How Medals work

When medals are awarded

• Weekly medals are granted every Monday at 00:00 (server time) for the previous week’s performance. 

Weekly player medals (Top-10)

You can earn a ribbon each week by placing in the Top-10 for:

• Attackers

• Defenders

• Raiders

• PvE (kills vs. Natars and unoccupied oases)

Streak & repeat medals

• Top-3 best in the same category 3/5/10 times (not consecutive).

• Top-10 best in the same category 3/5/10 times (consecutive).

• Top-10 both Attacker & Defender in the same week 1/2/3 times (consecutive).

Weekly alliance medals (Top-10)

Alliances receive Top-10 medals for:

• Attack, Defense, Raiding, and Climbers (population growth replaces PvE for alliances).
  Alliance medals show laurel branches around the ribbon.

Tournament medals

Awarded for Tournament Qualifications and Finals participation/performance:

• Attack, Defense, Population, World Wonder, and Survivor (played to the end).
  These sets were recently refreshed visually.

Local medals

A newer category: medals for participation in Local gameworlds (e.g., the first was Titani—Italy—designed with community input).

Special medals

Given for unique cases, including:

• Special test worlds (e.g., Loyal Legend),

• Winners of Glory of Sparta and Shores of War,

• Veteran medals for 3/5/10 years of play.
  The rarest is the Hammelburg meeting medal (one-time award for attendees in 2009). The first-ever medal was the dove of peace (shown during beginner’s protection and then fades).
