players will want to attempt to gain access to and kill the other team's General as

The Docks:
Controlling the Docks
allows players access to catapults and glaive throwers.
.Catapults move very quickly and can be used to launch players over the
gate and into the enemy keep. Glaive throwers are powerful weapons
used to destroy the gates of the enemy keep. They can also be used
to shoot at enemy players.
See the "Vehicles"
section for more info.
The Hangar:
The Hangar is located atop the cliff on the eastern side of the map, between
the horde and alliance bases. Controlling the Hangar allows you to board the
ship. The ship contains turrets which can be used to shoot the gates of the
enemy base. You are also able to jump off of the ship into the enemy base where
you can use huge saronite bombs to destroy the gates from the inside.
The Workshop:
The Workshop is located in the center of the map. Controlling the
Workshop allows your team access to siege engines and demolishers.
After a team capture the Workshop, they have to wait 3 minutes for a
siege engine to be constructed. There can only be one siege engine
at a time, and it takes three minutes to construct a siege engine once
one is destroyed.
Both the siege engine and
the demolishers are used to destroy the gates of the enemy keep but can
also be used to attack enemy players. Players can also pick up
saronite bombs from a pile outside of the Workshop to use on the enemy
keep.
See the "Vehicles" section for more info.
The Refinery:
The Refinery doesn't provide vehicles or other means of getting into the enemy
keep and can be considered a "secondary" node.
Controlling the Refinery grants a 15% increase to siege damage in
addition to resources and extra honor.
To assault or defend the
Refinery, click on the flag located on the top level.
The Quarry:
The Quarry doesn't provide vehicles or other means of getting into the enemy
keep and can be considered a "secondary" node.
Controlling the Quarry grants a 15% increase to siege damage in addition to
resources and extra honor.
To assault or defend the Quarry, click on the flag located at the bow
(front) of the ship.

Seaforium Bombs/ Huge Seaforium Bombs:
Seaforium Bombs are available at the Workshop located in a pile just
outside. Players can pick up one at a time and use them to damage the
enemy's gates. To pick one up you just have to click on it. You can
bind it to your action bar if you like so that it is easier to drop once
you're at the gate. Otherwise you can click on it in your bag. The
achievement "a-bomb-inable" requires that you use 5 seaforium bombs on
the enemy gates in a single battle.
There are also Huge Seaforium Bombs inside each team's base.
These are used to damage the gates from the inside.
Huge Seaforium bombs.
You can get inside the enemy's gate by jumping off the airship from the
Hangar or by launching yourself from a catapult which is picked up at
the Docks.
The achievement "a-bomb-ination" requires that you use 5 Huge Seaforium
Bombs on the enemy gates in a single battle. Players pick up and drop
huge Seaforium Bombs the same way they do regular Seaforium Bombs.
Each type of Seaforium Bomb can be disarmed by players of the opposite
team by clicking on the bomb before it explodes. The achievement "Cut
the Blue Wire... no the Red Wire!" requires that you disarm 50 bombs.

Graveyards:
There
are a total of 7 graveyards in Isle of Conquest. Each of the nodes has a
corresponding graveyard that players can resurrect at when their team controls
the node. There is a graveyard located in the horde base and a graveyard located
in the alliance base. There are also 2 spare graveyards that cannot be captured
by either team. One is located in the southwest area of the map for alliance
players to resurrect at when their team does not control any node and there is
one in the northeastern area of the map where horde players can resurrect when
their team does not control any of the nodes.

Playing Defense:
Playing Defense in Isle of Conquest means that you will be in or near your
team's fortress. There are several ways in which you can help defend your keep
and your general.
Using Turrets:
Each of the two towers facing near the front of your team's keep has six turrets
up top. Three of them face towards the front of the keep (towards the middle of
the map) and the other three will face the side of your team's keep, either west
or east depending on which side the tower is on. You can use to tower cannons
to shoot at vehicles or enemies on the ground that may be dropping bombs.
The achievement "Mowed Down" requires that you destroy 10 vehicles and 100
players with turrets. If a turret gets destroyed you can repair it by
clicking on it.

Disarming Bombs:
If the enemy controls the Workshop, they can use Saronite Bombs to help
destroy the gates to your keep. If there are enemy players inside
of your keep, they can pick up and use Huge Saronite bombs on the gates.
You can disarm bombs placed by enemy players by right clicking on them
before they explode. Although they can be armed instantly, there
is a channeling time for disarming them during which players can be
interrupted. This can be difficult to do depending on how
many teammates you have on defense compared to how many enemies are
attacking the keep. Bombs detonate very quickly and the enemy will
usually attempt to stop players from disarming them.
Protecting
the General after the Keep is Breached:
Once any of your keep's gates have been destroyed, the enemy has access
to your General. It is important that you protect your General for
as long as possible, even if your team hasn't breached the enemy keep
yet. Although you will likely die fairly fast, you can
attempt to slow the enemy killing your General by crowd controlling
them, killing healers or tanks, or aoe'ing among other things. The
more players you have protecting the General, the easier this will be.
