HOW MIGRATION WORKS
The Migration Center is a noticeboard, not a matchmaker. Players and recruiters find each other here and take it from there.
1. Find your migration bracket
Migration in Dark War: Survival is limited to states inside your bracket. Add your current state to your player profile and the Migration Center highlights the bracket you can actually move into.
2. Browse alliances that are recruiting
Every listing is written by a real recruiter. Compare total power, open spots, language, play style and minimum power requirements before you talk to anyone.
3. Talk to the recruiter yourself
There is no automatic matching here. Open a listing, read the pitch, then contact the alliance through the Discord invite or in-game contact they published.
4. Prepare before you move
Spend migration-locked resources, finish anything tied to your current state, and confirm with the alliance that a spot is still open on the day you migrate.
THE MIGRATION JOURNEY
Step 1 — Preview
The game announces which states are in your migration pool and whether each one is a Regular or a Flourishing State. Use this time to shortlist destinations here in the Migration Center.
Step 2 — Score lock
Your Migration Identity is locked from the historical peak CP of your Top 3 Troops. Gear or Chip changes after the lock do not change your score, so plan ahead.
Step 3 — Invitation
Commander, Elite and Advanced players need a Presidential Invite from the destination state. Backbone players can migrate without one, subject to available slots.
Step 4 — Application & move
Apply to a listing here, agree the details with the recruiter, then complete the migration in game once your slot is confirmed.
MIGRATION TIERS
Migration tiers
Your identity comes from the historical peak CP of your Top 3 Troops. Scores lock before migration opens.
| Identity | Threshold | Regular | Flourishing | Invite |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Commander | States × 0.6 | 1 | 0 | Presidential Invite |
| Elite | States × 1.5 | 1 | 1 | Presidential Invite |
| Advanced | States × 12 | 7 | 4 | Presidential Invite |
| Backbone | Everyone else | 40 | 30 | Free migration |
Slot conversion: Higher-tier slots can be converted downward at a 1:1 ratio. Conversion is irreversible and slots cannot be converted upward.

BASIC MIGRATION CONDITIONS
Check every box before migration day — one missed condition blocks the move.
- Shelter is at the required level for migration.
- You are not in an alliance-locked state (leave or transfer leadership first if needed).
- You are not in combat, being attacked, or holding a captured target.
- No active march, rally, or gathering is running.
- No pending alliance help, teleports, or protection timers that block relocation.
- Migration items or resources required for the move are in your bag.
