Factions
Last modified:
Founding a faction
The first few steps every faction goes through.
/faction create <name>founds your faction and makes you its leader.- Stand in a province and run
/faction setcapital <name>. This is required before you can claim anything else. - Stand in a province adjacent to land you already own and run
/faction claim(leader only). - Invite others with
/faction invite <player>; they accept with/faction join <name>.
Note
Untitled land is capped at 5 provinces. Claim a 6th and you're told to form a County first: see the tier table below.
Titles and tiers
Prestige unlocks the next title tier, each with its own province-forming cost.
| Tier | Prestige needed | Form cost |
|---|---|---|
| Province (untitled) | 10 | N/A |
| County | 100 | 5 |
| Duchy | 400 | 4 |
| Kingdom | 1,000 | 4 |
| Empire | 2,500 | 3 |
Prestige ranks
Prestige rank is separate from title tier. It lowers the de-jure requirement for annexing land as you climb.
| Rank | Prestige |
|---|---|
| Obscure Faction | 0 |
| Influential Faction | 200 |
| Powerful Faction | 500 |
| Glorious Faction | 600 |
| Legendary Faction | 3,000 |
Money and banking
Banking needs a claimed bank chunk.
The leader places a faction bank block, then anyone standing in that bank chunk can /faction deposit <amount>; only the leader can /faction withdraw <amount>. Guilds work the same way with their own bank chunk. Every deposit and withdrawal moves denars: see the Denar Economy page for how the currency itself works.

Guilds and government
A guild is a sub-organisation inside your faction, useful for trade income.
Any non-leader member can /guild create <name> to start a sub-guild with its own bank, leadership, and trade branches (Bureaucracy, Guild Halls, Workshops, Storehouses). The faction leader runs the "base guild" automatically. From /faction menu you can also open government, laws, taxes, council and elections: under a democracy the leader can't be set directly; players vote at voting booths instead.
Resource nodes
Guilds also own resource nodes: production sites that turn out ores, crops, wood or stone on a repeating cycle. You must be in a guild to place one, and a one-person guild is enough.
- Craft a General Node and place it. A guild can own only one node, and each chunk holds only one.
- Run it as an Ore Mine, Magical Mine, Farm, Plantation, Forestry or Quarry, then pick what it focuses on.
- Upgrades from level 1 to 10 are paid from the guild bank, so the guild needs a bank with funds in it.
- Only members of the owning guild can change a node. A guild leader can claim a node that another guild has marked for transfer.
War and battles
Battles are scheduled events, not spontaneous fights.
When a war has been declared, check /war list. Form a squad with /warband create <name>, then join a scheduled fight with /battle join <battleId> when its window opens, or a campaign raid with /raid join during its 60-second muster. Retreating a warband mid-battle is locked for the first 20 minutes.
Installations
Built by a faction leader with /faction construct, in an owned, non-water province.
| Type | Radius | Upkeep / day | Build time | Vehicle slots |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Fort | 80 blocks | 50 d | 5 days | 8 static emplacement + 2 land vehicle |
| Port | 80 blocks | 20 d | 3 days | 8 ship |
| Airport | 80 blocks | 35 d | 3 days | 10 aircraft |
Note
Berthing a vehicle requires the vehicle's owner to be online and consent. An unpaid vehicle (see
/faction vehicle maintenance pay) cannot be repaired.Mercenaries
A guild can found a mercenary company and hire it out to other factions.
Inside a guild, /company found <name> buys a charter; the company leader invites recruits and drafts a contract with /company draft, then sends it to a buyer faction with /company offer <faction>. Buyers browse the market with /mercenaries and hire with /mercenaries hire <company>.
