Clan wars are coming

Form a clan with your friends. When the war drums sound, clans sign up, get matched and fight it out, city against city, for a place on the map of Naija.

  • Weekly wars. A countdown, a sign-up, a matched rival clan.
  • Bring your people. Invite friends with a link and send soldiers to each other.
  • Climb the league. Win wars to rise, and hold your city on the map.
