It's always disappointing when a beloved feature is removed from your favorite pastime, whether it's in gaming, tabletop, or other hobbies. However, today marks a special occasion as a fan-favorite feature makes its triumphant return! In the world of Conflict of Nations: WW3, the much-loved clan vs clan battles are back with the introduction of Elite Challenges.

So, how do Elite Challenges work? These are team-based battles where alliances can engage in epic wars of strategy against each other. What sets Elite Challenges apart from regular alliance challenges is that participants must be at least rank 25, and the use of gold, the game's premium currency, is strictly prohibited. This creates a level playing field, focusing purely on skill and strategy.

To celebrate the return of this feature, two challenge maps will be available: the Mediterranean and Antarctica. Elite Challenges also offer a unique twist with 2x starting resources, production, and access to the tech tree on day 10. This means players can build larger armies and explore more diverse technological options, enhancing the strategic depth of the game.

It's easy to see why Elite Challenges were so popular among the player base. However, as Dorado Games has noted, implementing these challenges became increasingly challenging as their community grew. The fact that this mode eliminates the use of premium currency, ensuring a fair competition, is likely to be a major draw for players.
