Siege War?

  • đŸ”Ĩ SiegeWar adds a war system to Towny.

  • ⚔ī¸ In SiegeWar, wars are decided by Sieges:

    • Each siege is a "King Of The Hill" battle, which takes place on the border of a town.

  • đŸ¤ŧ Each siege has 2 opposing teams:

    • Attackers: An attacking nation + its allies.

    • Defenders: A defending town + its nation + its allies.

  • 🌍 Geopolitical Results:

    • If the attackers win, they can Plunder the town.

    • If the attackers win, they can Capture the town and add it to their nation.

 

 

Assign Military Ranks

  • 👉 Before players can participate in sieges, kings/mayors must assign military ranks.

  • 💂 Nation Military Ranks:

    • Private, Sergeant, Lieutenant, Captain, Major, Colonel: Can gain Battle Points.

    • General: As above, plus can assign nation military ranks, start/abandon sieges, and plunder/capture.

  • 💂 Town Military Ranks:

    • Guard: Can gain battle points.

 

 

Start Siege

  • â›ŗ As a nation king or general, place a non-white banner in the wilderness near a town:

    • This is the Siege Banner.

    • This action will start a new siege at the town.

    • Each nation can have a maximum of 3 offensive sieges at any one time.

    • The nation deposits $450/plot into a War Chest:

    • This money will be automatically recovered later, by the eventual winner of the siege.

 

 

Siege Cost

Additionally, attackers must pay an upfront cost of $100/plot along with the $350/plot for a total of $450/plot. Whereas the $350 is deposited into the warchest for the winner to recover, the upfront cost is lost.

If the attacker wins the siege, they will earn a very handsome profit regardless of the upfront cost. In addition to the warchest, they can chose to plunder the town for $400 per plot.

Ex: If you wanted to attack a town of 100 chunks-

  1. You would need to pay a war chest of ($350*100 chunks) $35000.

  2. You would need to pay an upfront cost of ($100*100 chunks) $1000.

For a total cost of ($35000+$1000) $36000 to begin the siege.

If, as this attacker, you won the siege and returned your $35000 from the warchest, you can plunder the town and earn a total of ($400*100=$40000-$1000) $39000.
If as this attacker, you lost the siege, you now lost your $35000 warchest to the defender, ontop of the $1000 upfront cost, for a total loss of $36000.

 

 

Sessions, Days, and Times

  • To limit very active players from exploiting graveyard server times,

    • Sieges can only be started on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays.

  • On each of these days, the first session will begin at 07:00EDT/EST. Each session lasts one hour, another session will not begin until eight hours after the last session ended. This means there is a session every eight hours. 

  • You can type /sw nextsession to see when the next session will begin. 

  • To win a siege, you must win the majority of the seven sessions. Winning 4 of the 7 sessions will secure you the overall win, but with each session you win after this you will earn more. A decisive victory will grant you the best awards and winner options.

  • â˜ĸī¸ During each Battle Session, PVP protections are disabled in a 200 block radius around the Siege Banner (the Siege Zone). 

 

 

Fighting a Siege

  • ⏊ Spawn to the Siege:

    • When a battle session starts, 2 Battle Commanders are automatically designated for each Siege, 1 for the attackers, 1 for the defenders.

    • To be designated a Battle Commander, a player must be a King or General, an official siege participant, in the Siege-Zone, and online.

    • During the battle Session, if your team's battle commander is alive and in the Siege-Zone, run /sw spawn <town>, to teleport to them.

  • đŸ’¯ Capture Banner:

    • As a Official Siege Participant (a military-ranked player on one of the teams), move close to the Siege Banner.

    • A Banner Capture Session will start.

    • If you remain close to the Siege Banner for 3 minutes, you will Capture the Banner for your team, and will be added to the Banner Control List.

    • Your team will automatically get 30 Battle Points each minute for each player on the Banner Control List.

    • If a team steals battle control from the enemy team, this is a Banner Control Reversal. The reversing team get an x3 boost to their timed-point-generation rate.

  • đŸ’¯ Kill Enemy Players:

    • As a soldier in the Siege-Zone, kill an enemy Official Siege Participant of military rank, for a reward of 300 Battle Points.

  • đŸĻ Win Battle:

    • When the Battle Session ends:

      • The team with the best Battle Points score is declared the battle-winner.

      • Both teams get their battle points applied to the Siege Balance.

    • The Siege Balance is capped on either end, at -20,000 and +20,000.

  • đŸŗī¸ Abandon attack:

    • As a siege attacker, place an all-white banner in the wilderness near the town to abandon the attack.

  • đŸŗī¸ Surrender defence:

    • As a siege defender, place an all-white banner in the wilderness near the town to surrender the defence.
