Nordenwatch is a 12-on-12 Scenario in Tier 1 Chaos vs. Empire. Anyone between levels 1-12 can hop in this Scenario and duke it out.

There are three capture locations in this scenario - the Fortress, the Barracks, and the Lighthouse - which can be taken by standing near the banner marking each locale. The more players in the area (up to 6), the faster they will capture the location. When a player enters a capture area, they will see a small bar on the UI that begins to fill . Once the bar has been filled, it is considered owned by the capturing Realm and they are rewarded with points that count towards your goal of 500. The longer a location is held, the more points the team will earn.

Each capture area has a flag that will be brightly marked so players can see which side owns that location at a glance. They will also be able to see who owns the locations by opening up their map and looking at the flag icons.

From each spawn location, players will be presented with the options of trying to capture a location nearby, head further into the island to take the Fortress, or cut left/right to take a shot at the enemy right away. The Barracks and Lighthouse can be approached from multiple angles, but the Fortress can only be approached along two paths. For those that prefer to avoid direct conflict right away, there are several back-route paths that let you move discreetly around the map without venturing into the open areas between the capture locations.

A team's best bet for winning this Scenario is to focus on capturing two locations and holding them. You'll need to split your forces to mount a strong defense at each location, but expect one of them to soon be overwhelmed by the enemy hungry to capture as second locale. Unless you are specifically guarding an area, expect to always be on the move reinforcing weakened positions or attacking vulnerable locations. Oh, and one last thing: the Fortress is the furthest capture point from the spawn locations but it gives more points over time. It is a good one to take early and hold on to, but expect some massive battles to take place up there!
