It's always disappointing when a beloved feature is removed from your favorite hobby, whether it's in gaming, tabletop gaming, or any other pastime. 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 go head-to-head. But there's a twist: only players ranked 25 or above can participate, and the use of gold, the game's premium currency, is strictly prohibited. This setup creates the ultimate test of skill and strategy for Conflict of Nations enthusiasts.

To celebrate the return of this feature, two challenge maps will be available: the Mediterranean and Antarctica. Elite Challenges will stand out from regular matches in Conflict of Nations by providing players with 2x starting resources, production, and access to the tech tree on day 10. This means bigger armies and more diverse tech usage, adding to the excitement and strategic depth of the game.

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