Clan
A persistent group of players with a tag shown next to their name, which is the unit every organised mode is played as.
Also known as guild, clan tag.
A clan holds up to a hundred members under a tag of two to five characters, with roles from commander down to recruit. The tag is what appears in brackets beside a player's name in battle.
It is not only a social group. Clan Wars, Strongholds and Advances are all fought by clans rather than by individuals, and the rewards, from bonds and gold to reward vehicles, are distributed through it.
