Township Battle Battlefield Rules and Overview in Rohan Online
Township Battle (TSB) is not a free-for-all fight. The battlefield follows specific rules that determine how guilds compete, how points are scored, and what happens to the losers. Knowing the rules before entering saves your guild from costly mistakes during the limited 18-player roster and gives you a tactical edge over guilds that enter unprepared.
This guide covers the core battlefield structure and the key systems that govern how TSB plays out each Saturday.
Core Objective
The main goal on the TSB battlefield is to capture and hold the base (Stronghold). Your guild scores points by controlling the stronghold over time. The guild with the most points at the end of the battle wins — not simply the guild that holds the base at the final moment.
This scoring structure means constant pressure. Even a guild that captures the stronghold late can still win if the point gap is small enough.
Participant Rules
Before entering the battlefield, every participating guild must follow these roster rules:
- Each guild sends exactly 18 players
- The Guild Master must be one of the 18
- Players must be registered during the official registration window before battle begins
There is no changing your roster once the battle starts. Choose your best 18 before registration closes.
Alliance Rules
Guild Masters can form alliances before TSB starts. Allied guilds can cooperate on the battlefield against common enemies. Alliances must be arranged through the TSB NPC in any town during the registration window. Only Guild Masters can forge alliances.
What Counts as Winning
The guild that accumulates the most points by the end of the TSB session wins. Points come from holding the stronghold. Kills may also contribute to point totals depending on current rules — check the official battlefield guide for detailed scoring breakdowns.
The top-scoring guild is declared the Ruling Guild and receives:
- Champion's Uniform for all 18 participants
- 10% tax rights from all NPC vendors for one week
Restrictions on the Battlefield
The TSB battlefield has unique restrictions not found in normal open-world PvP:
- Guild Recall is disabled inside the battlefield
- Party-matching summons are blocked — no remote summons inside
- Standard combat rules apply otherwise
These restrictions create a more contained, strategic environment where coordination matters more than raw numbers.
What Happens to Losing Guilds
Guilds that participated in TSB but did not win are not left with nothing. They gain access to the Invasion Route dungeon — a protected grinding area available only to TSB participants that week. Entering Invasion Route requires 1 billion crones paid from the Guild Bank and gives a safe farming area free from enemy guild interference.
What Happens to Non-Participating Guilds
Guilds that did not register for TSB cannot enter the battlefield at all. However, their unguilded members or anyone from a non-participating guild can watch the battle using Observer Mode by purchasing a ticket from the Township Battle Mediator NPC.
Quick Tips
- Focus on the stronghold, not just kills — point accumulation wins the battle.
- Coordinate your 18 players in advance. Communication before Saturday matters more than raw gear.
- Use alliances to gang up on the current stronghold holder.
- Even if you lose, enter the Invasion Route to get value from that week's TSB participation.
