Elite Challenges Return in Conflict of Nations: World War 3

It's always disheartening when a beloved feature is removed from your favorite pastime, whether it's in video games, on the tabletop, or elsewhere. However, today marks a special occasion where a fan-favorite feature is making its grand return in *Conflict of Nations: WW3*—the much-loved clan vs. clan battles with Elite Challenges.

So, how do Elite Challenges work? These are team-based confrontations where alliances can square off against one another. What sets them apart from regular alliance challenges is that you must be at least rank 25 to participate, and the use of gold, the game's premium currency, is strictly forbidden. This setup presents the ultimate test of skill and strategy for fans of *Conflict of Nations*.

To celebrate the return of this exciting feature, two challenge maps will be available: the Mediterranean and Antarctica. These maps will offer unique gameplay dynamics, starting you off with 2x the usual resources, production, and access to the tech tree on day 10. This means larger armies and more diverse tech utilization right from the get-go.

It's not hard to see why Elite Challenges were so adored by the player base. However, as Dorado Games has noted, implementing these challenges became increasingly challenging as their community expanded. The absence of premium currency in this mode ensures a level playing field, which is likely to be a significant draw for many players.
