# CONTRIBUTE TOKENS

An overview of contributing tokens to thrones.

* Players connect their elite(s) to throne(s).
* Players allocate their tokens to thrones their elites are connected to.\
  \- This action is considered "contributing tokens".\
  \- These tokens are called "contributed tokens".
* The amount of influence generated or eliminated from a throne is proportional to the number of tokens an elite contributes to it. More tokens result in generating or eliminating more points.
* Players can change their token contributions at any time, so long as a cool-down is not in effect.\
  \- Players can add or subtract the amount of tokens their elite contributes to a throne.\
  \- Leaving a throne returns all contributed tokens to the player's account.

{% hint style="info" %}
**REMINDER:** A cool-down period begins after a player generates or eliminates influence with a throne. Cool-down periods lock the elite and his contributed tokens to the throne.
