Overview
Field manual regarding settlement declarations and engagement protocols for the Three Kingdoms season.
Overview
Settlement declaration rules dictate how Alliances, Clans, and Cohorts (Warlord Faction) contest territory. While standard settlements rely on basic level requirements, the capital city, Luoyang, operates under high-influence and high-rank restrictions.
Standard Settlement Rules
- Access: Open to all regions; no season-phase restrictions currently in effect.
- Requirements: Restricted solely by Clan or Cohort level.
- Commander Rotation: Based on real-time Prestige rankings.
Luoyang Declaration Protocols
Luoyang utilizes unique mechanics for commander priority and entry requirements.
Commander Priority (Alliance Influence)
Unlike standard fiefs, the commanding Alliance for Luoyang is determined by Total Map Influence, not Prestige.
- The Alliance with the highest total influence on the declaration list takes command of the next battle line.
- After a battle line concludes, the previous commander moves to the bottom of the rotation.
Clan Faction Requirements
- Level: Clan must be Level 7.
- Influence: Alliance must possess at least 5,000 Total Influence.
- Authority: Only the Alliance's Main Clan may declare war. Independent Clans may declare if they meet Level 7 and 5,000 Influence thresholds individually.
- Persistence: If Influence falls below 5,000 during an active battle line, pending players (attackers and defenders) are barred from entering.
Warlord Faction (Cohorts) Requirements
The Warlord Faction initiates an Assemble For War under specific conditions:
- Proximity: Must occupy a Guanzhong Settlement adjacent to Luoyang (Hangu Pass or Dagu Pass).
- Level: Cohort must be Level 7.
- Rank: Players must hold the rank of Headquarters Officer or higher to join.
- Priority: Upon completion of the "Assemble For War" camp phase, the Warlord Faction bypasses the standard queue to command the next battle line immediately.
Key Schedule Update
Effective August 19, the following strategic changes occur:
- Level 6 Fiefs: Declarations for Level 6 settlements are unlocked.
- Passes: Warfare opens for Dagu Pass, Tong Pass, and Wu Pass.
Campaign Improvements
- Holding the Pass: Rule descriptions updated for clarity during this specific campaign stage.
