Does the hammer spawn in a specific pattern, according to a certain condition, or is it random? For example, does it spawn in order (DC land, then EP land, then AD land), or does it spawn according to population (spawns in the lowest/highest populated faction), or some other determining factor?

How often does it spawn? Every hour, 2 hours, etc.?

How long does it last? Some say you can extend its active time by killing players - is this true?

I don't think anyone knows for sure. Here are my observations.

I think it's 33% to spawn for any alliance.

I think the highest likely spots (by a mile) are behind each alliance's main gate.

The next likely spots are just outside their main gates, by the nearest home keep. For example, there's a spawn point just north of KC.

The rest of the spawn points throughout Cyro seem to be dormant. It's been a long time since I've seen one pop up at any of those locations.

I've noticed that too.

Also, it's strange that there's no info about this, not even in the game's built-in help.

Its supposed to be weighted towards the most disadvantaged alliance, though what 'disadvantaged' means is kinda nebulous. Honestly I haven't seen any sort of pattern that would indicate the hammer actually having any sort of preference.

Ive seen it spawn behind the gate of the 1st place alliance when they own 2/3rds of the map as much as ive seen it spawn for the last place alliance when they are pushed almost to their gates.
