How Graffiti Influences Territory Control

The Basics

In this game, spraying graffiti with your faction's tag allows you to gain control over territories. The system regularly updates territory control based on the graffiti present in each area.

Update Frequency

The game checks and updates territory control once every hour. During each update, it evaluates all the graffiti tags within a territory to determine which faction gains or loses influence.

Graffiti Influence Mechanics

Tag Counting

The game counts the number of valid graffiti tags each faction has in a territory.

Comparison of Tags

It compares your faction's tag count against the combined count of all other factions' tags.

Winning the Tag War

If your faction has more tags than all other factions combined, you gain influence in that territory.
If your faction has fewer tags, you lose influence.

Maximum Effect

Having up to 20 more tags than your enemies grants maximum benefit.
Adding more than 20 extra tags does not provide additional advantages.

Influence Gain vs. Loss

When winning the tag war, influence is gained faster.
Conversely, when losing the tag war, influence is lost at a slower rate.

Important Rules

Spacing Matters: If tags are placed too close together (within about 5 game units), only one tag will count. It is important to space your tags out.
Faction Permission: Your faction must have permission enabled by server administrators to gain influence from graffiti.
Correct Tag Text: The graffiti text must exactly match your faction's official tag (matching is case-insensitive).
Territory Decay: Territories naturally lose influence over time, particularly if your faction controls many territories. Graffiti helps counteract this decay.

What This Means For You

To gain territory control, ensure you place more graffiti tags than rival factions.
Spread your tags throughout the territory instead of clustering them.
Always use your faction's exact official tag.
If your tags stop affecting territory control, check with an administrator to confirm that your faction's permissions are active.

This dynamic system requires factions to continuously maintain their presence through strategic graffiti placement, competing effectively against rival factions to control territories.
