Editing Citadel (section)

== Scoring and map victory ==
Four Citadels run per map, one each week. Each capture awards a '''Citadel ring''' to the winning faction's members, which functions as the format's main prestige item — a visible record of having won one.

The faction with the most captures is considered the map winner. Ties are settled by community consensus rather than any formal rule, which historically produced some of the most argued-over results in the format.
