So hey guys I wanted to say a few things as the original grace period ends today. I want to quickly bullet what I'll be talking about here:

~ Grace Period(What it is and isn't)

~ Multiple Cities & Conquering

~ Warfare in general

~ Future for the server

GRACE

So lets start with the first one and thats grace period. Grace period is my way of saying: no fighting for this amount of time. Now I said you can opt out of it but I think there is some confusion as to what that means. I'll use examples. If I am Nepal and I decided to prepare to destroy Bhutan (for whatever reason) let's say I opted out of grace period, but Bhutan didn't. This means I can't attack them, but they can't attack me either. However, if Bhutan attacks me they are opting out of it too. That's how it works. At this time only two nations are opted out of grace period, Poland-Lithuania & Holy Roman Empire. What this means is that only they can fight each other but as grace ends or nations opt out they can attack those.

I have extended grace period to next Monday, after next Monday no one is safe from warfare. Thus I suggest you build them cities quick or find strong allies ;)

CITIES

Okay so some of you have heard me tell you about multiple cities and conquering. Well right now how I have the way warfare works people conquer cities and not an entire nation in one day but if you only have on ecity in a nation... well... that's hard to avoid. cities don't have to be big urban sprawling things, it can be like countryside too, large agricultural fields on the surface (mountains count as long as somehow one can get inside the mountain). To the point the more cities you have the more cities one has to conquer if they intend to wipe you off the map and topple your government. Its realism rules as i like to call it. The reason for this is I dont want people to whine about how in this one time battle they lost only because lil john doe didnt show up and jane doe just sucks ass. thats why theres multiple cities. more than one chance.

in short: build more cities to have more chances to retain your empire.

WARFARE

speaking of warfare, oh will you look at that lets talk about what that is! warfare isnt going to be all faction on faction, i liked some of the ideas blau wrote out in terms of battle modes for mc nations and have decided to use some but not all of them and of course with some modification possibly. and if you dont like them im open to suggestions too, im not a close minded, i-have-a-vision mc nations. warfare will essentially work in campaigns (hence why you want multiple cities) a war isnt all just one side attacking, its two disgruntled sides that eventually provokes one into hating the other so much they will die to killl the other. it isnt just Nepal invading Bhutan, Bhutan by all means can launch an offensive while I launch one on them. It's war.

FUTURE

lastly with all the clarifications out of the way i want to talk about what to expect. right now we dont have grief protection or anything of the sort. all we have is really, essentials and 3 homes. well that will change since we are just in the foundation stages of this server so we really dont see the need for some of the features well need later on. no less things are coming. factions, everyone wants it and so ive decided i will after considering what i can do with it so it can fit the format in which our nation and warfare system is going to work. its not going to happen right away due to the fact that i dont have the space which will also come. as far as finances go i have plenty to get through slowly but surely. however donations would be appreciated because it allows more flex room  and more features and such. this is why i am unveiling this site as a place to donate for the server. i dont exactly expect everyone to be active and talk on it like a social media site at all but its a way for one to donate to the server and allow me to know you are the one that donated to recieve said perk.

perks:

~ buy a city

~ starter pack

site: http://wonderwolf.enjin.com/

ip to server if you forgot: 158.85.69.135:28591

so thats all, have a happy new year and yeah thats it folks!
