The War Games

Dale is a very peaceful nation, having engaged in war very few times. While beneficial for merchants and the like, the various militias and the Royal Army have had next to no combat experience; some of the newer recruits have never even fought men outside of sparring.

To combat this, and to have the Dalish soldiers ready for war at any time, the General Staff decided to hold the War Games: A simulation of war which prepares Dalish soldiers for the real thing. The War Games are held every few months, and the entirety of the Dalish army is expected to participate.

-To capture the fort, you have to take over the 2 watchtowers by placing your wool on pedestals, and leaving the wool for 3 mins

TLDR; What you have to do is take over 2/3 outer objectives (by keeping your wool on the flagpole for 3 mins). While you have 2/3 outer objectives, you can attack the fort. To capture the fort, you have to place wool on pedestals which are on the watchtowers and keep the wool there for 3 mins.

HOWEVER, if the OPPOSING team is trying to capture the fort, you can stop them by taking one of their objectives away (so they only have 1/3 objectives). You can also delay them by breaking the wool on the watchtowers.

TLDR; When you have captured the fort, you fight a Deathmatch. If you win, then the game is over. If you lose, the fort becomes neutral again (and you go back to Early Game).

HOWEVER, if the OPPOSING team captures the fort, you have to win the Deathmatch to make the fort neutral again (or else you lose). Another way to make the fort neutral again is to take over ALL the outer objectives.

. In this period nothing can happen EXCEPT doing /back and collecting your stuff. AFTER /back, you can NOT go back to the fort to 'respawn' until the game resumes.

> . If you pick up someone else’s loot, throw it on the floor (unless it's like 5 seconds before clearlag).

> Note: You do NOT have to return arrows to the person you killed. Each player starts with 64 arrows each, and the only way to get more arrows is to kill another player to get theirs (or ask a teammate).

TLDR; When you die, do /back and get your items (except arrows) back (DO NOT PUT YOUR ARMOUR ON YET). Then, you walk to the fort, where you ARE ALLOWED to put your armour back on and fight.
