Clans are groups of players banded together either for fighting or for trading. A player can be in only one clan at a time, and can enroll some or all of his characters in the clan.

Fighting Clans

Fighting clans gain points for winning battles. The more battles they win, the more "clan points" (CP) they receive. Clan points determine the clans ranking. The top 25% of fighting clans get a bonus to rewards per fight. The reward bonus for the top clan is 15%. The reward for other clans receiving the bonus is less than this number.

Only fights during the last 24 hours count towards clan points. Note that on Sunday (4 AM Sunday - 4 AM Monday server time) there are no bonuses and no clan points earned. Bonus is adjusted hourly, so even if you go crazy and rack up 3,000 clan points in an hour, the bonus for you and your clan won't increase until the start of the next hour.

Winning a fight gives up to 6 clan points, as follows.

  • 2 CP for defeating a non-clan character.
  • 4 CP for defeating a clan character from a clan not earning bonus.
  • 6 CP for defeating a clan character from one of the clans earning bonus.

Additionally, if you are in a clan, being beaten by a member of another clan takes clan points from you, as follows.

  • -2 CP if you are in a clan not earning bonus
  • -4 CP if you are in a clan earning bonus

Clans with a net weekly negative score are disbanded.

  • Net score: the points all members of the clan scored in the past 24h, minus all points taken away by other clans in that same 24h period.
  • Score: The net score, but corrected for how powerful a clan is. If the total PR in a clan is exactly as is allowed, then score equals net score. If the clan isn't completely full, then Score is higher (but capped at about 110% of net score). If the clan is over the PR limit, then the Score is lower than the net score (no cap here).

Clan rank is determined by the score.

Economic Clans

Economic clan members get reduced transfer fees. Loans to members of the same clan get a 90% discount to transfer fees; permanent transfers to members of the same clan get a 50% discount, and all other transfers get a 20% discount. These discounts only apply after you've been in an economic clan for at least one week.

Economic clan members also get a 5% bonus to forging efficiency. This bonus is removed during the same time as the Standard Clan bonuses are removed.

Economic clan members are also charged only 15% of the upgrade cost when forging, versus the normal 20%

Economic clans are ranked by revenue generated. This is determined by the amounts of cash transferred to Economic Clan members.

Starting a Clan

Any user can start their own clan. Although you can only do so if you are not already in a clan. The cost to start your own clan is $MPR / 10. All you have to do is click 'Clans/Create', then enter the name of your new clan. Choose your name carefully because you will not be able to change it once your clan is created. After that, you too can have your own clan of followers in the CB world... if you can find them. After creating a clan you are the Owner and Clan Admin of the clan.

Joining a Clan

To join a clan, take a look at their membership policy first.

  • open - you may join immediately, as long as you are within an allowed MPR limit and there are less than 12 characters in it
  • moderated - same as above but the clan leader has to approve you first
  • closed - you may not join unless the policy is going to be changed

You get a notice when you are over the limit or the clan leader accept or rejects your join request.

MPR Limit

There is a limit to prevent too many strong characters join a clan. The limit is calculated with an unknown formula and based on the games top 5 player stats. The limit can only be seen by the clan leader. It is just calculated for one player. That means, if you can accept a character of up to 3,000,000 MPR does that "not" equals 2 players with 1,500,000 MPR. So if you let the first character in, the next one might has to have a much lower MPR. Additionally the limit decreases when the clans characters grow.
