I bought EW back in October when it first came out and never really played it till last week and I have fallen hard for it lol. Anyways I have a few questions about the game and gameplay.

In ToW notice a bar at the bottom of the screen when I click on a map to play it what exactly does this mean?

When I look at the details after battle I notice a base compensation for credits. How do I get this higher?

What is territory bonus? And how do I get one?

Why are there so many JSF players? Double what the others are.

Thanks for you time in helping me out.

Q: In ToW notice a bar at the bottom of the screen when I click on a map to play it what exactly does this mean? A: It means what faction is winning on that map the faction with the most percentage of the bar is the current winner.

Q: When I look at the details after battle I notice a base compensation for credits. How do I get this higher? A: Advancing your rank by buying upgrades or upgrading units.

Q: What is territory bonus? And how do I get one? A: It is mainly for winning on a map such as your home country or on some elses map.

Q: Why are there so many JSF players? Double what the others are. A: Most new players start out on the American side because most players are American.

Thanks for you time in helping me out. Your welcome.

In ToW notice a bar at the bottom of the screen when I click on a map to play it what exactly does this mean?
  • Percentage of wins for each faction playing on the map. If, let's say EFEC is winning on a map, you'll see that the dominant color is blue (Orange for JSF; green for SGB). The information on the bar is updated every 30 minutes.

    When I look at the details after battle I notice a base compensation for credits. How do I get this higher?
  • Base compensation increased with your "commander" rank (not the rank on the leaderboards). You start at rank 1 with recruit units, and as you win games, level up your units and buy upgrades, your "commander" rank will increase to a maximum of 12.

    What is territory bonus? And how do I get one?
  • When a map is "really important" for a faction, their players get a bonus for playing and winning there. Capitol cities could be a good example of territory with bonus.

    Why are there so many JSF players? Double what the others are.
  • No particular reason. Preferences for the most part. Can be affected by culture/patriotism, play style, friends (so they can play 2vs2 or 4vs4 online together), etc.

    Thank you for answering those questions. A few more I have come up with.

    It says turn 37 I believe on the main ToW page. How many turns are there, or do we go until 2 capitals are owned or number of territories?

    How does it compute Combat Skill and Command Rating?

    How does a faction take over a territory? Is it updated daily? Hourly?

  • We should go indefinitely until the victory conditions are met (taking 27 territories or 2 capitals), but people have complained before so the developers stopped wars (on bot XBOX360 and PS3) after 70+ turns.

    How does it compute Combat Skill and Command Rating?
  • I have no idea

    How does a faction take over a territory? Is it updated daily? Hourly?
  • Really tricky to explain; you may see for yourself here: Addressing TOW Questions/Issues
    It's updated daily

    Command rating has to do with the ratio of hostile units incapacitated versus your units incapacitated. For example you take out several enemy units but never have one of yours go donw you will get a 100% rating.

    Thank you to all who answered my questions. I am sure I will have more as time goes on.

    Just thought of one. If I buy an upgrade say for my Riflemen who is a 3 stripe and the rest are ones. Does that ability come into effect once the rest are 3 stripes or do I have to purchase again?
