As a player, you gain experience points each time you play a War of the Avatars campaign. Many players play in several different campaigns at the same time or start in a new campaign as soon as they have finished developing their realm in an older campaign. The experience points you earn in each campaign are totaled to determine your overall Player Ranking. As you advance in rank, you will be invited to join special campaigns open only to players with your level of experience and skill.

A player gains experience points for a number of general accomplishments listed below. The actual number of points awarded for each accomplishment depend on the overall difficulty of a campaign, the experience of your opponents, the length of time the game has progressed, the magnitude of your accomplishment, and so on. If we didn't use computers to figure it all out we would probably use a much simpler system. But since we have all these computers, we might as well put them to good use.
