Warhammer Online at Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMOG Gamers to the Next Level!

There's a great new guide on Mythic Entertainment's official Warhammer Online site. Sacking a city is explained in detail, beginning with the capture of T4 fortresses, to holding off enemy players and finally to the City Public Quests themselves. Before you head out on a mission to capture Altdorf or the Inevitable City, be sure to read through this guide.

It’s worth noting that during the attack and defense portion of a contested city, contribution points towards the capture of a city are scaled based on the population of both sides, not just one lump sum for either side. This ensures that a defending force with smaller numbers has a fighting chance to hold off the invaders. However, you can overcome the scaling with a sufficiently large force. If a group of 300 are taking on a group of 30, they should rightly be allowed to win. The idea is for the defending force to show up in droves to protect their King, and if they can’t be bothered to do so, there’s no reason the enemy shouldn’t take the city.
