With the introduction of many new aspects to the Club Penguin Army League, the administration has worked tirelessly on opening a brand new army initiative. As we begin to take steps to ensure plausible means of operating within the CP Army League, we focused heavily on the release of the CPA World Map.

CPA World Map

In conjunction with the Small Medium Army League and the collaboration of various professional individuals such as Antman and Bull Hour, the CPAL World Map officially opens at 12 am EST on Monday, November 3, 2025. Scheduling begins as of the release of this post.

This new World Map, in the first season at least, will be adopted by the CP Army League and the Small Medium Army League. Processes and efforts will be made soon on a resolution to combine both leagues’ maps, a step toward a unified, credible, and sustainable World Map for the community under modern and contemporary rules and regulations approved by the Army Council, consisting of tens of army leaders and representatives.

Unlike previous renditions of an army map, armies have been given the choice in a vote so that armies get to name the land they have invaded, including the capital.

The community has long awaited and anticipated a new wave of fresh air regarding the main and important pillars and components of the daily life of armies, one being the map. As we are stepping into the year 2026, a dynamic set of motions and changes will be necessary to further develop and sustain the future, lasting stability, and an actively realistic, beneficial, and changing environment for all armies.

For almost two years, armies remained in a constant loop within the same redundant map, leading to a drought in warfare as time went on. The newly adopted and designed map is intended to fundamentally modify the available territory borders in each season, providing a new perspective on the armies’ nations and their political environment.

Army Capital Draft

A capital draft meeting between army leaders and representatives occurred on Wednesday, September 29. All registered armies were given the choice to choose a spot on the map to call their capital, following a fashionable traditional order by measuring the last four Top Ten weeks.

Aliens
People’s Imperial Confederation
Romans
Shadow Legionaries
Void Troops
Fire Vikings
Special Weapons and Tactics
Phantom Republic
Penguins of Agartha
Witches of CP

By this order, armies officially declared the following land as their sole capital.

Army Council Votes

The following sets of rules have been decided and voted upon by the Army Council, which will be implemented and respected until a clear need for a revote on any such rule is necessary and is stressed by army leaders.

Armies may only invade land adjacent to their land. Regarding islands, the closest land piece(s) to the island have the ability to invade it, as shown by the lines in the map above.
An army’s land automatically becomes locked once declared war upon, restraining them from dropping land.
A major army must have at least 10 troops online in room 1 for a valid UK/US invasion. 5 troops for an AUSIA invasion.
A small or medium army must have at least 5 troops online in room 1 for a valid UK/US/AUSIA invasion.
Timezone rules will officially be: 3:00 am – 10:30 am AUSIA, 10:31 am – 4:59 pm UK, 5:00 pm – 2:59 am US (all in EST).
Armies will have a 4-day grace period once entering the map, not allowing armies to invade them and likewise not invading any army during that period.
An army can invade 6 total land by non-hostile means [freeland]. You may not be transferred land if you own more than 6.
Armies are allowed to rename any land they own through invasions or transfer, as long as it is appropriate and does not copy or resemble an existing land on the map.
Force treaties will be abolished, replaced by war cooldowns in which the armies that partook in said war may not raid, invade, or support in invading one another.
The war cooldown time is officially set at 3 weeks. After the period is concluded, the armies affiliated in the war may wage war on the other as they please.
For an army to be considered inactive and lose their nation on the map, they must not host events for a total of 3 weeks.
An army can be invaded at most 2 times per day.

With these rules set in place, here are the official rules of the CPAL World Map.

Rules & Information

Invasion Rules

All armies must use CPA Battleground to conduct any form of battle or invasion.
Armies are subject to only 6 lands gained through non-hostile means, such as freeland invasion and land transfers.
Armies may only schedule 1 freeland invasion per day.
Once an army reaches the freeland cap, they may only gain more land through direct invasions or war.

For an invasion to be considered successful, the invading major army must have at least 10 troops at any point in the first room for a UK/US invasion or defense, 5 troops for AUSIA, otherwise the battle would conclude or the freeland invasion would be invalid..
A small or medium army must have at least 5 troops at any point in the first room for a UK/US/AUSIA invasion or defense otherwise the battle would conclude or the freeland invasion would be invalid..

Server Ownership

Armies will be given the choice to name any of their servers, as long as it is appropriate and does not copy or resemble an already existing land on the map. Land renames will be monitored by the administration to avoid any names that are deemed inappropriate.

An army may rename their land after the ownership of the land in question (judges announcing the invasion is successful).
Armies may not change the name of a server if an army has an active scheduled invasion on it.

Timezone Rules

Armies may not schedule invasions against the same army during the same timezone, otherwise it would be deemed invalid.
If an army schedules on two corresponding time zones, they must be at least 2 hours apart.
The CP Army League time zone table are as follows
- AUSIA: 3:00 am – 10:30 am
- UK: 10:31 am – 4:59 pm
- US: 5:00 pm – 2:59 am

Armies are not allowed to reschedule invasions more than
Armies can only schedule 3 invasions at a time, only 2 being against an army.
Capital invasions may only be scheduled once an army loses all its land pieces. They cannot be pre-invaded regardless of whether an army is sure the defending army is losing or not showing up. The capital invasion will go forward regardless of whether the defending army obtains more land.
All Club Penguin Army Judges rules apply.

Terms and Agreements

For a war to be considered valid, the declaring army must state a clear basis of terms alongside scheduled invasions.

The following terms are what can be set by the declaring army:

1v1 term (Usage of allies, visitors, and dual-enlists automatically is not allowed if stated)
Ally, visitor, or dual-enlists usage.
Failure to show up in X consecutive battles constitutes in forfeit (3 at a minimum) [Optional]

The following terms are automatically set by declaring on an army:

Multilogging, hacking, ddosing, doxxing, botting, or any other means of cheating will not be allowed.
All war battles must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance with the CPAL league and CPAJ.

Any other rules will not be enforced by CP Army League.

Force treaties are abolished in CP Army League.

The participating armies in the war may not raid, invade, or assist in invading one another during the cooldown period of 3 weeks, automatically initiated once the war concludes with the capital invasion or a treaty signed.

Cooldowns are only upheld by CPAL if it is a map war. Failure to uphold the cooldown will result in the transfer of your nation towards the opponent army.

Armies are allowed to sign any form of non-aggression pact as long as it is mutually agreed in a screenshot or message with the involved army(s) signing the terms sent in the “#╰┈➤treaties” channel. CPAL will uphold any treaty signed as long as they are within the CPAL rules.

Standard Battle Rules

All battles are subject to the following rules to ensure the fairness and safety of all parties involved. Armies found in breach of these terms will be subject to penalties imposed by the administration, depending on the severity.

No multi-logging.
No doxxing or ddosing.
No blackmailing.
No malicious attempts at mass reports.
No server defacement or raids.
No toxic tactics.

Discord Invading

Armies must follow this format for invading in the “#╰┈➤invasion-scheduling” channel:

Army Names: Your Army vs Opponent Army (Only mention your army for freeland invasions)

Server: Name of the invaded server

Date and Time: Exact time of the battle (preferably use a timestamp)

Make sure to ping all army leaders of the opponent army for battles

A 24-hour notice must be given for any type of invasion, and no longer than a maximum of 7 days in advance.
Judges must also be given a 24-hour notice before an invasion, otherwise it would be deemed invalid.
Server transfers must be stated in “#╰┈➤server-transfers” channel, with the receiving army accepting for a valid transfer.

Additional Regulations

Armies will have a 4-day grace period once they enter or rejoin the map. Likewise, they will not have the ability to declare war on anyone until the grace period ends.
Raids are allowed in any type of battle, except tournament battles.

The map will now serve as a platform for all armies to conduct warfare at a fun and competitive level, and to ensure fairness and integrity for all, towards a coherent and modernized space for total stability and absolute chaos.

We would like to extend our sincere gratitude to all the members of the community who continuously support and help guide this league into a safe and secure space for all armies. We will continue to put our utmost efforts into developing and ensuring excellent routes and experiences for the community to stand by.
