Rankings vs Ratings

The game has two ranking systems accessible from the Rankings page:

Tab Purpose
Rankings Traditional highscore sorted by General, Economy, Research, or Military points
Hall Of Fame Hourly delayed combat records for the biggest 1v1 and multi-player battles
Ratings Performance-based 0-100 scores with category breakdowns

Navigating the Rankings Page

  1. Click Rankings in the main menu
  2. Use the Rankings tab for the traditional score table.
  3. The table shows all players with sortable columns:
    • Click General to sort by overall points
    • Click Economy to sort by economy score
    • Click Research to sort by research score
    • Click Military to sort by military score
  4. Scroll down to load more players (infinite scroll)

Hall Of Fame

The Hall Of Fame tab shows delayed combat records pulled directly from battle reports stored in the database.

  • The left panel tracks the top 10 1v1 battles by total damage destroyed.
  • The right panel tracks the top 10 battles with more than 2 participants.
  • Rows show total damage, attackers, defenders, outcome, looted resources, and debris created.
  • Alliance tags are shown beside each player name when available.
  • Winners are highlighted in green and losers in red.
  • The board refreshes every hour on the hour and only includes combat reports older than the previous hour, so new battles always appear with at least a 1 hour delay.
