Marches

A March is a group of troops sent from your city on a mission across the world map. Marches are used for attacking, gathering, reinforcing allies, occupying territory, and other activities.

Overview

Marches are the fundamental unit of action in Whiteout Survival's world map layer. When you send troops anywhere — whether to attack an enemy, gather resources, or reinforce an ally — they travel as a march. The number of simultaneous marches you can have active is limited and expandable.

March Types

Attack March

Sent to attack another player's city, a monster camp, or an event target. Attack marches engage the target's defenders in combat.

Gathering March

Sent to resource tiles (Meat, Wood, Coal, Iron) on the world map to collect resources and return them to your city. See Food Gathering, Wood Gathering, Coal Mining, and Iron Mining for details.

Reinforcement March

Sent to an alliance member's city to bolster their garrison. Reinforcement troops fight alongside the recipient's troops if their city is attacked. See Embassy for details.

Scouting March

A reconnaissance mission sent to gather intelligence about another player's city before an attack. See Scouting for details.

Rally March

A coordinated multi-player attack where an alliance leader initiates a rally and multiple members contribute troops that attack simultaneously. Very powerful for defeating strong targets.

March Capacity

Each march has a capacity — the maximum number of troops it can carry. March capacity is determined by:

Command Center level (primary factor)
Growth Research March Capacity technologies
Heroes with March Capacity bonuses
VIP level bonuses

A larger march capacity means more troops per attack or more resources per gathering trip.

March Count

The number of simultaneous marches you can send is limited:

Base: 2 marches
Increases with Command Center upgrades
Further increases from research and VIP levels

Maximizing your march count is critical for efficient gathering (more simultaneous gathering marches) and combat (multiple attack marches during events).

March Speed

How fast marches travel across the world map is influenced by:

The distance to the target
Research technologies boosting March Speed
Heroes with March Speed bonuses
VIP level bonuses

Faster marches reduce the time between sending troops and engaging the target.

Tips

Keep marches active: Idle march capacity is wasted potential — always have gathering marches running when not in combat.
Upgrade the Command Center: More marches means more gathering income and more combat flexibility.
Use the right march for the task: Don't send attack-configured marches on gathering trips — set up the composition correctly.
Coordinate rally attacks: For powerful targets in events, use rally attacks with multiple alliance members contributing troops.
Watch march timers: Marches tie up troops for their duration — plan around your troops being unavailable during the march.
