Actions
Missions depart from a bastion, consume travel time and are resolved by the server on arrival.
Every mission leaves a bastion, follows a server-calculated route and resolves on arrival. Travel time gives opponents a window to react, reinforce or move their own forces.
Within a region, routes follow the six directions of the offset hex grid. Because even rows are staggered, some visual diagonals are direct neighbors and do not create square detours.
The Transfers tab is only used to immediately move resources or units between the player’s own bastions. The player selects the convoy units, and its load must fit their transport capacity.
The Transfer action is also available on the map after selecting another owned bastion, with that destination already selected. Resource exchanges between players use Trade, while military support uses reinforcements whose units retain their owner.
A transfer underway appears in the Active movements panel for the regions involved in its route. It can be cancelled there before arrival: the convoy and cargo then turn back on the map and only return to the origin bastion when that trip ends. The same action remains available from the complete mission list.
A player under temporary protection cannot be targeted by raids, blocked spying, outpost assaults, tower attacks or foundation camp attacks. Their structures display a dome on the map and the tooltip says they are under protection.
The target card and its right-click menu use the same “Spy” and “Prepare a raid” entries. The send labels shown inside their forms do not replace these action names in the context menu.
Protection is broken when a protected player launches a hostile action against another non-NPC player. Power gaps may also warn, block or add infamy depending on the active settings. In warning mode, the player must explicitly confirm before launching the action.
When a power-gap confirmation is required, the action button stays disabled until the checkbox is selected. Changing target recalculates the warning and requires a fresh confirmation when needed.
A victorious raid against a player at least two times weaker adds 2 Infamy points. From three times their power onward, victory adds 4 Infamy points and, outside an active war, maximum loot drops from 50% to 25% of each exposed resource. Combat and casualties receive no artificial handicap.
The same attacker can obtain loot from only two victorious raids against the same player during a rolling 24-hour window, across all of the defender’s bastions. Later raids remain possible but transfer no resources; a defeat or a victory without loot does not consume this allowance.
Server validation has priority: if a target is protected, the form is blocked even if the map has just refreshed.
The result is not frozen at launch. The target can change, a garrison can arrive, diplomacy can evolve, or an action can be cancelled. Resolution uses the real world state at the exact moment the mission arrives.
Reference
Before contracts, the Expeditions tab can send an Explorer into a sector with a guaranteed lead. The trip reveals one personal landmark on arrival, then the Explorer returns normally to the bastion. The journal keeps that landmark and a direct link to its tile.
After reconnaissance, preparation announces the exact result, minimum force, Cart requirement, calculated losses, full travel time, cooldown and seasonal right. Any change to those data invalidates confirmation and requires a fresh preparation.
The expedition departs with the troops actually committed, resolves on the server at arrival and returns with survivors. Recruited auxiliaries join the origin bastion on return; cancelling during outbound travel starts a normal return without consuming the contract right or cooldown.
Raids, spying when enabled by setting, outpost attacks, tower attacks and camp attacks are rejected against a protected player. A protected player who attacks another player loses protection.
A raid sends units toward a hostile bastion or structure. Travel, power and losses are recalculated server-side. Power gaps change Infamy and sometimes loot; after two victorious looting raids against the same player within 24 hours, later raids yield no resources. If no attacker survives and no loot is carried, the mission ends without a returning convoy.
Scouts report information according to the reached intel level and the target detection defenses.
NPCs automatically recruit with the same costs, requirements and training times as players. Their army target scales with Barracks level and follows a faction-specific composition. A defensive reserve is always kept before missions.
Player towers and outposts, especially those with weak garrisons, are targeted before bastions: NPCs destroy towers and can capture outposts. Growth is controlled by npc.army.* and pressure by npc.offense.*.
Each seasonal instance keeps its NPC faction doctrine and additionally receives the people it represents in its region. npc.offense.max_actions_per_region_per_tick caps pressure originating from one region, while a player already under active NPC pressure cannot receive a second one.
Units may join a player tower or outpost. An alliance automatically grants military support between members; a non-aggression pact may also grant it explicitly.
Each contingent keeps the name of its player and origin bastion, takes part in the shared defense, and can only be recalled by its player. The stationed garrison and all detachments in transit are visible to the owner and every partner authorized to contribute.
Several players may simultaneously send a detachment to the same position without preventing its owner from sending their own troops; each player may nevertheless have only one active garrison movement toward that position at a time.
Recall remains available after an agreement ends, while a reinforcement still in transit returns home if permission is no longer valid on arrival. The report then explicitly distinguishes an ownership change from expired military support. A position owner may launch a reinforcement call that remains visible to authorized partners for an admin-managed duration.
Transfer convoys move resources and units only between the same player’s bastions, according to their capacity and travel time.
The Trade page lets a player propose an “I provide X for Y” contract to an authorized diplomatic partner. A contract may expire or be cancelled before acceptance. The form only asks for resources: both sides exclusively use Carts and automatically mobilize the minimum number required for the load.
One Cart carries 120 resources with the active definition. The sender must already own their Carts; the recipient’s Carts are checked only when they accept. The live summary displays each convoy’s load, maximum transportable amount, remaining capacity, and required Carts; a game synchronization does not clear a form being edited.
On acceptance, the server checks both bastions’ stocks, Carts, permissions, and routes together: both linked convoys depart, or neither does. Each convoy carries exactly the accepted basket, without a diplomatic delivery modifier or delivery bonus.
Between members of the same alliance, Convoy charters only reduces travel time according to its level and never changes either basket. Carts remain their player’s property and become available again after delivery. Commercial reports remind players of both baskets and open the corresponding contract in history. History remains readable and can recreate an old offer.
A foundation convoy may travel to any reachable neutral tile, even beyond territorial influence, then start the construction of a new bastion. The target must respect the admin-managed minimum hex distance from the player’s other bastions and foundation sites, plus an admin-managed three-tile distance from every regional passage by default. A distance of three is allowed; only closer tiles are forbidden. When cancelled, the convoy makes a real return trip and keeps its resources and units committed until arrival. Claims, control towers and outposts remain limited by their own territorial range.
