Claiming Territory Tiles

How territory claims work from City Map tiles, including requirements, contributions, and refunds.

Start claim from City Tile

Territory claim starts on /city/tile.php for a specific tile. The Claim Territory button appears only for clan owner when the tile is valid.

  • Tile must be buildable (not a road).
  • Tile cannot already be claimed or in claim progress.
  • Tile cannot have personal ownership, active construction, factory, or corporation.

Claim cost and contribution

Each claim requires cash plus Bricks, Steel, Glass, Wires, and Wood. Costs are high and scale by tile position (more strategic tiles cost more).

  • Contributions are made in Clan > Territories > Active Claims.
  • Any clan member can contribute resources/cash to active claim.
  • Inputs are clamped to remaining requirement so you cannot overpay.

Cancel or complete claim

If claim is canceled by territory manager/owner, all contributors are refunded. If all requirements are met, claim becomes captured automatically.

  • Captured tile blocks personal contracts and personal construction.
  • Tile preview shows claim status and the controlling clan link.
  • If clan gives up territory, the tile is released and corporations on that territory are removed.

Why claim button may not appear

The button is hidden if you are not clan owner, if tile is invalid, or if anything is already built/claimed/in construction on that tile.
