War
|
Possible war bug when one flag owns an island and the other flag participates in an event blockade. |
| There have been some reports that flags have been unable to offer a truce after a normal blockade despite 72 hours having passed and the blockade no longer being listed on the board. It's possible that it has to do with event blockades still on the board counting against the ability to offer a truce. If your flag encounters such an issue, please /bug report it. |

A flag's royalty may declare war on another flag as long as the current alliance web premits it. If the other flag reciprocates the declaration, then a state of open war exists between both of them.
Blockades and War
War declarations tie into the blockade system. To blockade a colonized island, a flag must first declare war on the island's owner. Once the war chest has been paid, the attacker's declaration of war cannot be rescinded until 72 hours after the blockade ends.
If the island owner reciprocates the war declaration, the blockade will be sinking. Thus, the decision to have a sinking blockade must be weighed against the possibility of up to seven days of sinking PvP. However, this period of sinking PvP can be avoided by the defending flag hiring another flag they are at war with to drop a chest on the island. Because two flags at war are involved in the blockade, it will be sinking, but there will be no period of war after. While not considered griefing, this tactic is generally frowned upon.
