General Information
- Obstacles are the rocks and trees in your base and can be removed for Stone or Wood.
- All Obstacles cost Gold to clear.
- Obstacles in Resource Bases can also be cleared, either by you (when you control the base) or by your opponent (when he/she controls the base).
- Some Obstacles can only be removed after reaching a minimum Headquarters level.
- Different types of obstacles produce different amounts of Resources when cleared. The greater the amount, the greater the Gold cost.
- The greater the amount of Gold an obstacle costs to remove, the less Resources you will get per Gold. Basically, the cheapest obstacles give you the best value.
- Obstacles do not respawn on Resource Bases, but trees will respawn randomly on your home base.
- Every 13 hours, there is a 40% chance that a new tree will spawn on your home base.
- Only the types of trees that you can currently clear have a chance to respawn. For example, the Mangrove Grove won't respawn if your HQ is at level 12 or below.
- Stones and Boulders do not respawn once cleared.
- The maximum amount of trees that you can have on your home base is 60.
- Frosted Pine Trees will appear on your base during the winter season.
Strategy
- When a Defensive Building is placed behind a tree, the tree will become translucent. However, non-defensive buildings will not cause a tree to become translucent.
- Troops or a Flare going behind a tree will cause it to become translucent as well.
- Hiding non-defensive buildings behind trees can lead to attackers not noticing them and potentially prevents them from getting Gunboat energy from their destruction.
- Leaving a Mangrove Grove or Mangrove Thicket on bases and Resource Bases to hide Headquarters or Outposts can lead to attackers having a harder time managing an attack.
- Since bases can appear as ice islands, there is an unpreventable chance that this strategy won't work due to pine trees' not hiding defenses well.
- As a result, ice islands are easier to defeat in general.
- Since bases can appear as ice islands, there is an unpreventable chance that this strategy won't work due to pine trees' not hiding defenses well.
Trivia
- There are obstacles that return Wood and Stone, but none for Gold nor Iron.
- Defenses can still fire through obstacles. They do not provide coverage.
- Stones and Boulders do not grow back once removed.
- Trees nearby an Artillery/Barrage impact zone or the firing spot of a Tank appear to shake and shed leaves. If it is a pine tree, snow appears to fall off.
- There's an achievement which is called Harness Nature that gives a total of 60 gems upon removing a total of 100 Obstacles.
