How Ratings Work

Your total rating is the sum of three components, each measuring a different aspect of your play:

Offense Rating

Based on your tournament kills relative to the server average. High offense means you're an effective combatant.

Bombing Rating

Based on enemy armies you've bombed on planets. Essential for weakening enemy territory before invasion.

Planet Rating

Based on planets you've conquered by dropping armies. The most strategically important rating — planets win games.

Defense rating is tracked separately and measures your survival skill (ticks alive vs. deaths).
