Relics & Crystals

From Guide

Relics and crystals are often the most sought-after items in Battledawn. Both items can give bonuses to the individual colony (crystals) or an entire alliance (relics). However, the main difference is that relics allow you to win the game.

Crystals

The main part of crystals is it raises your score by 5 hence it's an essential part of the scoring system of the game.

• You gain 1 crystal when completing the construction of the level 4 Metal structure.
• You can sometimes find crystals disguised as 'unidentified wreckage', scattered in lakes, rivers, bays, and any body of water that arent Oceans.
• The top referrer/voter each week will also win 1 Crystal, they can not be created any other way.
• When you conquer someone with 1 or more crystal(s), you gain all of their crystals. If you were part of an attack by multiple players on the same colony (assuming you win!) you will get a portion of the crystals, depending on how many units you sent in the attack.
• Each crystal raises your score by 5.
• Each crystal you hold now gives you +1 Metal,Oil & Food every tick. [game update, December the 1st 2007]
• Crystals give a special ring around your colony
• If two people are attacking an unconquered colony with crystals, the player with the largest amount of units at the end will get the conquer, and the smallest will get the crystal.

Relics

Introduced first on Earth 1 on Thusday April 19 2007. Relics were first found as wreckage in the sea allowing players to send squads over to attempt to capture it. 10 relics in total exist.

• Only 10 relics exist,they are scattered around the globe.
• Each Relic your alliance holds gives all of its members bonuses in the following way: (1 relic, 2 relics, 3 , etc...)

+5 Food, Metal & Oil, +15, +30, +50, 75, 105, 140, 180, 225, 275 [game update, December the 1st 2007]

• First alliance to collect all 10 and hold them for 72 ticks will win the round.
• If you take a relic in battle, your control ticks will be reduced to 0.
• Capturing a relic from a wreckage is no considered a battle and therefore your control ticks are not affected.
• If your colony contains one or more relics, your colony will have a special ring around it.
• If you own a relic then you cannot go on vacation, this is to avoid players abusing the vacation system to protect the relic from attackers.
