DRPSD Guidance - Active Defense Preparation
Upgrading Stronghold to Level V
This is a big step for many reasons, but primarily the activation of the defense exposes the clan to weekly tournaments where the clan can gain or lose the precious industrial resources needed to grow its footprint in the World of Tanks. The "Stronghold Defense" tournaments brings a stronger concept of "Clanism" to the clan if managed appropriately, due to the raiding other clan's resources for self growth and of course defending against raids of its enemies.
The Derp Side plans to use this moment to its advantage by training its personal in a way that elevates them individually and can elevate the clan in synchronicity. The clan is also disclosing its plan of growth and best practices through public documentation to be used in it future evolution wherever it takes it.
Skirmish Activation Overview
Activating the skirmish puts the clan in a high alert phase that will allow DRPSD to defend against attacking clans and also provoke and make attacks against other similar valued clans earning resources proportionate to the clans' stockpiles. A clan is able to attack out of its similar industrial resource ranges if it is able to attack with a low level Command Center (bellow Tier VIII) at a high stronghold defense rating, meaning they must battle with Tier X's and a larger team size. This allows two types of clans to benefit in desired normal stagnated growth periods:
A New Strong Clan - they are always looking for the challenge and can earn more
The Mighty that have Fallen - they consumed their CC levels to protect their assets
DRPSD uses strongholds for a training grounds into clan wars. Participation will determine the chance for participation in DRPSD clan wars. Some members will immediately be accepted into an XO's legion.
Weekly Clan Growth Guidance
Stronghold Preparation
In this guide it will be discussed what is needed of the stronghold in preparation for activating the defense of the stronghold. Blindly constructing the level V Command Center without understanding what their clan will face would not be wise without understanding what stronghold must contain and have stockpiled in preparations for the up coming clan wars.
Clan Preparation
Building a clan and participating in a clan that runs skirmishes is not the same as one that participates in Strongholds by night and day. One is obligated itself for a specific commitment while the other is just saying "You're kewl, let's hangout sometime", and it is very important to understand the difference. With this article we will discuss how a clan is formed from conception through stronghold preparation tactics.
Officer Preparation
A clan is defined by the officers it keeps and it officers are defined by the clan it manages. The guidance provided will assist DRPSD officers in preparation for entering into the Stronghold Defense period, and give insight into what is beyond. We have many dedicated officers but we need more and need it to expand beyond IRL. The guidance here will discuss aspects of how a clan should manage its officers to ensure that it can survive issues that arise in real life, regardless of the officer it occurs to. The guidance will provide a way for a clan to avoid such issues before they arise.
In addition, the guidance is used for full clan disclosure. The Derp Side will grow with transparency and officer dedication, and this understanding will be provided in this guideline.
Derp Side Preparation
All three discussed guidance's of clan growth are incorporated into the Derp Side strategy and the next phase is revealed. As most DRPSD member's should know without reading this our intent is to train ourselves using the stronghold defense activation. If the officers and commander are ready the clan will use its accumulated influence to attack the most tactical points on the clan wars map.
This guidance will discuss the beginnings of Clan wars as what clan members can expect from this change.
