Do not assume a high personal score is enough. For Season 18, Evony divided each continent's top 1,200 Constantinople Ultimate War players into three tiers, and stated that personal scores counted toward Season Ranking only when the Alliance placed in the continent's top 500 for that round and the player had been in that Alliance for at least five days. Those are historical Season 18 rules, not a promise for every future season. See the official Season 18 announcement.
Direct answer: what should you verify?
Verify four gates: the correct continent, your personal Season Ranking, your Alliance's qualifying placement for the round, and your Alliance membership age. A failure at one gate can make a strong battle performance irrelevant to the published qualification path.
The four-gate check
Gate 1: continent
Confirm which continent ranking your server belongs to. Season 18 used seven continents, so a raw rank without its continent context was incomplete.
Gate 2: personal tier
Season 18 placed ranks 1–400 in All-Star Battlefield, 401–800 in All-Star Elite Battlefield and 801–1,200 in All-Star Junior Battlefield. Use the live season screen for the current cutoffs.
Gate 3: Alliance placement
The official Season 18 rule required the Alliance to rank in the top 500 on the continent for that round before the player's personal score counted in Season Ranking.
Gate 4: membership age
The same rule required at least five days in the Alliance. A late transfer could therefore affect score eligibility even if the player joined before the battle itself.
Actionable verification routine
- Open Battle of Constantinople Ranking.
- Navigate to Personal Ranking, then Season Ranking as described in the official announcement.
- Record your continent and current rank.
- Confirm the Alliance's round placement.
- Confirm the date you joined the Alliance.
- Save the current rules screen before the round.
- After the round, check whether the score entered Season Ranking.
Practical example
Player A scores well but joined the Alliance three days earlier. Player B scores less but has long membership and belongs to a qualifying Alliance. Under the cited Season 18 rule, Player A's battle score would not satisfy the five-day condition. This example illustrates eligibility, not a prediction of a future season.
Common mistakes
- Reading a global-looking number without checking the continent.
- Confusing round score with Season Ranking.
- Moving Alliances shortly before the qualification round.
- Assuming an Alliance's reputation equals a top-500 placement.
- Reusing Season 18 cutoffs without reading current rules.
