Direct answer
What should you do?
Move the MCV only when the new location improves information, access, reinforcement, or alliance control. Before moving, compare vision, travel time, nearby threats, support range, resource value, and the route back.
Key takeaways
- Location is an upgrade: a safer, better-informed position can be worth more than a small stat increase.
- Scout the destination and route before moving.
- Coordinate major MCV movement with watchtower, fortress, or alliance objectives.
1. Evaluate a position before moving
A good MCV position balances access and safety. It should reveal or reach something valuable without placing the base beyond alliance support or next to a stronger threat. A distant resource is not valuable if the route consumes time and exposes the return.
Use watchtower vision, scouting, alliance reports, and map travel time to compare the current position with the destination.
- What new information or objective does the move unlock?
- How quickly can allies reinforce the position?
- Which routes remain available if the area becomes contested?
2. Use the MCV as part of a formation
The Mobile Fortress is not isolated from troop and hero planning. Its location affects reinforcement, response time, and which fights you can support. Move after deciding the formation's job: scout, gather, hold, reinforce, or prepare an attack.
Avoid using the MCV as bait unless the alliance has a specific response plan. Visible movement can reveal intent to other commanders.
- Keep a defensive option available during long movement.
- Do not separate the base from the troops needed for the next objective.
- Tell allies before moving into shared contested space.
3. Create a repeatable move checklist
A short checklist prevents emotional moves after a resource sighting or enemy appearance. Confirm vision, destination, support, recovery, and exit before every major reposition.
After arriving, reassess. The map may have changed during travel, and the original reason for moving may no longer justify staying.
- Before: reveal and compare.
- During: monitor alliance and threat movement.
- After: confirm the position still supports the intended objective.
Decision table
| Move reason | Positive signal | Warning signal |
|---|---|---|
| Gather resources | Safe access and short return | Reward is isolated beyond support |
| Support alliance | Clear objective and reinforcement route | No rally or defense plan |
| Scout haze | Watchtower or path information is available | Destination and return are both hidden |
| Avoid pressure | New area has multiple safe routes | Move enters another commander's control zone |
