it is time for another challenge. However, you won't be alone in this upcoming fight. 150 strong men and women will unite and fight for you in this week’s event Arms Race. Five light tanks, four medium tanks, three artillery units, two mechanized infantries, two anti-tank units, one commando and one anti-air unit will be stationed in all urban provinces protecting your already fully upgraded buildings, ready to receive orders. In all non-urban provinces you will find three infantry units.
Each Winner (1st place) on our event map Arms Race, will receive an additional 10,000 Goldreward on top of the usual gold payout. So prepare yourselves and become one of the best commanders Call of War has ever seen.
Map creation will start today, September 21, and you will be able to join the maps until Friday, September 22. All games will have the 'starts when full' option enabled and will be force started, if not full, around 5pm CEST on Friday.You can find the maps by typing 'Arms Race' in the search bar.
Additionally, the maps will run at double speed with a 24 real-life hours peace period (2 in-game days) and you will be flagged as inactive after 24 real-life hours. Research until day 8 will already be completed, everything else is unlocked and can be researched immediately.
We wish you good luck on the battlefield and are looking forward to your feedback on the event.
Your Call of War Team

I just finished my Arms Race game with a VP Win and gained +11,678 gold. Yay! Go Team!
What team? You ditched yours.

I also want to underline that I highly recommend the idea of splitting 'bonus' gold among all the ranks in accordance with VPs, as that gives everyone a taste of the good life and, honestly, by the time the Gold Reward Payouts become an issue, the surviving players are about ready to call it a game, anyway, in most cases.
This is not a good idea. Yes, it sounds fair. But the simple fact is that the special Gold bonus is a special prize to incentivize everyone to do their best and fight on. What you are proposing is little more than an attendance trophy. Besides, in many of these events, there are different level prizes for different ranks of winners (i.e., 1st. place, 2nd., place, etc.).
Although, now that I think about it, maybe the incentive is a little bit too rich if it encourages bad behavior by some players. That's a question left unanswered but maybe should be sought out. What do you think about that? Should bad behavior be rewarded if it leads to victory?

Actually, this is the kind of stuff that USUALLY happens when people do bad things....like drink too much.

It seemed like such a waste to destroy an entire battle station just to eliminate one man. But Charlie knew that it was the only way to ensure the absolute and total destruction of Quasi-duck, once and for all.

As far as I can see the rewards are just fine. Only the first place received the fix reward of 10.000 + VP and the other places still should have received their fix reward + VP.

Oh, I see. So 1st Place doesn't have +10k Gold, it just has it's fixed reward changed to 10k. That is cool.
As long as the other positions didn't just get their current VP as their reward.

It's not clear.
You say each winner, by winner we mean the person in first place, gets his normal VP reward plus an additional 10k.
The remaining positions (2nd and 3rd?) only get their VP

The first quote by Sasri clearly shows that is not the case....2nd. and 3rd. place winners get their "[fixed] reward" plus their "VP" reward.

I find that the easiest way to take out any country is just to spam nukes at them before rushing in with tonnes of conventional warfare mainly being artillery before sending in infantry and tanks, since the enemy usually has lots of tanks in their stacks. Rocket fighters are also kinda OP because the enemy keeps on sending in bombers and interceptors.
AI is also kinda hard to push and they keep on developing fortifications which adds to the difficulty.
All in all, its fun but challenging.

Why does AI and Inactive keep on attacking me unprovoked?
I'm fighting on one front then before I know it, I'm at war with 5 countries because they attacked my flank. Its frustrating that the AI fight so well.
