Koltyr

Koltyr is a warzone continent on Auraxis. A uniquely small continent, Koltyr is a small island with much the same terrain as Amerish—fair grasslands and plantlife ringed by hills and mountains.

"The small island of Koltyr retains little tactical value in the Auraxian War, and factions will often send new recruits here to hone their combat skills."

Koltyr is a standard warzone continent in name only. It is considerably smaller than any other warzone continent, featuring only three Large Outposts and one of each of the original three major facilities—one Amp Station, Bio Lab, and Tech Plant—and the selection of vehicles is greatly reduced. The usage of War Assets is fully restricted on Koltyr, and assets of any rarity or category cannot be used.

The island is only available at times of notably low population, able to open as part of the regular continent rotation to provide a playing space suitable for smaller numbers of players. The continent features a simple alert system, triggering a 45-minute meltdown alert either upon any given faction controlling 66% of the continent (four of the six facilities), or upon the continent's population reaching a total of 90 players.

Mechanics
Koltyr functions significantly differently from standard warzone continents, with the following notable differences in place at all times. Koltyr will only become available for play when the server population falls below 200 players, wherein it will be added to the typical continent lock rotation—made accessible upon the lock of a previous continent.
 * Harassers and ANTs cannot be spawned. No terminals are available to spawn
 * Galaxies cannot be spawned. No terminals are available to spawn Liberators.
 * No terminals are available to spawn Colossi.
 * No terminals are available to spawn Bastion Fleet Carriers.
 * No Cortium is present on Koltyr.
 * War Assets cannot be used.
 * Outfit Resources are not earned from capturing and holding facilities on Koltyr.

It will remain accessible so long as the server population remains underneath this 200-player limit, although can be locked as with any other continent even during low population hours, and if the server's population reaches 150 players a large warzone continent can automatically unlock alongside Koltyr. If the continent reaches a population total of 90 players, an alert will be triggered.

Trivia

 * Koltyr has changed purposes three during its lifespan;
 * Until to the February 8, 2018 Update, Koltyr was used as a training continent for lower battle rank players. Players of BR15 or below were automatically sent to Koltyr, and could no longer return once they passed that battle rank.
 * From between the February 8, 2018 Update, and the April 15, 2020 Update, Koltyr was a VR continent. It had similar vehicle restrictions as today and players could not earn any experience point. In exchange, all available vehicles could be freely spawned and all weaponry/equipment could be used without restriction or purchase.
 * In the period between the April 15, 2020 Update, and the September 22, 2021 Hotfix, Koltyr opened as an extra continent during times of extraordinarily high or low populations, to provide a play-space for the overflow of players unable to otherwise reach an appropriate warzone.
