Sunday war

One fixed hour a week when the whole server is in the same place. Sunday, 16:00 to 18:00, always.

1. 01

   Siege one week, Territory War the next

   Odd weeks are castle sieges, even weeks are TW. Alternating avoids what happens on every server: the same clan defending the same castle every Sunday until nobody registers any more.

2. 02

   The castles come in gradually

   In week 1 there is no castle in play at all. Aden and Giran come in on week 2, Goddard and Rune on week 4, Innadril and Dion on week 6, and all nine are only in play from week 8.

3. 03

   Eight fortresses in play, one to a region

   Every castle region has one, and it is the one the clans of that region fight over:

   • Shanty, in Gludio. Hive, in Dion. Valley, in Giran.
   • Ivory, in Oren. Bayou, in Aden. White Sands, in Innadril.
   • Borderland, in Goddard. Swamp, in Rune.
   • Schuttgart is left out: it is the most outlying region and the last castle to open, in week 8.

   The other thirteen are still on the map

   They have not gone anywhere. They are there with their NPCs and their doors, and anybody who walks past one finds an ordinary place. What they do not do is take a siege registration, so they never have an owner. The reason to concentrate is the reason castles open in stages: a siege spread thin is one clan alone hitting a door, and that is not a siege.

   Registration closes Saturday at 23:59

   Whoever wants to fight on Sunday registers by Saturday night. That exists so you know who you are playing against before you build the team.
