Assembly Point

Assembly Point
 "Send and receive Timer Help and defensive reinforcements at the Assembly Point. Upgrade to increase Timer Help limit and duration, and Reinforcement Capacity."

Description
The Assembly Point is the precursor to the Command Station, and in order to upgrade the command station, a player must upgrade the Assembly Point first.

In player versus player combat (PvP) and in the infected horde event, this building is essential in receiving reinforcements from allies if the player is in an alliance. The number of troops able to be received may also be increased by researching Reinforcement Capacity I, II, III, IV and V in the alliance tech.

If a player is in an alliance, the timer help function reduces the time taken to construct, research and heal, but this is dependent on the allies selecting help. The amount reduced is calculated in seconds; therefore, if a player has a level 30 assembly point, an ally selecting help will reduce the time by 97 seconds. The number of timer helps able to be received may be increased by Timer Helps I, II, III, IV and V in the alliance tech, and the amount of seconds reduced by a help may be increased by Timer Help Duration I, II, III, IV and V in the alliance tech.

Currently, there is no cap provided to the amount of assists provided when healing, which has lead to alliances using this ability to quick heal during wars and capital clashes. Players will heal in small batches, and a number of allies will select help, drastically decreasing the time taken to heal troops.
