Rule Changes for October 2018

Hey, peeps. Once again, we had our monthly poll to prep for our upcoming Age to get feedback on what you guys think about the rules – thank you for sharing your support and feedback.

Below are some changes we’ll be adding along with cargo boats (which FacePunch is adding).

We’ll be doing a separate post to break down the poll results.

 

Griefing

  • Added blocking a player from being able to build under the griefing section in our general rules.

 

Allied Clans

  • Clans can now only have two allied clans.

 

Cargo Ship

  • For cargo ship, players can PVP/KOS while on the cargo ship.
  • They can also PVP/KOS players attempting to board the ship by climbing on the ladder. Do NOT attack from cargo ship to other boats nearby or to players farming the sea rafts.
  • Players approaching on boats can NOT attack players on cargo ship.
  • Attacks may begin when players board the ship by climbing onto the ladder.
  • For those driving or manning boats that have other individuals that board the cargo ship, you must also board the cargo ship or leave the area immediately once your boat crew board the ladder.

And finally, we added Skirmishes as a new type of war. Hopefully this is a way for people to get some PVP in while also being able to be creative. Challenge your enemy to a bow war, or make the loser have one of their members be your slave for a week. We think these will be an exiting new addition to the rules, thanks to everyone who helped come up with the idea. Keep the suggestions coming…

Skirmishes:

Instead of raiding each others’ HQ and CS structures/claims, clans can challenge other clans to a Skirmish and post their Skirmish dec to Discord in #skirmish-dec-and-discussion (ex: “Clan @Narnia challenges Clan @Snape to a Skirmish!”)

For Skirmishes, players agree to what weapons, armor, and resources they bring to the fight. They can select to fight in an arena, or decide to use The Battlefield zone and each team builds a structure. In The Battlefield, teams would agree to max amount of resources they can use to build their base.

  • Since Skirmishes need to be agreed on, war council does not get to approve these.

After the dec/challenge has been posted for theĀ Skirmish, the involved clans must post the following agreed upon information to Discord in #skirmish-dec-and-discussion.

  • Weapons: Choose which weapons are allowed.
  • Armor: Choose what grade of weapons.
  • Meds: Choose how many meds are acceptable.
  • Max Resources: If you are having a battle in The Battlefield, select how many resources each team gets to use for building their base.
  • Wager: Before battle, teams agree to what each has to pay after losing. They can choose a set amount of resources, a land claim, even get one of their members as a slave for a set amount of time. Be creative, anything you can think of within the rules.
  • Post the date and time: Identify what day and the time – make sure to include the timezone!
  • Location: Choose if you are fighting in an arena or if you are fighting in The Battlefield.
