🛰️ Alliance Outposts

Alliance Outposts unlock in Week 3 of Season 1 and are essential for expanding your influence beyond your home Warzone. They serve as a second HQ in a foreign Warzone, allowing your alliance to capture Strongholds and Cities there.

This page covers:

• 🗓️ When Outposts unlock
• 📦 How many you can place
• 🌍 How to use them strategically
• ❌ Mistakes to avoid
• 🏆 Role expectations by alliance tier

📅 When Do Outposts Unlock?

• Outpost Unlock Timeline: Outposts unlock gradually – the 1st Outpost slot opens on Week 3, Day 2, then the 2nd on Week 4, Day 1, 3rd on Week 5, Day 1, and 4th on Week 6, Day 1.
• Requires a well-developed base and strong alliance territory to deploy.
• Outpost Limit: Max 1 Outpost per Warzone (up to 4 total across different Warzones). Once placed, an Outpost cannot be removed; it must be defended like a second HQ. (Note: Outposts can only be attacked via solo marches – rallies cannot target them, and destroyed Outposts can be rebuilt.)

🔢 Outpost Limits

• Example: You can have 1 Outpost in each of the 4 Warzones (including your own if needed)
• Outposts cost Immune Protein to deploy, and must be protected like a base

🏗️ What Can You Do With an Outpost?

Once deployed, Outposts allow your alliance to:

• Capture Strongholds in that Warzone
• Chain to and capture Cities in the target Warzone
• Expand map presence and cut off enemy zones
• Support rally chains across zones with garrisons and backup players

📌 Outposts are required to win the Season, especially if aiming for Apocalypse City or multiple L6 cities across zones.

🧭 Where to Place Outposts

• Near:
  • High-value L4–L6 Cities
  • Key Rare Resource Zones
  • Map junctions with multiple city access
• Avoid:
  • Dead zones with no expansion options
  • PvP-heavy zones unless prepared for war
  • Spreading Outposts too far from your alliance core

🛠️ Placement Requirements

• Must be placed in neutral territory (unclaimed tiles)
• Requires:
  • 10,000 Virus Resistance
  • Alliance-level authorization
  • Immune Protein to deploy
• Outposts can be attacked and destroyed — treat them as military bases, not throwaway assets

🏅 Strategy by Alliance Tier

👑 Top 3 Alliances

• Place Outposts early in Week 3 near target L5–L6 cities
• Coordinate Outpost chains to pressure multiple zones
• Garrison with max Troop Base and full War Leader teams

🥈 Top 10–15 Alliances

• Wait for Top 3 to place, then follow behind in support zones
• Use Outposts to lock down L3–L4 cities or reinforce buffers
• Avoid overcommitting — protect your Warzone first

🧱 Smaller Alliances

• Delay Outpost placement until city paths are safe
• Use Outposts in support zones to gather resources or help partners
• Avoid PvP unless you’re aligned with stronger coalitions

❌ Mistakes to Avoid

• ❌ Placing Outposts with < 10k Virus Resistance
• ❌ Isolating
