The more Victory Points you get from this pool, the lower the chance gets.

The chance to win a second Victory Point is high when the pool of 200 Victory Points is full or near full.

When you begin your game, there is a pool of 200 bonus Victory Points which you can get from Blackguard Bases.Blackguard Bases can award a second Victory Point when they are destroyed.

This comes at the cost of only obtaining a fraction of the Resources you would earn if you destroyed it yourself unless you upgrade the tribe to level 5, as well as the inability to obtain Prototype Modules or Power Stones that are larger than Fragments.

If you have Tribes available to help you, they can use their native militia to help you destroy Blackguard Bases in their region.

The more you beat, the harder new ones will be.

As you defeat more and more Blackguard Bases, they get progressively harder.

Some variations of a base may even have Mines or Boom Mines while other variations do not.

This also affects that base's XP level.

Each base has a specific layout, but the levels of defenses can vary.

For example: some bases have 10 Boom Cannons while the most a player can have is five.

The Defensive Buildings do not follow the rules of a player base.

These are good for easily replenishing Gunboat energy. Although, many of them do have Supply Buildings.

Each Blackguard base has its own setup of Defensive Buildings and, sometimes, some Support Buildings.

If you have built the Weapon Lab, they also have an 8% chance to award a Prototype Module.

If you are in a Task Force, they also have a 25% chance of awarding one piece of Intel.

These bases give decent amounts of life, magma, and ice Power Stones (depending on the the island's terrain), Resources, and 1-2 Victory Points.

Destroying a player-created Blackguard base generally yields 10% more resource rewards than a Blackguard base created by Supercell.

When scouting such a base, the name of the designer of the base will appear in the top-left corner.

Blackguard bases that are designed by players will have a pair of hammers above the red circle denoting the base's experience level.

Most Blackguard bases are designed by Supercell themselves, however there are many other Blackguard bases designed by players through the Blackguard Base Builder.

The fewer Blackguard bases you have on your Archipelago, the more likely it is that more will appear.

Like Mercenary bases, Blackguard Bases appear in random locations around your Archipelago.

Blackguard bases are bases controlled by the Blackguard that appear regularly in the Archipelago.
