Notable Event Features

PLAYER EXCLUSIVE EVENT BASE ( T ) : A Player Exclusive Event Base is a Rogue Faction Event Base that is attached to each Player's Base for the entirety of the Event. This event base will serve as the target for all Attacking Waves for the player. The event base may only be attacked by the player to which it is attached. The event base will remain in a Protection Bubble until the player has reached a Attack Wave. During Attack Waves the the bubble is removed and the player is allowed access to the event base. The Level and Layout of the base will change based on the players current attack wave. The event base will always appear under a Protection Bubble to all other players. The colored hexagon that adjoins the player's base to the event base may only be occupied by the player to which it is attached throughout the duration of the event. This insures the player will always have at least one hex to gain access to the event base.
