raised 1-to-1 with my own funds, and donated another $173 to the Red Cross.

UPDATE 3/17 -- after a couple more last minute donations I was able to donate another $122 to the Red Cross. This brings the grand total raised to $486 USD. A heartfelt thanks to the atWar community -- there truly are some good, kind people here. ♥

Congratulations to the Winter 2022 CW Season winners:

• 1st place: Paradox
  
• 2nd place: Epic Clan
  
• 3rd place: Hellenism
  
• 4th place: Prestige

A special note from Dave to Hellenism: I want to congratulate Hellenism especially on their first ever 3rd place trophy. I've been following their clan for a long time. They have been the most active clan for the last 3 seasons in a row, and I'm proud of how far they've progressed at the same time. Well done, my greek brothers!

Introduction

I enjoy reading "year in review" posts from others, but I never seem to find time to write my own. Nevertheless, atWar has been in my thoughts a lot lately, so I've decided to give it a try. Consider this my tardy report on the last 3 years of atWar, what I've been working on, and what my plans are for the future.

Origins of my ownership of atWar

To begin, I think I must recap the story of how I came to own atWar, since I realize there are many new faces around here who may not be aware of it.

As promised, we have revised the Official Clan War Rules for 2022. Last season we piloted the brand new playoffs/brackets system for the first time. This year we will be keeping the playoffs system, but making a few changes based on the feedback we received. Most notably, we have removed the 70-games minimum to qualify, and removed the restriction on clans created more than 14 days after the start of the season.

There are a few other changes too. To read the full details, click the link below:

Our official Record Book has been updated, and is packed with all kinds of cool and nerdy stats! Check it out here:



A BIG THANK YOU to our Chief of Statistics Wolf for working many hours on this to make it happen!

Cheers,
Dave
