Pour ceux qui n'ont pas accès ou le temps d'aller sur le site de l'alliance, voici un post qui résume l'ABC du WvWvW :

WvW is a 2 week long battle between 3 servers to control the most points on the map. The three outer (home) worlds are the same geographically, while Eternal Battlegrounds in the middle has the same amount of points in each third of the map, but the geography is different.
Points (tallied every 5 minutes):
Supply Camps: 5
Towers: 10
Keeps: 25
Stone Mist: 50
Supply Camps:
Supply camps truly are the life blood of WvW. Without supply towers, keeps and Stonemist will fall given enough time, regardless of the number of defenders. Supply camps are also the easiest points on the map to take, a group of 5 can take a supply camp relatively quickly if the NPC guards are all that are present. Once controlled, there are regular intervals in which 2 dolyaks are sent towards towers, keeps and stonemist. On top of this players can carry up to 10 supply on them from the depot. There are multiple upgrades for supply camps, and the two that should be bought in the secure supply camps are:
Hire Guards- hires npc guards to escort dolyaks. This is necessary because without them players are forced to guard dolyaks from npc monsters that constantly attack the caravans.
Increase Supply: This upgrade increases the amount of supply delivered from Dolyaks. This is a must since supply is crucial to defending towers, keeps and SM.
Towers:
Towers are worth 10 points. While they are not as important as keeps (yes Fire I said it!) they provide LoS over areas, and a defensible position from roaming groups. Towers have one ring of walls and 1 gate. They hold 100 supply and they can have both personnel and structure upgrades. Towers are immediately adjacent to Supply Camps on the map and are useful for control over these areas. I will detail the list of upgrades after describing Keeps and Stonemist.
Keeps:
Keeps are worth 25 points. They are very easy to defend and consist of 2 rings of walls and 2 gates. Keeps can hold around 500 supply w/o upgrades. Keeps typically provide the most control over the surrounding area and can be a bear to assault. On Eternal Battlegrounds, there is a keep directly in front of each worlds entrance to the map. This is the Back of the keep, and it has only one wall between there and the Keep Lord. While there is only one wall, there are two gates back to back at this rear entrance, see the pics for a visualization. Every keep in the Home Worlds and EB has some type of secret entrance that is typically a less defended way into the 2nd level.
Double-Gate view from top-
Stonemist:
The Epitome of Power, Prestige, and Defense, Stonemist castle will be our (TBH's) focus at the beginning of every new match up in WvW. It is easily the most defensible position on any of the maps, it has 2 rings of walls, 2 sets of gates, and 3 levels. The Keep within the castle provides a third level for defensive equipment, and the Castle lord is extremely hard to kill if well-defended by players. Stonemist holds 1,200 supply without upgrades, and it provides control over the immediate surroundings. Hours can be spent besieging Stonemist with no progress made. We want to take Stonemist and upgrade it from the outset of every two week period. This will be our Bi-weekly consistent raid, where we will request everyone to come out for the first 3 hours of these match-ups. We will immediately split up and take the first two supply camps, everyone will grab supply and then we will all rush to Stonemist. When it is neutral there are no gates, we will only be contested by other worlds to defeat the Keep Lord. We will need as many Brothers as possible in this endeavor so that we are guaranteed the option to claim Stonemist as our own.
Please note, at the moment when server match-ups reset supply stays with the characters. Stock up before the reset so your entire raid can lay down siege weapons at contested match-ups (i.e. Stonemist) early on.
Tower/Keep/Castle Upgrades:
Personnel:
Additions
Hire Outfitter — Hires an outfitter that sells adventuring supplies.
Hire Siegemaster — Hires a Siegemaster that sells siege weapon blueprints.
Hire Patrol — Hires guard patrols for the keep.
Upgrades
Hire a Second Worker — Another worker will help complete structural upgrades faster.
Hire More Guards — More guards will help protect the keep.
Raise Guard Level — Increase the level of the guards at the keep
Structural:
Additions
Build Waypoint — Adds a waypoint to the keep that anyone from your team can use.
Build Mortars — Build mortars to defend the keep against enemy siege weapons.
Build Cannons — Build additional cannons to protect the keep.
Upgrades
Reinforce Keep — Reinforces the walls of the keep and repairs the doors.
Reinforce doors — Reinforce the doors of the keep.
Fortify Keep — Fortifies the walls of the keep to make them nearly impossible to breach.
Notes about Tower/Keep/Castle Defense:
- It is possible to repair damaged gates and walls. Go to the supply depot and grab supply, walk to the damage structure and hit F
- It is possible to do damage through gates with melee weapons. For example a warrior can hit enemies meleeing the gate on the outside if he melees from the inside. Note this goes both ways, they can damage you as well.
Siege Weapons:
*Note siege weapons CAN'T be moved once placed, with the exception of the siege golem*
Ram- useful for battering walls or gates
Arrow Cart- AoE damage, useful for hitting enemies
Ballista- AoE and single target damage, basically 1-2 shots players... great for taking out golems and rams
Catapult- AoE damage
Trebuchet- Long Range AoE damage and single target damage
Siege Golem- Maneuverable suit that can break down gates as well as do AoE damage to enemy players/npcs
