Cold Waves & Temperature Zones

In Season 2, the map is split into temperature zones ranging from –15°C to –80°C, with the Capitol being the coldest area. These freezing conditions are a constant threat, and mismanaging your Furnace or buffs can result in immobile troops and failed rallies.

🌡️ Temperature Zones

Zone	Temp	Required Furnace Level
Southern Plains	–15°C	5+
Central Zone	–30°C	10+
L4–5 City Ring	–50°C	18–22
Rare Soil Ring	–60°C	24–28
Capitol Area	–80°C	30

🔥 Furnace & Fuel Use

Your Furnace must be:

Upgraded to unlock movement into colder zones
Fueled with Titanium Alloy at all times

Furnace Overdrive temporarily boosts cold resistance — use it before long marches or PvP.

Tips:

Never let your Furnace run out mid-march
Don’t over-upgrade early — balance fuel costs
Time movement with fuel recharge cycles

🪫 Overdrive & Buff Synergy

To move or rally in –60°C+ zones:

Activate Overdrive
Use Recon Plane buffs (movement speed, fuel efficiency)
Stack profession Cold Duration nodes

Duration matters — plan your route before enabling the buff.

🧊 Cold Wave Events

Cold Waves occur frequently and reduce map temperatures even further. During waves:

Zones can drop by –10°C to –15°C depending on wave strength
PvP slows due to fuel risk
Farming outside city zones becomes harder

Plan Ahead:

Store Coal
Delay long-range attacks
Use PvE content or short-range farm targets instead of risky marches

🧠 Notes by Player Type

F2P:

Get to Furnace L22+ before major Cold Wave zones
Don’t overcommit in –60°C zones without Overdrive
Join rallies instead of leading long marches

Light Spender:

Time Furnace upgrades with Arms Race
Invest in Recon buffs during Cold Wave weekends
Manage Titanium wisely — it’s easy to go dry

Whale:

Max Furnace by Week 5
Preload fuel before wars
Lead during Cold Wave PvP — others will hesitate
