War Checklist

Summarized Short Checklist for those who want to start a War.

1. Pre-War Requirements
☐ Read the War Rules – Ensure you qualify to start a war.
☐ Check War Immunity – Verify that the target is not war-immune (/t [town name]).
☐ Have a Valid Reason – Your war must have a realistic and roleplay-friendly justification.
☐ Prepare Allies – Inform your allies in advance so they are ready.

2. Declaring War
☐ Make a Political Announcement – Post a detailed war declaration in ⁠👑┃nation-announcements including:

• Reason for war
• Participants (your side and the opponent)
• Goals (territory, revenge, political disputes, etc.)

☐ Ensure Quality – Your declaration must be realistic and not low effort.
☐ Await Approval – The Server Owner will review and approve/reject your war.

3. War Approval & Setup
☐ Wait for the Opponent's Response – They can accept or contest the war in a support ticket.
☐ Join the War Discord Channel – A separate channel will be made for war discussions.
☐ Ping Your Allies – Ensure all allies are added to the war channel.
☐ Propose a Date for the First Battle – The declaring side must suggest a date.
☐ Confirm the Battle Date with Opponents – The battle must be scheduled as soon as possible. 

4. Battle Preparation
☐ Gather Supplies – Ensure your army has weapons, armor, and necessary gear (boats, bridges, heating).
☐ Check Attack Routes – Make sure the settlement you want to attack is accessible (no unrealistic paths).
☐ Understand Battle Mechanics – Read up on the EventWar plugin rules:

• 5 lives per leader
• Homeblock has 60 HP
• Damage and healing mechanics

☐ Follow Server War Conduct – No excessive griefing, and chests cannot be accessed by attackers.

5. War Execution
☐ Attack the Enemy Settlement – The declaring side attacks first, unless they forfeit the first move.
☐ Follow the EventWar Plugin Rules – Play fair and avoid exploits.
☐ Respect Battle Time Limits – Default 30 minutes unless changed by staff.
☐ Ceasefire or Surrender (Optional) – Either side can negotiate at any time.

6. Post-War Responsibilities
☐ Declare Victory  – Post the war outcome in ⁠👑┃nation-announcements.
☐ Enforce War Terms – Ensure war demands are reasonable and enforceable.
☐ Practice Good Sportsmanship – Respect the losing side and avoid toxicity.

❌ Delaying war approval or avoiding battle scheduling is punishable.
❌ Breaking war rules (combat logging, exploiting, excessive griefing) results in penalties.
❌ Ignoring roleplay realism may result in the war being voided.
❌ Excessive War demands may result in flashbacks from the community.

✅ If you have any questions, open a support ticket or ask the Server Owner.
