Leagues
·League Halls Overview

oLeague Halls are at the heart of this game update. They serve as a meeting place, trophy room, shared canvas, and source of power all rolled into one. Many of the new League features require a League Hall to access. In fact, there is no way to spend Prestige without a League Hall short of the act of creating the League Hall.

oLeague Halls are also a major location for content in DLC11, with instances taking place in your own League Hall! If no one in the group has a League Hall, you'll simply be taken to a randomly selected League Hall owned by another League.
§Creation
§League Halls may be created at consoles located in each wing of the Watchtower and Hall of Doom. Doing so requires both the "Can Spend Prestige" and "League Hall Admin" permissions.
§The first option the UI presents is Environment. While many Environments are planned for the future, the first available Environment to be released with GU39 is Lunar. Hence, all League Halls will initially be built on the Moon.
§The second option is Terrain. This represents a choice of landscape to build your League Hall in and affects your view from the Observation Room. The current options are: Sea (i.e. Mare, for you Moon buffs out there) and Crater.
§The final option is the specific location to select, given the previous selections. Each location has a Prestige cost for both the initial League Hall creation, as well as relocating the League Hall to that location.
§Sea Locations:
§Sea of Clouds
§Sea of Crises
§Sea of Islands
§Sea of Serenity
§Sea of Showers
§Sea of Tranquility
§Crater Locations:
§Copernicus Crater
§Grimaldi Crater
§Kepler Crater
§Plato Crater
§Stevinus Crater

§Access
§League Halls may be reached in one of two ways:

§Teleporter Amenities within personal bases, assuming you have one of the Generator Mods that add League Halls as a destination
