It’s always tough when a cherished feature vanishes from a favorite pastime, whether in gaming, tabletop, or beyond. But today marks a rare treat: a fan-favorite is making a comeback! Conflict of Nations: WW3 is reintroducing its popular clan-versus-clan Elite Challenges.
What’s the deal? Elite Challenges are team-based showdowns where alliances clash head-to-head. Unlike standard alliance battles, these require a rank of 25 or higher to join, and gold usage is strictly off-limits.
This is the ultimate test of skill and tactics for Conflict of Nations enthusiasts. To celebrate the feature’s return, two challenge maps—Mediterranean and Antarctica—will be available. You’ll also start with double the resources, production, and access to the tech tree on day 10, paving the way for larger armies and more varied tech strategies.

It’s easy to see why Elite Challenges won over the player base. As Dorado Games notes, though, implementing them became trickier as the community grew. The absence of premium currency, creating a truly even playing field, is sure to delight nearly every player.
