How to join or create and manage a clan

IPaul72:   Greetings Commanders!   We are honored to welcome you to our guide which we hope that will assist you to have a successful and long lasting clan which has strong structure behind it. If you want to run a clan and achieve things as a team but you don't know how, you are at the right topic!   Series of Clan interviews "How to successfully manage a clan" Here we will include links to "How to successfully manage a clan" interviews with clans.   Official guides     1 - Clans   First things first, lets start with how to create a clan and manage it!   Or maybe you would like to join a clan which is already created?   In order to create a successful clan structure, you need to have clan mates(players) first.   Also knowing about positions in the clan is useful, especially when it comes to the permissions!   And of course big pile of gold, maybe not yet but this is our aim isn't it? Clan treasury!   2 - Global Map   Well, we created our clan and invited some players/friends and thanks to them, they accepted us as their friends which they can rely on battlefield and we united under our clan's banner's also we do know who is doing what and we already started to dream about how we are going to split the booty. Good but what is next? Next thing is fighting at the battlefield and earn your share of the prizes but in order to do that, you need to know where you are going to do that, right? Answer is Global Map!   Of course you would like to get used to the interface of Global Map since this will be your main field which you will decide about your strategies and finding your enemies or allies. In order to perform actions on Global Map, you need to know it's Geography and Time, right? And I am pretty sure that you would like to know how to confirm your actions or whether your actions are applied or not?   3 - Landing   Now you know about the Global Map and you already decided which part of the map you would like to fight but how? To take a part in the battles on Global Map, you need to enter to the map first and you can do this through landing zones and this is the guide for how you can apply for Landing Zones! You applied for a landing zone or zones but how it works? There might be other clan's which would like to enter the Global Map through this landing zone! You are right! You need to prevail in the Landing Tournament first to challenge the Landing Zone Owner! You are not afraid of such tournament? Good, now you can apply your tactics at the battlefields and crush your enemies but to do so, you need to field your team at the battle!   4 - Expansion   After you won the battle against landing owner, you become the new landing zone owner and you need to defend this landing zone everyday(when Global Map is open and working functionally) and probably you would like to expand. Here, this guide explains how to perform actions to expand your territories! But don't forget, there is different stages of the battle! Also, please be advised; if you lose tanks on province battles or in battle with landing owner, depending on the tier and class of your vehicle, your vehicle gets blocked! Here is the list and guide for vehicle blocking!    5 - Resources   As you expanded and carry the banner of your clan forward, you will face with different complexities such as managing your clan resources optimally! Let's start with your Headquarters since this is very important for you and your clan because no headquarter means, no gold and no more new chips on the global map to fight with other clans, so this is important! Also disposition of your forces is very important thing which you need to choose what to do wisely! Expanding aggressively might force you to have some reserves to have more flexibility and to do so you need to control your Reserve carefully! Another thing which you might want to keep an eye on is Revolts! You wouldn't like to lose your lands suddenly, would you?   6 - Special Operations   You are running your clan smoothly and you are fighting at the global map bravely but how about the special operations which might give you some advantages on your path to the World Domination? How about starting with a Ransack which gives you the ability after conquering a province, looting it and then tactical withdrawal! Espionage is providing information about the clans which is performed, information could come in handy most of the times and will help the determine who is going to win, after all as Sun Tzu said; "If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles." Of course you wouldn't like to give information about you to the other clans to keep the upper hand, this is why you should pay attention to the Counter-Espionage actions!   7 - Leaving the map   You prevailed in landing tournament and challenged the landing owner clan and succeeded? You even achieved to conquer more provinces? Congratulations! But now you would like to challenge other clans which is landed another part of the map and it is a bit hard to go there from where you are, because of that you want to leave the map and land from somewhere close to the point where you would like to move or simply you would like to get some rest and suspend participation to the Clan Wars? This is the guide explains how to leave the map easily!
