The world is divided into sectors. Within a sector, players earn points to compete for the mayor title.
The entire world is split into huge sectors: each has roughly 117 thousand hexes. A sector is like a "city" with its own residents and mayor. You can find your sector by the icon in the top-left corner of the map.
Points are awarded automatically for every captured hex. The current number of points is shown above the sector name in the top-left corner of the screen.
When a player reaches 10 points in a sector, neutral propaganda towers appear in it. The server usually tries to place up to seven towers: one closer to the sector center and the rest closer to the edges, but occupied places are not overwritten. Towers can be captured like ordinary neutral hexes. Capturing a tower brings 200 sector-rating points and helps in the fight for the mayor title.
The player with the highest number of points in a sector becomes mayor. Read about the mayor election and weekly taxes in the article "Mayor and taxes".
