Contested Territory

Contested Territory is a new feature in Bloons Monkey City which pits six cities to control a piece of land. It was added on June 3, 2014. As of the 6th of June Contested Territory has been under repair because it was causing some major issues, and server errors (this prevented players from playing the old version). However, Contested Territory had been added again after two weeks.

To get to the Contested Territory track, click the button in the bottom left hand corner that says "Contested Territory." It will be in the middle, and the cities you are competing with and the name of the players can also be seen. To take control, click it and you be taken to a track. Pass a high enough round and you own it until another city beats a higher round than you did. This is currently the only way to get past round 30, with rounds 31+ being considered freeplay.

Benefits of owning Contested Territory
The player receives city cash for owning contested territory. The mechanism is similar to Banana Farm. Rate of the income is based on the tier of the contested teritory (basically, the higher lever the player is, the faster they receive the cash). After 24 hours without re-capturing by a player (both the owner or any opponent), the territory will be reclaimed by Bloons and it is open for anyone to capture again. Any cash that is not collected before control is taken by the bloons or another player is lost.

After the end of the week (midnight in UTC between Sunday and Monday), the player who has owned the territory for the longest time receives 40, if he has owned the territory for at least 24 hours.

Tier
As the player levels up, they get to the higher tier of the contested territory. On a higher tier, the player must beat a higher level to capture the territory when it is neutral, but they also get a higher reward for controlling it.

Freeplay Mode
Like in BTD5, you can go as high as you want to. Doing Contested Territory is the only way to reach Rounds 31+. Bloons and MOAB Class Bloons become stronger as the number of rounds increases.
