Some players have asked about defence points and how to use them so this is a quick guide. Please feel free to post below any tactics you use for defence points and any tips that you might have that will help others.
Defence points are used in World Conquest and Galaxy Conquest. At the moment they are counted for flags. 1 defence point = 1 Flag.
You get defence points by winning a county or a planet. Winning a neutral owned country or planet gives you 1 defence point and a clan owned country or planet gives you 2 Points.
You can place defence points on any country or planet that you own, but put on no more than 5.
In a match where you are playing for a country or planet that has defence points on it, these are counted in the final score. So if clan [AAA] owns France and has 2 defence points on it, a match score may look like this;
[AAA] clan scored 5 flags, [BBB] clan scored 6 flags.
Final score is [AAA] 7 flags (5 flags + 2 defence points) and [BBB] clan 6 flags.
Once defence points have been used in a match they can not be used again. You can though place some new defence points on the country or planet.
