### **INTRODUCTION**

It is called war on Ancarcraft The Fourth Age server, the time when two factions come into conflict. It is that moment from the first declaration of war to the peace treaty between all the factions involved.

This regulation lists the various types of war, which have different costs, modalities and results.

The factions involved will be able to decide which battles to deal with if they are given their chances.

The staff, in the event of unacceptable delays or the impossibility of reaching an agreement, has the right to decide independently on the date of the battle.

The staff has the right to take any action to resolve any problems.

### **DIPLOMATIC MANAGEMENT**

To be able to use the methods outlined here, you must write the war declaration.

The war declaration consists of a discussion, written in "TheFourthAge Wars", entitled "war type war".

#### Topic content

The name of the Factions involved, divided by deployment;

* Target of the war, ie the name of the city / fortress / area claimed, specify the province number and the area of ​​membership;
* Coordinates of the target of the war and, if necessary, nearby places of interest;
* Casus Belli (Pattern);
* Names of persons authorized to pay the costs of war.
* Payment authorized users will be contacted by the staff.

Foreign factions on the two sides can join the war to make their own interests and deployment they intend to help. This can happen with military alliances undertaken before the war declaration, or in a simple sign of friendship with a particular deployment.

In order for an extraneous faction to join the two strata to join one of them in the war, the king or the representative of that faction must respond to the discussion of that particular declaration of war, declaring itself participant to it, and indicating in which deployment it wants to fight , as a result will be the enemy of the opposing team.

#### Prize

When a conflict is won, the winner will have the right to choose what to make of the prize. The award and transfer of the prize must be notified to the staff.

The prize may be:

* Be maintained and received by the warring faction
* To be ceded to other factions. In case of refusal the prize is retained by the winning party

#### Surrender

During a war, the two sides may agree to cease the conflict at any time (from the declaration to the end) through a peace agreement previously agreed and approved by the Staff. The treaty may contain any clauses or conditions, as far as possible.

#### Punishments

In the event that one or more players commit violations in the battle during the battle, the staff has the possibility to punish the whole line instead of the single player, if it deems appropriate circumstances.

Punishment to the entire deployment may lead to:

* Battle lost for the deported line;
* Abolishing users or taking advantage of the situation;
* Suspension of the battle and referral to this.

### **THE WARS**

#### Types of Wars

* War of Conquest: War made up of three battles, which, if won, allow to control a city / fortress / area claimed by the enemy faction.
* Civil war: a single-battle war within a faction in order to change the leadership class.
* Reconquest War: A war of two battles with the aim of regaining the lost city / fortress / area lost following a conquest war. It can only be started after 15 days of domination of the lost territory.
* Expansion War: A war consisting of two battles with the aim of conquering a province (uninhabited and out of bounds) contending between two or more factions.

### 1) War of Conquest

#### Requirements

The conquest war can only be taken to a city / fortress claimed by a player.

#### Costs

The attacking faction will have to pay 1000 coins to the staff.

#### Battles

* Battle whose mode is decided by the attackers;
* Battle whose mode is decided by defenders;
* Battle of siege, the favorite deployment is the one who undergoes the siege, so the defenders.

#### Result

* Strikers lose the first battle: 1000 coins to the enemy and end the war.
* Forces win the first, lose the second battle: the war ends with a white peace.
* Strikers win the first and second battle, lose the third battle: they receive 2500 coins from the attacked faction.
* Attackers win all the battles: they receive control over the city / fortress / area claimed for war or part of it if it is too extensive.

#### Rules on the Conquered Territories

Once a certain city / fortress has been conquered through the conquest war, the owner of the city / fortress claims will have to pay a tribute of 100 coins a week to the king of the faction that defeated him. If the owner of the city / fortress claim is inactive, the toll of 100 coins per week will have to be paid by the faction whose claim owner is part of.

Conquering a city / fortress does not mean taking control of claims, as it would be a theft, but it means placing a domain on a particular city / fortress, which will then be obliged to pay a tribute to the conqueror.

In the case of non-payment of the owner if he is an active player, the task of paying the fee will go to the faction he is part of twice, so the faction will have to pay 200 coins rather than 100; If the faction does not pay, then the staff will be punished.

The city / fort will no longer be obliged to pay a tribute to the conqueror only after it is liberated through a Reconquest War.

Depending on the number of cities conquered or founded in a province, the latter will be considered part of the faction that owns several cities within the province.

A faction can only build cities in its natural biome, so the people of durin will not be able to build cities in Gondor as Gondor can not build cities in the Iron Hills.

### 2) Civil War

#### Requirements

It is necessary to make a survey within the affected faction. The poll must be run by the staff, and the staff must be given the votes

A ruling class who was expelled in the previous civil war may request a poll to return to power after 15 days.

The poll has 2 possible votes:

* Yes, so favorable to the change of the current ruling class in the affected faction
* No, so unfavorable to the change of the ruling class.

   Based on the percentages of the results of this survey, several decisions are taken:

* Yes (favored by change of direction), equal to or greater than 80%: the change of management takes place automatically;
* Yes (favorably changing the leadership) equal to or greater than 40%: A civil war begins, and the change of direction will only take place if the rebel faction is victorious;
* Yes (favorably changing leadership) Less than 40%: change of leadership fails.

#### Costs
