Clash for the Throne
Clash for the Throne explained: from Conquest Points to choosing a King
Understand the two stages, choose your role and find the right preparation, safety and voting guide before the event begins.

The event in one minute
Clash for the Throne, sometimes called Clash of Thrones by players, chooses a Kingdom's King. It normally runs for two days: earn Conquest Points on day one, then qualifying Senators vote on day two. The top 100 qualify for the Senate; the leading scorer receives the Princeps title.
This is a useful event to plan as a Clan rather than treat as another reason to send every available troop into battle. Decide whether you want to compete, support others or protect your resources while the contest takes place.
Choose your role before spending
| Your aim | A useful first step | What to avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Compete for a Senate place | Check the live ranking and set a recovery budget | Treating an early position as a guaranteed finish |
| Help your Clan organise | Agree candidates, contacts and availability | Assuming everyone has seen the same plan |
| Stay out of the contest | Review City protection and portal exposure | Ignoring the event because you do not intend to attack |
| Prepare to vote | Check availability for the voting window | Spending on qualification and then missing the vote |
Talk through the commitment before the event becomes busy. A player who can only log in briefly may prefer a supporting role to a prolonged ranking contest. There is no need for every Clan member to pursue the same objective.
Where Conquest Points fit
Conquest Points are also a research resource used for Specialists and army modernisation. They can come from fighting other players and from other rewards. Keep the event ranking separate from your Academy spending plan: use the tournament's displayed score to judge progress.
Shadow Invasion is another source of CP when available. Its epic allows the Hero and Captains to fight together. Check whether it overlaps your scoring window; do not assume it is active just because Clash for the Throne is approaching.
Before claiming a reward containing CP, consider whether you want to influence your event position. Review the current rules and score display rather than assuming only deliberate player attacks matter.
Qualification is only part of the decision
A position in the top 100 prevents Shield of Peace activation. Read the City safety guide before chasing a place, and make sure you can manage the resulting exposure.
For a planned attempt, use Before you chase the top 100. It covers budgets, test battles, communication and a stopping rule. More fighting is not automatically better progress if it consumes the army you need for other goals.
What happens after scoring
Day two is the election, not another opportunity to compensate for missing a voting plan. Read Senate voting and Faron before it begins, particularly if your Clan is coordinating a candidate.
The King can use the Royal Treasury and assign beneficial or harmful titles. That makes the outcome relevant beyond the players competing for rank. Ask your Clan what arrangements it hopes to support rather than guessing from the leaderboard alone.
Plan around the live event window
Use the calendar for an estimate, then confirm the actual stage and deadline in-game. Write down the scoring finish and voting finish with an explicit timezone. A message saying only “tonight” is easy to misread in an international Clan.
Allow time to review reports, recover troops, check protection and confirm your vote. Avoid making a last-minute attack the only way your plan can succeed.
