    Know Your Battlefield Side

    Sandsea Conquest is a three-sided battlefield where each side begins in a randomly assigned territory. Battle notices may use the territory name instead of the alliance name.

    Blood Forged is red, Imperium is purple, and Honorbound is yellow. Your main base is both the starting position and respawn point.

    Set the Roster and Squads

    Registration provides 30 main places and 10 substitute places, with no more than 30 players active on the battlefield at once.

    Organise the roster into six squads of up to seven members. Give each squad a route or objective before the battle so movement stays coordinated.

    Use the Tactician Carefully

    One Tactician supports your side with battlefield buffs, and the role can be changed during the match.

    If the Tactician enters a battle inside a building, they cannot leave until that fight ends. A defeated Tactician awards points to the opposition, so avoid unnecessary exposure.

    Control Routes Through Vessel Stations

    Each territory connects to six Vessel Stations. These are the access points between territories, and enemies can use the same connections to enter yours.

    Buildings form linked routes across the map. Secure the route behind an advance and defend the stations that keep reinforcements moving.

  5. Playbook

    Manage All Three Marches

    You can control three marches independently. Use them to occupy, defend, or attack buildings instead of stacking every march in one place.

    When an occupied building is attacked, that battle must finish before control can change. Watch connected routes and move spare marches where they can protect access or support an objective.

  6. Playbook

    Contest the High-Value Objectives

    The central Drilling Platform opens during the match and is reached through the surrounding Vessel Stations and routes. Lighthouses can also be captured and may change hands throughout the battle.

    Keep squads focused on the current objective, maintain the route needed to reach it, and use the Tactician's support where it has the greatest value.

    Battle priorities
    • Protect the route from your main base.
    • Control the Vessel Stations needed for movement.
    • Capture and defend Lighthouses when assigned.
    • Contest the Drilling Platform when it becomes available.
    • Keep squads together and follow Tactician calls.
