<div style="margin-top:0.4em; font-size:105%;">Claim land, build a base, gear up, and fight for control of the map — knowing that every death locks you out and the whole world resets when the season ends. Two rules define the format: the '''[[Deathban|deathban]]''' and the '''[[Map archive|timed map]]'''.</div>

<div style="font-size:150%; font-weight:bold; color:#4d3366;">[[Citadel]]</div>
The most important event in HCF. A fortified [[KOTH]] where '''pearling is disabled''' — four per map, one per week, and whoever wins the most is considered to have won the season.

<div style="font-size:150%; font-weight:bold; color:#2f5a3f;">[[History of Hardcore Factions|History]]</div>
From the format's origins around 2012, through the '''golden era of 2013–2018''', the rejection of the 1.9 combat update, and the contraction that followed.
