This isn't just a popularity contest; it’s a direct reflection of how we’re actually playing the game. Starting February 20, every milestone you hit in the faction skill trees contributes to a global leaderboard. If you’ve been leaning heavily into specific technological paths or social structures, your playstyle is now a weapon in the meta-narrative of the Frostland.
The scoring system is straightforward but rewards deep investment in city-building. Here is how you can contribute to your faction's standing:
- Skill Tree Milestones: Each major unlock earns your faction 1 point.
- Enacting a Utopia: Successfully guiding your city to a Utopian vision grants a massive 5 points.
The event is structured around weekly duels. 11 bit studios will announce these matchups across X, Discord, and Reddit, where players will fight to see which ideology advances. Beyond the bragging rights of being the Community’s Favourite Faction, there are weekly tribute awards up for grabs for active participants.
For those looking to coordinate, the official Discord has opened dedicated roles and channels. Whether you’re a die-hard Technocrat or a traditionalist, the next seven weeks will determine which vision of humanity truly thrives in the frost. It’s time to see if your strategic optimization can actually win a war of ideals.
