World Conquest

"With the launch of 0.10 (World Conquest) we’re going to rip out the old game, and start in with a fresh new foundation that will let us build bigger, better, and (hopefully) faster than ever before."

- Foxhole Devblog

World Conquest is the main game mode of Foxhole. In it, all of the game's regions are fought on simultaneously, and connected to each other. One town in each active region is a "Victory Condition" town, indicated by the symbol -. In order to win, a faction must control and upgrade a certain number of Victory Condition towns with the Civic Center which no longer requires the townhall to be upgraded to Tier 3. This number can be found at the top center of the world map.

Between each war is a Resistance Phase, where the losing team becomes the Resistance while the winning team defends their towns.

Starting Conditions
As of Update 0.26, starting towns for each war can be customized to the developer's liking to introduce variety between the wars.

End War
Once a faction has upgraded enough Victory Condition towns to Civic Centers, a 30 minute timer will appear acting as a "celebratory period". After this period, the Resistance Phase will commence.

History
World Conquest was experimentally tested on in Update 0.9 and officially released in Update 0.10. An early prototype of World Conquest was released during the Pre-Alpha in Update 0.0.28.12 but was discontinued. In World Conquest 22, the victory condition was changed dramatically from 1-4 victory condition towns per map to only one. This introduced the town hall variant "Civic Center".

The first time a total concurrent player count of over 1000 has been achieved, was during World Conquest 19 on 14th of December, 2018 at 09:00pm (UTC+2).
