If you’re a solo player, you should read this and consider rethinking your options because Companies are an exciting part of this game and you’ll need interaction with other players to make them work. We’ll here look at all the features there are with Companies in New World. So let’s get going!
How to Start a Company in New World
To create a company in New World, you will need to hit the company tab under the menu tab. You can reach this menu tab by pressing M on your keyboard. After hitting the correct key, you will be able to join a faction via the company menu to the top left of your screen.
However, you should note that you will need to be in a faction before joining or creating a company in the game. Under this tab, the game will ask you if you want to create a company, click yes, customize your emblem, choose a name, and then hit ok. Once you finish, you will have just created a company and can now invite players to it and build up a large guild to complete PVP events and more.
How To Customize Your Company
Immediately after pressing the “Start your Company” button, you will see the customization screen for your own company. You can choose from a variety of emblems, color customizations, and flag backgrounds/designs. It is worth noting that starting your own company and any form of customizations done will not cost you a single dime. You can freely change your company’s crest and even the name as many times you want. As long as you are not taking a company name that is already taken in the server, you can instantly change it through the company menu.
Company Ranking System
Settler: This is the lowest rank given to a player in any company in New World. Their permissions are minimalized into chatting with the company and making deposits to the treasury. This should be the default rank for any player you do not trust yet because they just joined the company.
Officer: The officer’s next rank already gives you the ability to withdraw from the Company Treasury. Officers can also start and cancel territory upgrades which can be important. Officers also have the power to invite members to the company. You can also kick other Settler ranked players.
Consul: Consuls have permission on everything mentioned above and a few others. They can set the message of the day for the company members to read. Consuls and the Governor have their private chat room that Officers and Settlers cannot see and read. They also can declare war and set the siege window. This includes managing the players signing up for the war/fight and arranging them by groups.
Governor: The Governor will be able to manage all the ranks of the players in the company. They can also set a withdrawal limit so that no one can actually steal from the Company Treasury.
How to Claim Settlements in New World
Open the map and find an unclaimed settlement. Choose one and pay the price, which will be a huge amount of money. This will give you the right to own the settlement and everyone will see that your company owns that territory on the world map.
The biggest benefit you can get is getting passive income from taxpayers. If you happen to control the most populated settlement, you are earning thousands of new world coins a day from taxes alone.
Other than the passive income, you will be able to get discounts for fast travel, taxes, house, and all the faction rewards. As long as a company owns the settlement on the same faction as you, you will have all the faction member benefits listed above.
However, maintaining your settlement is another thing you need to worry about. Besides defending sieges, you will also need to pay an upkeep fee every seven days of your settlement. Of course, you will easily make a lot of money from taxes to pay this. Assuming you win some sieges, you should be able to get your return on investment fast. Investing that much money on buying land should definitely have this upside anyway.
Territory Wars
If other companies have taken all the settlements, you will have to fight for the land by declaring war. They have to be from a different faction as you will not be able to siege a settlement from a different company on the same faction.
To declare war, just look for a settlement from a different faction and click it. You will see the details of their workshops, taxes, and most importantly, the territory influence. If the “Declare War!” option is blacked out, you must first be eligible to contest the area.
It all depends on your territory influence within the particular settlement you are looking to wage war on for war eligibility. Each company and faction will try to increase their influence as fast as possible to be declared as the Vanguard. Once a certain faction reaches 100% territory influence, the Vanguard will be selected from the participating companies of that winning faction.
To get selected as the Vanguard, you will need to be responsible for at least 10% of the territory influence for your faction. If nobody gets above 10%, it will be chosen randomly, with the most impactful company having the highest chance of getting selected.
To increase your influence, you need to do purely PvP faction missions in that area you want to wage war. Go to the settlement and get the faction missions. Complete them as fast as you can so you can get new ones.
Defeating other players on the opposing faction will increase your chances of winning the territory influence against the other faction. At the same time, other companies in your faction might be focusing on PvP faction missions and might have greater territory influence than you.
The territory war system is the biggest PvP game mode available in New World. It is action-packed but takes a ton of commitment from everyone, especially from your company leaders. It is an amazing feature that will certainly be the endgame for most PvP players out there.
This whole idea of companies has a ton of appeal and, it should entice everyone to join a company and socialize.
