Control Point: In the center of each state's map is a control point.  Whichever alliance controls the structure in the middle receives bonus rewards and taxes from other alliances while its being held.

Farm: An unprotected proxy account set up to harvest resources.  You then attack that account with your primary account to collect the resources.

First March: When two players approach a resource at the same time, "First March" refers to the player who first initiated movement to the tile.  It is considered courteous to allow the "first march" access to the tile.

Forest Farming: High level tiles appear in the forests surrounding control points.  Resource gathering of these tiles is called forest farming.  Players should be weary of gathering these resources, as typically the controlling alliance guards them jealously.

Ghost Rally: When you rally your troops for war, they are not available to be attacked by opponents.  If you do this, and later cancel the rally, its known as a "Ghost Rally".  It can be an effective way to protect your troops while you are away from the game.

Hive: Alliances often form as a cluster of players on the map for mutual support.  These are called Hives.

Jumper: Jumper accounts take advantage of level 5 and lower ability to move between states.  A Jumper will max out buildings, research, traps, and troops, and then teleport into a brand new state where they have an advantage over new accounts spawning.  A Jumper alliance is a group of Jumpers that all do this together, so they can get the early edge as top alliance in a new state.

NAP: "No Attack Pact" or "No Aggression Pact".  Its basically a cease fire.

KE: There will always be challenges running at any given time, for which you earn bonus rewards for completing tasks.  One such event is the "Kill Event", or "KE", where you earn points for damaging or killing opponent troops, traps, and power.

Port: players can buy or earn teleport abilities to move their base around the map.  There are two types of teleportation: random, and site to site.

SOS: Shoot on sight.  It is a mandate of an alliance to attack another player, or another alliance, without having to seek further authority.

Tile Hitting:  Attacking a player's troops when they are gathering resources.  Away from base, these troops will die rather than be hospitalized.  This is generally frowned upon outside of Kill Events.
