War Gameplay

🏱️ How War Works

In EnvyRealms, war is a strategic and immersive part of the nation-building experience.
Towns can be defended and captured. Battles aren’t just about brute strength.
Timing, coordination, and preparation make all the difference. Knowing when you’re vulnerable,
how defenses work, and what actions can trigger retaliation is key to both defending and conquering territory.

Note: Attacks can only happen if a nation has at least 4 members online.

🏰 Defending Your Town

Each town has a Monument Core at its center. This is your lifeline. Protect it at all costs.

Key Defense Tips:

• Keep Shields Active: Shields make your town completely immune to attacks while active. You can purchase them via /k menu.
  • 💡 Note: War Rule 6 states that large nations must have at least one town that is vulnerable to attack.
    It doesn’t have to be every day, but a potential battleground must exist if they are at war.
    
• Build a Proper Wall: Walls should include stone-type blocks in their palette. Breaking these blocks is what reduces the armor count.
  If you skip this, enemies can easily walk through your town, putting it at risk.
  
• Invest in Armor: Armor adds player health-style defensive points to your town. Breaking a wall block with a stone-type material
  depletes these armor points. Once depleted, attackers can access the town freely.
  
• Use Traps Wisely: Defenders can build and activate traps to slow down attackers. However, since attackers must remain still while
  breaking walls, using too many traps can be unfair.
  • 💡 Note: War Rule 3 states that excessive trap usage makes a town unreasonable to attack.
    If you’re unsure whether your defense is fair, contact staff.
    
• Use Bows Effectively: Bows are a powerful defensive weapon, especially when attackers are forced to stand still while breaking walls.
  High MCMMO Archery skill gives you a chance to daze attackers, causing their camera to snap upward and making it harder for them to respond.

⚔️ Attacking a Town

To capture a town, your goal is to destroy its Monument Core.

How to Attack:

1. Breach the Wall:
   • Breaking stone-type wall blocks reduces the town’s armor points.
   • Once all armor points are depleted, attackers can advance.
   • Players breaking armor blocks are glowing, so sneaky tactics won’t work.
     
2. Destroy the Monument:
   • Locate the Monument Core and break the central core blocks.
   • The player who breaks the final core block becomes the new mayor.
   • The town is automatically transferred to their nation.

⚠ If all attackers leave the town’s claims, defenders can refill armor points back to full. Stay persistent!
