DETAILED GUIDE

How it works

Week 4 headline

Week 4 is the Season 1 decision week. Alliances stop operating only inside their home map, cross-warzone City declarations become a scheduled system, Builder Alliance becomes an irreversible alternative path, and Infinite Octagon begins organizing the endgame.

The player-facing page should stay simple.

The R4/R5 page should be much deeper.

Maintained modern schedule:

Season Day 24 / Week 4 Day 3: Warzone Declaration of War opens.
Season Day 25 / Week 4 Day 4: Infinite Octagon preparation phase begins.
Season Day 28 / Week 4 Day 7: Apocalypse City / Capitol opens.

Current modern declaration days previously captured from official guidance:

Wednesday
Saturday

Legacy note:

Older Season 1 guides may show Thursday/Saturday. The modern target schedule is Wednesday/Saturday; verify the live declaration timer.

Keep VRI / Profession progression moving.
Do not waste shields/teleports before important war windows.
Understand whether your alliance is staying competitive or becoming Builder.
Check cross-warzone City declaration days.
Follow leadership staging before City attacks.
Begin treating Saturday availability as important for the upcoming Octagon rounds.
Do not assume the Capitol is won by random PvP kills.

Maintain City/Stronghold connection map.
Track exact City protection timers.
Confirm Wednesday/Saturday declaration windows.
Decide Builder vs competitive path using expected season value, not emotion.
If switching Builder:
- verify all current eligibility conditions;
- communicate the irreversible nature;
- abandon required Cities deliberately;
- establish daily production collection;
- establish Building Material donation rules.
If remaining competitive:
- identify highest-value City targets;
- preserve Stronghold routes;
- maintain diplomacy.
Create server-level Octagon coordination channel.
Scout likely bracket opponent.
Identify Saturday attendance.
Capture the current Capitol event rules before planning around an exact occupation condition.
