Diplomacy and alliances

Diplomacy frames permissions

Relations do more than display a status. They determine which hostile actions are allowed, which cooperation options exist, what information can be shared and which exchanges are available between players.

Temporary protection

New players receive 7 days of protection by default, with an admin-managed duration. While it is active, their bastions, outposts, towers and foundation camps are not valid hostile targets.

This protection is visible to other players when badges are enabled: a dome appears above structures on the map and the tooltip says "Under protection". Profiles also show the protected state, and the protected player sees a reminder below the resource bar.

• The block covers raids and structure attacks.
• Spying can be blocked through an admin setting.
• A hostile action launched by the protected player ends their protection.
• Natural expiry or broken protection creates a player report.

Preparing for a long absence

Players activate vacation mode from its dedicated account tab. Activation is rejected after a recent hostile action, during an incoming hostile mission, trade convoy or allied reinforcement, or while a mission, convoy, territorial queue or any of their own units remains stationed at a foreign position.

Once active, the account remains available in read-only mode. Production, construction, research and training are frozen without accumulation; positions stay visible and explicitly protected, but project no influence, block no routes and contribute nothing to fronts or territorial objectives.

• The minimum active duration is 7 days by default.
• A player-requested return then starts 24 hours of visible remobilization, still frozen and protected.
• Queues resume with exactly their remaining time when remobilization ends.
• A 30-day cooldown then starts before vacation can be activated again.
• The player’s troops may remain in their bastions, towers and outposts, all frozen with the account. A quick action recalls those stationed at foreign positions and a report signals when every required return is complete.
• Allied contingents already stationed at the player’s own positions keep their owner and remain recallable.

Vacation mode can therefore neither interrupt an active attack, generate offline production, nor lock strategic territory for free.

Premium, Obols and beta

Premium is backed by a time-limited entitlement checked by the server. Its status and end date are visible in a dedicated Account tab, which every Premium emblem shown in the game links to directly.

While the store is disabled, no purchase is available and the team may continue to grant 30 free days to selected testers. Once legal and technical readiness is approved, one-off purchases will credit account-bound Obols.

In Reports, active Premium access allows favorites, up to five personal tags per report, and up to ten saved filter combinations.

On the map, active Premium access allows up to ten saved views per world with their framing, zoom, player filter, and Ash or Territory layers, without revealing additional data.

In Missions, it allows up to ten saved unit compositions and ten convoy presets. A preset fills compatible units, resources and route choice without storing the target, launching the action, or bypassing current availability and validation.

Premium heraldic customization, shown first in that tab while access is active, offers three purely visual crests. Players separately choose whether to show one on their public profile, with their bastion and in rankings, and whether their Premium status is public.

The basic manual simulator is available to everyone in Missions. It estimates a battle from the entered armies, context, and doctrine research levels entered separately for the attacker and defender under the active public rules, without changing the world or revealing hidden data. Premium allows up to ten saved scenarios, duplication, importing the player’s own combat reports or unit presets, and comparing two scenarios. Importing an older report only restores its known forces and defenses; terrain and research levels must be checked by the player.

• A beta grant lasts 30 days and never renews automatically.
• The team may extend it by 30 days or revoke it; every operation is logged.
• At expiration, Premium rights automatically become inactive without deleting previously saved preferences.
• Basic type and read-status filters remain available to everyone; Premium adds neither exclusive information nor extra retention.
• Favorites, tags, saved filters, saved map views, presets and cosmetic choices become available again when new Premium access is activated.
• This foundation grants no power or progression advantage.
• The three planned packs contain 600 Obols for €4.99, 1,260 for €9.99, and 3,300 for €24.99. The last two include their bonus, and the initial limit is €50 over 30 days.
• Before payment, the player expressly requests immediate credit of the Obols. Stripe Checkout then collects mandatory acceptance of the Terms of Sale. After payment confirmation, an email summarizes the order and attaches the accepted terms and withdrawal form; an online request remains available from order history for 14 days.
• Paid Premium has three stackable durations: 7 days for 140 Obols, 14 days for 275 Obols, and 21 days for 400 Obols. The total horizon remains capped at 365 days, with no subscription or automatic renewal.
• Obols never expire, cannot be transferred, and cannot be exchanged for cash or game resources. Every credit and spend is recorded.

The activation flag is closed by default: the store remains hidden and no Checkout can start until configuration, webhooks, and the legal framework are ready.

Coordinating without revealing everything

Alliances and pacts provide coordination tools, but shared vision remains intentionally limited. The game preserves uncertainty so scouting, visible movements and timing stay valuable.
