Map & Capture Points

Every Army Commander Tycoon server plays on one octagonal island with 17 capture points (A–Q): 13 on land, 4 oil platforms at sea, and a flag at the central Airfield. Up to eight bases (players and AI rivals) sit around the edge. Holding points pays bonus income.

Overview

The COMMAND map: lettered points, landmarks, AI rival bases (red) and your base (yellow, bottom).

Your base is shown in yellow; rival players and AI commanders (for example “Col. Duarte · AI rival”) sit in the other slots, each with their rank. Map layers include UNITS, NAMES, ORDERS, LANDMARKS, GRID and RELIEF, and a legend and points list are in the bottom corner.

Names are the landmark labels printed under each lettered circle on the COMMAND map. The central Airfield (flag) is where the Kill Race mini-event is held.

Points and income

  • Each held point adds an income bonus; we have seen totals of 8%, 16% and 24% at different times.
  • Losing one triggers “NEUTRALISED: you lost its income. Send your army to retake it!”.
  • Allies cannot take each other's points. Shared alliance income is currently bugged; the developer says it will be fixed soon.
  • Helicopters cannot capture points yet; the developer plans to change that.

Rivals and AI

Empty slots are filled with AI rival commanders that build, attack and capture like players. AI rivals have their own promotion ranks and can be raided since Update 2: break their gate and destroy their Supply Depot for Cash. You can send AI rivals alliance requests, though players report they often refuse (the developer is considering changing this).

FAQ

How many capture points are there?

The COMMAND map shows 17 lettered points, A to Q: 13 on the island and 4 oil platforms at sea (Rig A–D, points N–Q).

What does Radar Hill do?

Without it the map reads “NO RADAR · take Radar Hill to see every enemy”. Capturing it reveals all enemy units on your map.

How do you capture the oil rigs?

Rigs A–D are at sea, so you need boats. The Landing Craft captures oil platforms twice as fast as other boats.
