Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade is part of a universe that is all about people fighting and killing over inches of mud on a battlefield. Naturally, that makes up a fairly good part of the gameplay, and the game’s territory control mechanics are there to make it clear exactly what four-inch stretch of pummeled dirt belongs to your chosen faction. The latest state of the game letter explains how this system will work with the strategic portion of the game’s mechanics.
Players have several options before dropping into conflict, ranging from carefully plotting over what territory to assault to just jumping into the most active battlezone. There are also different objectives depending on the nature of the territory being assaulted, and while the defending faction always wants to repel the attackers, there are different ways to accomplish that. Take a look at the full writeup for a clear picture of how winning and losing points on a map tie into overall strategy and survival.
