<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''City Power''' (also called '''Might''') is the numerical score that represents the overall development and strength of your city in Whiteout Survival. It is a composite metric derived from all aspects of your city — buildings, troops, research, heroes, and gear.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
City Power is the single number displayed on your city profile that other players see. It is used to:<br />
* Match players against appropriate opponents in certain events<br />
* Serve as a benchmark for your progression relative to other players<br />
* Determine your rank on state leaderboards<br />
* Qualify (or disqualify) you for certain event tiers<br />
<br />
== What Contributes to City Power ==<br />
City Power is increased by:<br />

! Source !! Contribution Notes<br />
|-<br />
| Building Levels || Each upgrade adds significant power<br />
|-<br />
| Troop Count || Each trained troop adds power (permanent, even if killed)<br />
|-<br />
| Research Completions || Every technology adds power<br />
|-<br />
| Hero Levels and Stars || Higher hero levels add power<br />
|-<br />
| Gear Equipped || [[Hero Gears]] and [[Chief Gears]] add power when equipped<br />
|-<br />
| [[Furnace]] Level || Major power milestone gates<br />
|-<br />
| [[Alliance Technology]] || Shared alliance research may contribute<br />

Note: Troop deaths do NOT reduce your City Power — the power is earned when troops are trained, not when they fight.<br />
<br />
== Power vs. Combat Effectiveness ==<br />
'''City Power is NOT a direct measure of combat strength.''' Two players with identical City Power can have very different fighting effectiveness depending on:<br />
* How much power came from troops vs. buildings vs. research<br />
* The tier level of their troops (T4 troops are worth far more than T1)<br />
* Their hero compositions and levels<br />
* Their gear quality and set bonuses<br />
<br />
A player with 50% of their power in high-tier troops will defeat one with the same total power but mostly low-tier troops.<br />
<br />
== Power Gates ==<br />
[[Furnace]] upgrades are the primary power gates. Each Furnace level milestone:<br />
* Unlocks higher building levels<br />
* Unlocks new research tiers<br />
* Enables higher-tier troop training<br />
* Provides major power jumps<br />
<br />
See [[Furnace]] for milestone details.<br />
<br />
== Event Matchmaking ==<br />
Some events use City Power to match players against similar opponents. This can create incentives around power management — some competitive players deliberately delay power gains to stay in lower-power brackets where they dominate.<br />
<br />
== Tips ==<br />
* '''Don't obsess over power:''' Raw City Power is not a reliable indicator of who will win a fight — focus on building effective armies with good troops, heroes, and gear.<br />
* '''Balance all sources:''' A well-rounded city (balanced buildings, research, and troops) performs better than a city that maximized one area.<br />
* '''Upgrade the Furnace first:''' Furnace upgrades unlock the most impactful power sources across all categories.<br />
* '''High-tier troops matter most:''' The best way to be powerful AND effective is to have large numbers of high-tier troops.<br />
