Capitol positions give powerful temporary buffs — time them with VS Duel days for maximum impact!
1. How It Works
The Capitol building in your base lets players take turns holding officer positions. Each position grants powerful speed buffs while you hold office. Positions rotate automatically through a queue system — or stay with you if no one else is waiting!
Capitol building — all officer positions
Requires HQ Level 16+ to apply
Maximum 50 players per queue
You can only be in one queue at a time
30-minute cooldown between applications
Term duration depends on the queue — if others are waiting, ~5–10 minutes; if the queue is empty, you keep the position until someone joins or you resign
Buffs activate automatically when your turn comes
You can resign after 30 minutes of holding a position — but if no one's in the queue, keep it!
Critical Rule
Speed buffs only take effect when STARTING a new operation!
Builds, research, or training already in progress will NOT be affected. Start your actions DURING your buff window!

3. How to Find Server Positions
1
Tap your profile avatar (top-left corner of the main screen)
2
On your profile, tap the server number (highlighted in red below — e.g. #2013)
3
This opens the Server Info screen where you can see and apply for Capitol positions
Tap the server number (red box) on your profile to access Capitol positions
4. How to Apply
Position application screen — showing buffs and queue
1

2
Select the position you want (tap the officer slot)
3
Tap "Apply" to join the queue
4

In-office view — showing active buffs, time in office, and Resign button (available after 30 min)
Pro Tip: Off-Peak Hours
Apply for positions during off-peak hours (early morning, late night)
If no one else is in the queue, you’ll hold the position indefinitely — giving you a much longer buff window than the usual 5–10 minutes!
5. Strategic Timing — When to Use Each Position
VS Day
Best Position
Key Buff
Why
Tuesday (Base Expansion)

Sec. of Science
+50% Research Speed
Start all research projects during your buff window
Friday (Total Mobilization)
Sec. of Security
+20% Training Speed

Saturday (Enemy Buster)

+20% Healing Speed

Mon / Thu / Anytime
Sec. of Interior
+100% Production
Let base mines fill up (yellow), wait for Rapid Production refresh, THEN collect all at once while holding position
Key Insight
Apply 1–2 hours BEFORE the VS day starts (before 6pm server reset)
When your turn comes, IMMEDIATELY start your biggest builds, research, or training. The buff only helps operations you START during your term!
6. Buff Stacking
All speed bonuses in Last War stack multiplicatively. Capitol position buffs multiply with your VIP bonus, alliance tech, research bonuses, and other sources.
Example: Construction Speed on Tuesday
VIP 13 (+60%) × Sec. of Development (+50%) × Alliance Tech (+45%) × Fast Builder Research (+40%)
= All bonuses multiply together for massive combined speed!
Vice President Bonus
The VP buff (+20% Construction, +20% Research, +10% Training) is ALWAYS active for the holder
The VP buff applies only to the player holding the VP position (not server-wide). Unlike secretary positions, the VP is appointed and does not rotate through a queue.
