Battle Point

Battle Points are special points you gain while battling. You can only gain points from battling humans, and only if those human players have a battle rank close to yours.

Every time you fight a battle and win, you may earn Battle points. The amount that you earn depends on what your Battle Rank is, and the Battle Rank of your opponent. If both of you are at the same rank, you will earn 10 battle points for winning. If you have one rank higher than your opponent, you will win 8 battle points. If you are two ranks higher, you will earn 6. Etc. If you are one rank below your opponent, you will earn 12 battle points. If you are two ranks below your opponent, you will earn 14 battle points. Etc. If you lose the battle however, you lose half the battle points you could have won. So if you are both the same rank, instead of winning 10 battle points, you lose 5.

While you can lose battle points, you will never lose your rank. If you had won enough battle points to become a High General, and you lose all your battle points, you can still be a High General with 0 battle points with all the benefits (except for the one that's important... See below).

Battle Rank Rewards
For gaining battle ranks, you can earn a variety of rewards. In each tier, there are 3 separate ranks. For the first two ranks in a tier, you will earn 5 skill points for reaching that rank. For the third rank in each tier, you gain the ability to buy special units, armor, or magic. Each item has an incremental cost. This means that every time you buy these items, the cost to buy them will increase (just like buying land). Below where it says "incremental cost", it means that for every 1 that you buy, the price will increase by the incremental cost. If you buy 5 at a time, the next time you buy that item, the cost will be the original cost, plus the incremental cost times 5. So if the base cost is 350,000, and the incremental cost is 35,000, after buying 5 items, the new cost is:

350,000 + (35,000*5) = 525,000

Note:

 * While you may never move down a rank you still should try to maintain enough battle points to qualify for your current battle rank. If you are a high general, and your battle points are below 32,500, you will not be able to buy archangels.  However, once you get your battle points back up to 32,500, you will again be able to buy archangels.  Thankfully, you will only run into this problem with the units/weapons/magic items you can buy.  You will never lose the bonus skill points you earn from battle ranks.
